CHRIST, MY ROCK

It's 4am and I have slept a little and been up a little but Melanie has been up the whole night until about 30 minutes ago. I am begging God for some answers! Witt has been up most the night until just a little bit ago with his stomach bothering him. I say stomach but we are not exactly sure what it is that is hurting...stomach, intestinal tract, etc. All we know is that he moans, grunts and pulls at his feeding tube. At the 9pm feed the doctors started Witt on even a different formula that within a few days should give us a pretty definitive answer as to whether or not he is allergic to milk. I think that you have to give Witt a couple of feeds to even adjust to the different formulas. At least for now they both rest...for now my heart breaks for both of them. I am begging God for answers and this is how He answers me....God fills me with great strength, endurance and hope! I hear Him say over and over again that Witt is His and He is Magnificent!


(Psalm 61:1-3) You have heard my cry, O God; You give heed to my prayer! From the end of the earth I called to you when my heart was faint; You lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For You have been and are a Refuge for me, a Tower of Strength against the enemy.


In the absence of real concrete answers to my questions, God answers me with Himself and there is no greater answer, no other answer could bring the peace, joy and strength that Christ alone brings. He truly knows better...He knows that maybe it's not answers that I ultimately need but the One Who has all the answers and will let me know in His timing! For now we don't have the results of the echo cardiogram but I do have video of Witt during it!!

As I finish this post this is playing on Witt's ipod: How great is our God, sing with me how great is our God, and all will see how great, how great is our God. "Sing" it with me today on Mel's behalf...sing it with me on Witt's behalf and all will see how great is our God...glory!!!
