Three weeks have now passed since ZAC entered our world and these three weeks have been fraught with trials, victories, hurdles, joys and disappointments. Questions about Zoe's health, her well-being and her future all end in a big, fat question mark... and this 'punctuation' takes a toll on Kim and Phil, a toll on the extended family and friends and most of all, on little Zoe. It seems that there is no certainty here and that everything is in a constant state of flux.Well, that is not entirely true, is it? Based on our mere mortal standards it may indeed seem that the chaotic events of these past twenty-one days have occurred without rhyme or reason, but if we were to simply accept that then we would be missing an opportunity to glimpse into the Divine.
That these things have happened is fact and that they happened under the permission and with the intentional consent of God is also a fact.
I guess we could bemoan these facts... or we could look deeper:
Why did He have this to happen?
What is He trying to teach us?
How will He be glorified in this?
These are better questions to ask, and while this doesn't make the anxiety go away, it does make it bearable. Bearable by making all those question marks a little less bold.
... And until we have answers to these new questions, we will all continue to pray.

We continue to pray for your little precious Zoe. We are also praying that God's love continues to shower on you, Kim and Phil, as you travel this tough road. Please let us know if you can use anything at all. Melissa Munson
Jesus said to him "if you can belive, all things are possible to him who belive."
Mark 9:23
Dear Lord, I ask Thee to step into Zoe's sickroom and deal with her according to Thy wisdom and mercy. O Lord, bless her good health for Your glory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Zoe, Kim and Phil, each of you are wrapped in the arms of our Father, the Everlasting. You are covered with blankets of prayer. Our help comes from the Lord, comes from the Lord.
Happy 3 week b-day Zoe!! You are a wonderful gift from God!
