It consumes my every thought and at times, it is relentless. Just today, I was watching Cannon play with his daddy and I saw it. I saw a glimpse of no worries, no stress, no need for surgery, no need for a helmet, no craniosynostosis and then it came punching me in the stomach that is not our reality, that is not our life.
Yet, I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. ~Psalm 121~
Ashley, How kind of you to share your story with others and to use your story to educate and encourage others that may be going through the same trial. It is SO hard to understand why all this is happening but you are so wise to depend of God's Word...He is faithful. You and Chase are the PERFECT parents for Chandler and Cannon. They are blessed little boys to have such loving, God-fearing parents. Please know that I think of and pray for you often and will continue to do so!!! May God bless your PRECIOUS Cannon and each one of you! Love, Marcia
