My friend, Nancy's grandson, is doing much better today. It has been a long grueling week of ups and downs, joys and sadness. Aidan did suffer a stroke shortly after birth and does have some brain damage. The Dr's don't know exactly what that will look like as he grows, but we know that God knows and we're trusting Him for His best.
Today Aidan is off of sedation, today he is seizure free, today he is free of most tubes, today he is breathing on his own, today he sucked from a bottle, today he had his first bath. Today is a glorious day. Glory to God in the Highest!!!
In 2004, my friends Sarah and Nancy led a Women's Conference in Solgohachia, Arkansas. I was privileged to travel with them. The theme of the conference was "FAITH is the Victory!" Nancy wrote this poem and I hope she doesn't mind that I share.
Only God....
Only God can take....
The most paralyzing crisis of life,
Apply grace in abundance,
And turn it into a supernatural encounter
With the Most High God.
Only God can.....
-turn darkness into light
-sorrow into joy
-fear into faith
-mourning into celebration
His grace....
Gives wisdom to the inexperienced
Gives rest for the weary
Gives hope to the brokenhearted
Gives mercy, new each morning
Always on time
And ever sufficient.
She has lived out this poem this week and she has stayed strong in the Lord. She has been the light in the darkness and strength to the weary. And at all time in all ways she has given Glory to the one to whom all honor is given, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
