It is Saturday and we now know for certain that our precious baby boy will definitely need to have brain surgery to correct a bone in his head that has fused too early. We are broken once again...wondering how much more his little body will have to endure. Sometimes we want to say that we have been faithful enough. But we know that there is no limit to the amount of faithfulness that God requires of us. So we will trust Him to guide us through the months that lie ahead.
On the day that we met with the Neurosurgeon and heard the news, we read the following in our devotions...
"We always assume that the desert is not where we belong. Perhaps it was too subtle, but if we would have paid attention we might have felt His hand with delicate softness take ours, and our fingers slowly interlock, and then the gentle pull away from green grass and the mountain springs. We might have seen that we did not wander here alone...What would it be like to know without question that God is as present on the floor of the canyon as He is on the crest of the hill? To have this confident hope buried deep in our bones. To know no other than our Savior and feel the soul scream , "This is enough! I need no more than You! You are a feast! You are a cool spring! You are deliverance! You are a balm for all wounds! Your near presence is everything! It is breath! It is life!"
