It doesn't seem fair.
I've been following 3 month old baby Chaia's story. Today they did a PET scan, and it showed her heart is more damaged than they originally figured.
I want to ask "Why God?" But her parents have such a heavenly perspective. They count it as joy to go through these trials.
I remember God's grace carrying us through during those early months of Riley's diagnosis.
But we weren't looking at such a serious, dire prognosis.
My mama's heart is in pieces for this family. I cry throughout the day and fall to my knees begging God to work a miracle here.
It's all too close for comfort. Watching their video's describing their days at the Cleveland Clinic filled with up's and down's, bring rushing back all the emotions that flooded me during our stay.
The scariest days of my life.
Less than 10 months ago,
but they seem like years ago.
So much has happened since then!
God has been very good to us.
But He's a good God, and no matter His plans for us, he will always be good and loving.
Ben ( Chaia's dad) said something in one of his video clips about believing in the character of God.
It has stuck with me.
I just pray that God will choose to let her live a full life and receive glory through the medical miracle she can be.
If there is one thing that I HATE in this world, it is children suffering.
I see God using Chaia's story to draw me closer to Him though. He is a rock. The only One you can count on in a world gone mad.
God brought this verse to mind tonight
concerning Chaia...
"Now unto him that is able to do EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"..
[Ephesians 3:20]
Count your blessings. I'll be counting mine...
Goodnight
We're continuing to keep Chaia and her parents in our prayers. I praise the Lord for their testimony!
