...it pours sometimes. That's sort of how we're feeling today. God remains on His throne, however. Nothing can come our way apart from His sovereign will. We believe it!
"The LORD has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over
all."
Psalm 103:19
Our precious boy, Noble, has had sudden high fevers off and on for three days now. When they come on, he is debilitated. When they pass, he is totally normal. It's been strange and awful for him. Similarly, our other little buddies from the DRC have experienced episodes like these and it has turned out to be malaria. We're wondering if this could also be the case for Noble.
Today he began vomitting and was in and out of awareness. Clearly, something is wrong. He is in the ER with his Daddy and two big sisters who wouldn't let him go without them. He is in Good Hands.
Before he left, he raised his arms to be held, a good sign. He reclined in my arms before going. I'm holding onto that moment right now as I wait for updates and pray. It's interesting to realize just how very much I love this child God blessed me with not so long ago. Noble is very special. He is mine and I'm his. Thank you, Lord, for Noble!
My heart cries out to God for healing for our son. My heart cries out to God for another dear friends' son who is sick with malaria in the DRC right now. Though Noble is in an advanced hospital teaming with the best medical care America has to offer, my heart rejoices for our little buddy in the DRC because I know that the only thing he (and Noble) really need is Jesus. If God chooses healing, then there will be healing, with or without medical care. It's as simple as that. HE is all we ever need.
So, I sit here (on my couch) and I wait for news from the ER and I pray. I lift up my boy, so small and frightened and I praise God that he has a family who loves Him. I thank God as well for our little friend in the Congo. We know that he too has a family who loves him and is praying for him just the same.
We're asking for miracles and healing, Lord. We've read that's what you do. We know that you can. We trust you with every ounce of faith we can muster. Will you?
Thank you for praying with us for our Noble. Please pray for our friend's little boy too.
We await God's perfect plans and trust Him entirely.
He is faithful.
"But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."
2 Thessalonians 3:3
