SILENCE...

I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God. - Psalm 38:15

We still wait..with no new information. The silence is unbearable at times, but we know our Father is not silent. He is at work. Our comfort and strength is found in knowing that we are waiting on the One who holds our daughter in His hand while at the same time holding us firmly in His hand as well.

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. - Psalm 130:5-6

Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for our Abigail and for us.

We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. - Psalm 33:20

Praying here in Washington State that you will be saturated with peace that passes all understanding and that the Lord will show you how He is carrying you. Also praying for miracles for sweet Abigail!

I am so sorry. The waiting with no word on your sick child is all but unbearable. We waited with no word last summer. It was a real physical pain in my heart, in my soul, like none I've ever felt before or since.

Though I found it hard to believe it at times, this passage brought me to the throne of God over and over again during that time:

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you (Abigail) not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:25-34
