And He's Off...

Last night was a little more emotional than we expected. God is good, He gives peace. That pushed bedtime back and when the alarm went off it was time to get right to it again. Grandma came over to see Maelyn and Levi off for a day with friends. Praise the Lord traffic was good on the way down to Children's and I didn't get pulled over. I wasn't driving fast but I am amazed at the things you concern yourself with in a situation like this. Myles had another great night last night and rested well for surgery today. It becomes much more real when they unplug everything and start to roll him out of his pod. When they head down one hall to the operating room and the nurse takes you to the waiting room it hits you like a wave.
The only way I can think to explain it is how Peter must have felt as he walked on the water to Jesus. I'm sure he felt the wind and waves all around him. I could imagine the feeling of the spray hitting his face, soaking his beard. I'm sure he felt the surreal feeling too that he was doing something that was beyond himself. I'm sure the waves were hitting his legs and crashing onto his back. I can imagine that as he stared into the eyes of the one who called him onto the water that the crashing wave felt like a gentle breeze amid the peace found in the eyes of his friend and Savior.
We aren't ignorant of the severity of what Myles is going through but as we keep our focus on Christ he gives us great peace. Are we scared? Yes, but we know that God has a plan. Not only a plan for us but for our entire family. We are praising him in the midst of the waves of this storm for the great things He is doing and will do. We just want to continually thank you for your prayers and ask that God keep being praised and glorified through this.
