Don't Worry Be Happy Now!

Master Brody has had a good day. Mommy too. I've been up there most of the day. I fed him his bottle 3 times today. He does so well. Most of the time he eats more than the requirement, which makes up for the couple of times he doesn't. He is still having his usual problem. Desating then into bradycardia. These "spells" are clustered around his feedings (even on day 3 of the new drug for his reflux). He was started on an apnea monitor that will give a more accurate reading of his spells. Now it's an investigation game to uncover the reason and fix it.

I didn't get to talk to Hannah Grace's parents today. She should still be going home soon.

Waylon's parents went home to Parkersburg for a few days to re-group, rest, and re-set (therefore I do not have any updates on him). Poor Michelle went to the doctor one morning and by the end of the day was in Morgantown via ambulance then a week and 1/2 later delivered Waylon. Needless to say she wasn't prepared mentally or physically for an extended vacation at the Ronald McDonald House.

Our new friends, Shane & Tabitha need prayers for baby Trevor. He will undergo heart surgery tomorrow to close the PDA. He is still very little and they are very nervous and have asked for our prayers.

I told Tabitha that God is already at tomorrow, so don't worry. I say that often sometimes people don't get it and think I'm crazy (ok kids I am crazy but everyone doesn't know, shhhh). But God is ever-present right? So he is in yesterday, today, and tomorrow at the same time. He knows tomorrow today. He is waiting for me in tomorrow today. I don't have to worry about tomorrow because God is already there. God is in tomorrow knowing what the day holds, knowing what I need before I do, waiting to hold me or cheer for me.

Worry does no-one any good. It only eats at the worrier and does not change the circumstances even a little. Nada!!! The more I have learned to truly trust in God my worry has escaped (thank you Jesus). Worry can be debilitating and when we are debilitated Satan wins. If I lay in bed and worry if Brody is breathing doesn't change whether he is or isn't. But it will change what kind of mommy he has tomorrow. And if Shane and Tabitha are up all night with worry about Trevor's surgery it won't change the outcome. But sleeping well tonight and praying during the surgery will. I pray we all learn to throw our worries away, God wants that for us. Try it, it's exhilarating and life changing.

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?

Matthew 6:25 "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?
