Ollie Faith

Most of you who read  my drivel,

also read my daughter Annie's blog.

You know this story 

I am about to tell.

For those of you who don't,

it is a tale of love and faith.

My oldest daughter, Annie and her husband, Jade 

are expecting their third child, a daughter

in a matter of days.

The doctor has planned an induction

for Feb. 10th at 9a.m. 

This baby, Ollie Faith,

is famous around these parts.

She has been the object of 

many fasts and prayers.

The warriors have been petitioning

on her behalf for months.

You see, the doctors tell us she has

A/V Canal defect, 

a heart defect.

You can read the details here.

They also suspect here is a good chance

Ollie has Down Syndrome. 

This, we won't know until her birth.

After many ultrasounds and tests

the doctors give us great hope.

They assure us that her's is 

a condition that a surgery can fix. 

The surgery would be around her 15 lbs. mark.

The medical team called the procedure

"old hat".

The success rates are phenomenal.

What we are certain of, is God.

We know He alone is in control.

It is our calling to surrender to Him.

He can heal her heart.
He can choose to deliver to us a 

perfectly formed, healthy heart.

He is all powerful.

God has a purpose for Ollie's life.

We have absolute trust in Him.

Whether His plan includes doctors,

surgeons, or not, 

we will bend our knees and praise Him.

We will honor our Lord and

we will count our blessings.

For we know, that He is good all the time.

All the time He is good.

Your love, support, and prayers

mean the world to us. 

Thank you so much.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty

hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

1 Peter 5: 6,7

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalms 9: 9,10
