Five weeks ago this coming Wednesday, we were told our baby had a greater chance of death than she did of life. Then she was diagnosed with a grade 3 brain bleed and fought pneumonia. Two weeks ago this coming Wednesday, she stopped breathing a few times. Things did not look good and Michael and I hit our knees, begging God to either save our daughter, or to prepare our hearts if it was His plan to call her home to Him.
Today, I gave our very alert, breathing easily, wiggly little miracle her very first bath in a tiny tub. She grasped my finger as she sucked her pacifier and we fell asleep together with her snuggled up in the blankets.
I didn't take my digital camera with me to the hospital today, but I did catch a few shots with her from the disposable camera that we keep in her room. I even got a picture of her with our favorite day nurse, Carrie!
She smiled at me today! I was thrilled. I cried, of course. She was so alert. Her eyes were wide open and she was wiggling around, looking at everything she could lay her eyes on.
I have to tell you, if you have a storm you are facing -- take it to Jesus. If you have something you're unsure of in your life -- take it to Jesus. He will make any uncertainty disappear. He will heal all of your hurts and wounds. If you have a burden you are carrying, remember that He's the same today as He was before that burden appeared. There is NOTHING too big for God. ALL things are possible!

A smile? Are you kidding me? THAT is awesome! God has totally been in control and will always be in control. Miss June is one tough cookie! God bless y'all!!
Hey! I found the painting at a gift shop here in Macon called Chi Chesters. I'll ask the ladies next time I'm in there the company name; there's nothing on the painting to tell me who the company is. It was really reasonable considering the size - like $66, I think! They told me when I bought it that they can't keep them in stock because they're so popular!
Praise God!
