This morning, at 4:00 am, it was an absolute privilege to be able to get up and nurse my daughter back to sleep.
I used the time to pray for Sophia. Sophia is 8 months old, and she had a CT scan yesterday morning. They found a brain tumor. It's described as 'advanced'. She is having brain surgery this morning at 8:00 am central time. Please, please, pray for Sophia. She is in God's hands, and her parents are resting in this, but I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling. Please pray for them as well. You can find updates at her father's twitter account here.
And know that I am holding my babies a LOT closer today, and counting each moment a privilege and a precious gift from God.
Joel and Carrie
Joel and I have been married for 14 years now, and dating since 1999! I'm so thankful to have the opportunity to praise God alongside this man!
Zachary Wayne
Zachary is our nine-year-old boy! He is all boy, loves Legos, Star Wars, and watching sports with Daddy! Zachary just soaks up learning! We are so thankful that he loves praising Jesus already, and hope that we'll have many more years to teach him what loving God really means! Zachary is our very first blessing, and his name means "God has remembered".
Natalie Grace
Natalie is our little sweetheart, our seven-year-old daughter! I can't believe how she's grown up in the last year! Of course, she has to keep up with Zachary, and she loves to cuddle with both Mommy and Daddy, and to be a mama to anyone who will let her, especially Davey. :)
David Isaac
Davey, our second son, was born in July 2011 - we are so thankful for him!! He is my crazy climber, my clean house wrecker, and my littlest joy. He is our class clown, always walking around with something on his head or dancing to make us laugh!! David Isaac means Beloved Laughter, and he lives up to his name!

Thank you for sharing Carrie. Thank you for the gentle reminder as well.
How sad, I'll keep Sophia in my prayers.
That whole story is just so sad and shocking for them. Art knew Jon's family when they were out in Washington. We are praying today!
As much as I love sleep, God always used the nighttime feedings to provide a great time of prayer! We'll be praying for little Sophia!
