Austin has been losing weight and strength
over the last couple of months.
It's a balancing act as we seek to manage meds and lifestyle.
He trusts in the LORD. We do too.
What a blessing it is to know that He does all things well.
Eternal perspective is imperative always, but,
especially in times like these.
Our Great God is Faithful.
He is able to do amazing things.
He already has.
Throughout this trial we pray that the
LORD would be exalted.
That He would be magnified.
That He would be praised.
It's the reason we exist.
Whatever He deems best is what we want.
For Austin. For our family. By His grace.
How precious each day is!
Austin was taken off one of his heart medications
due to the fact that it seemed to be aggravating his Crohn's Disease.
However, it is apparent that this medicine is
necessary for Austin's heart function.
If he cannot tolerate it (or its cousin)
he will require the placement of a pacemaker.
We pray that all will go well with this drug.
But, if the LORD can use Austin more
effectively with a pacemaker, that is what we want.
His will, not ours, be done.
Our times are in His hands.
Our children belong to Him.
Please pray for Austin's body to accept this medicine.
Please pray that the Crohn's would not flare
due to the re-introduction of it.
And, of course, please pray for complete healing.
Our God is able. But, His ways are not ours ~
They are higher.
HIS will be done.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
With Love,
Camille

Dear Camille,
Our family will lift Austin up to our Heavenly Father.
Your precious family is in our prayers..
Your faith filled words are an encouragement to all who read your blog.. May He give your Austin strength and healing.
We will pray for Austin daily in our evening devotions.
God Bless,

Oh Camille, I am praying the words you so beautifully shared on your posting about His promises and will in you and Austin's life. I am so sorry to hear that he is struggling again. Having two illnesses is not easy for one child to bear. I will pray for courage, perseverance and complete healing. And faithfulness in understanding. Blessings to you and hugs. Pippa
Camille,
I am praying for you tonight. For all that you asked. We have been praying for another young man, baby James. He was born 5 mo early and weighs a little over 1 lb. He's 12 inches long. Their prayer requests model yours nearly exactly.
God is able. God can. Praying He will!

Most definitely praying for Austin's physical needs. Sorry to hear of this but know that he is in good hands, many ways. I'm sure it's hard for you to see him suffer and not know what's around the bend. But God is there in the midst of it and giving you some shade when you need it to rest and then strength to go on a bit further with Him as your everlasting Father, our guide and friend. Hugs to all of u!
Thinking of you and your dear family during this time of uncertainty. Praying for peace and continued trust in the Almighty.
