“I am getting desperately afraid of going to Heaven for I have had the vision of the shame I shall suffer as I get my first glimpse of the Lord Jesus; His majesty, power and marvellous love for me, who treated Him so meanly and shabbily on earth, and acted as though I did Him a favour in serving Him! No wonder God shall have to wipe away the tears off all faces, for we shall be broken-hearted when we see the depth of His love and the shallowness of ours.”
—Missionary Charles Thomas Studd
Hey everyone! GREAT NEWS…
Our son Alistair was discharged and came home last night… after EXACTLY 40 days. What a significant number throughout the Bible- symbolizing a time of testing and tribulation and finally triumph with new growth... what we believe God has been doing!
Please continue praying with us — he will have ongoing weekly surgical dilations to stretch out his esophagus until the surgery team sees that his esophagus stays at the right size.
We are thankful for you and your ongoing love and support. We have continued to trust in what Jesus desires and is doing - far more than we could ask or imagine!
@Kruselady amen!!! That’s certianly our prayer.
@Kruselady his full name is Alistair shield. We had a list of names and prayerfully considered feeling like this was the one! Alistair means courageous / defender of the people, and shield resembling God as our shield, as seen throughout scripture.
@Kruselady thank you for praying!! We really appreciate it.
Yes there are a variety of episodes there… we’re you able to find the one about our situation with Alistair ok?
We are prayerfully and eagerly waiting out baby, Alistair’s test this coming Friday after surgery… thank you for continuing to pray with us for this!!!
also - I recently recorded this podcast to share how we have processed and what God is showing us. I hope it encourages you as well…
