Held

Casa Gallardo restaurant held a fundraiser on Nathan's behalf Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.  It was overwhelming to see the amount of support.  People we didn't even know were there to help.  I thanked the management late in the evening.  They said it was the best fundraiser they've ever have, and it was one of the busiest days they've ever had.  
This is a true testimony once again to how good God is, and what amazing family and friends he's given us.  There are so many people we will not even have the opportunity to thank.  Thank you to all those that did selflessly supported us Sunday, and in so many other ways.  God is working through you to help this journey be a little better.


Nathan is still not eating, and is throwing up.  He started to lose his eyelashes.  He sleeps often, but otherwise is content.


Nathan, from the moment he was born loves to be held.  God is still showing me that just how my son longs for me to hold him in my arms, our heavenly father is holding us in his arms.  I was listening to one of my favorite worship songs, "At the Cross" by Hillsong.  One of the lines is "Your holy presence surrounding me, in every season, I know you love me . . .You go before me, you shield my way, Your hand upholds me, I know you love me."


I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10  


This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through, but I do not walk alone.  My lord, my savior upholds me and provides me the strength. What an amazing God to use someone as small and weak as Nathan, and someone as sinful as me for his plan and purpose.


I pray you will feel the Lord upholding you, and feel his mighty strength.  He is always near. He gave the ultimate sacrifice so we would be eternally free.  How great is our God, how great is his love.
