I wanted to update everyone once more and urge us to continue to pray for Kaden. After much deliberation, the doctors do feel it will be necessary to change his broviac line. They will not be able to place this until next week, pushing everything back and keeping Kaden and the family in the hospital without any time home. Let us pray not only for healing for Kaden and for a safe surgery to replace his central line but also for patience and endurance for Jen and Tim. There lives from a hospital room are not something I can even pretend to imagine. May we lift them up to the Lord in this time of waiting.
I have been doing an older Bible study by Beth Moore on the book of Esther this summer. Recently, we have been discussing timing. One of the last scenarios she mentions is "When the meantime is God-time." She reminds us of Isaiah 40:31:
...but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
Let us pray this for Jen and Tim--that their strength may be renewed, not as they wait on the surgery or on the next round of chemo, but as they "wait for the Lord." That their strength will be renewed in Him alone. Oh, may it be so!
Please continue to check my "Prayers for Kaden" Tab, as I will continue updates there! Your prayers are so appreciated!
