For Collection

I have started collecting the messages, texts, and emails that I've been receiving on behalf of Little Mister. It would be so awesome if you could email directly to This new address 

I promise to save and cherish all emails. I plan on making an album of all of them so that I can show our little one how loved and prayed for he was even before he was born!

(Incase this computer challenged mamma to be messed up the above link, it is prayersforthecoles@gmail.com) 

Thanks!

Confirmation

We've been living with the news of our baby's heart condition for several weeks now. After meeting with our cardiologist for the second time, he confirmed that there were no changes in the heart and Little Mister  most definitely does not have the muscle that should separate the left and right ventricle.


The outpouring of love that we have received as we slowly inform our friends and family of the news has been overwhelming. I have received the most beautiful words from so many of my sweet friends. A few ladies in particular have been praying and interceding on Little Mister's behalf and I have truly felt their prayers and encouragement more than I can say. 
-After a particularly emotional week, a friend sent me a link to a song that spoke directly to my heart. I've made sure to listen to it every day as part of my quiet time with the Lord. 
-A most precious lady that has known me since ninth grade has typed out her prayers for our family and sent them to me. Who knew you could truly feel the presents of God while reading a Facebook message? -After hearing a familiar voice at MFS I discovered that I knew one of the nurses there from my parent's church in North Carolina. She has the sweetest spirit and remembers me singing at church when I was ten years old. She is now unofficially "my" nurse and has been assigned to me at every appointment since. 
-Our small group has been such a blessing in this time as well. When we shared the news with them, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Its such a blessing to have those four couples lifting us up in prayer on a consistent basis. 
-David has been part of a volunteer parking team at church for the past several months and the men in the group pray for us specifically every time they meet.


All of these encounters, prayers, songs, and love are a product of our amazing Father who has consistently poured out His love through the Holy Spirit. David and I have discussed almost feeling knocked over by the love that we have felt over the past several weeks. We have truly been living 1 John 3:1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!


And Romans 5:5: And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.


David will be helping with my next post that will explain in more detail the medical side of things. 


Until then, I'll leave you with the amazing song that was sent to me.
