Scriptures

Did you know that the phrase "do not be afraid" is quoted in the Bible 365 times. That is the same number of days in a year. Be still and know that He is God, that is not coincidence! 

Isaiah 41:10 

"So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you; 

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world,

 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that you may prove what is that good and perfect will of God." 

2 Thessalonians 3:3

"The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen me and protect me from the evil one." 

Jude 1:25

"To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ

our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen."

Isaiah 41:13

"I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

1 Peter 4:10

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, 

faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."

What are your talents? Are you using them for your glory or Gods?

What are you anxious about? Have you taken it to the thrown of grace?

Are you settling into worldly things or are you willing to stand with Christ? 

Have you reflected on the good God has done in your life?

*I asked myself these questions tonight before writing this blog. As I dig deeper into my devotions, I see the things God wants me to focus on. The day to day things I worry about that in the grand scheme of things don't matter. The talents I have let slip to the side. The blog that I once again fell behind on and should be using to spread His word.

Please Pray!

Please pray that these random episodes of Aiden complaining of his leg/foot hurting and crying spells during the nights (sometimes off and on all night long after long active days or when he is off schedule and tired when he lays down for the night) isn't the suspected "cyst" that Doctors have been monitoring. I pray that it hasn't returned with growth. Last check up it was visible on x ray but not changing/growing so we still got to keep our one year out check up verses every three to six months that we were having to go. Well, our one year mark is in May and we may be calling Campbells Clinic before then. Doctor Beaty said if he starts complaining or showing signs of hurt bring him on in. So that may be what we do; although, I can't be sure its even caused from the same thing. I just feel he is too young for the growing pains and its mainly in the same leg he had problems with. If you have no idea what I am even referring to then please feel free to scroll down to prior post on the blog with titles "Oh Foot Praise" and "Playing Catch Up"! 

I am asking anyone who reads this to please pray for our little boy. That it's nothing major. That the cyst didn't grow, that its not actually a tumor (which is why he had a sedated MRI two years ago Dec), and that he sleeps well until we get into see the doctor.

As always, its scary when your child hurts and you have no idea how to make it better or what the problem is. I trust in the fact that God has carried us this far and that He is in control as I've said before. God loves Aiden more than we do.


Update Feb 2016
 Just realized I never updated in May after our check up. Well, the spot wasn't really visible (again) and hasn't changed. Also, it had quit giving him fits shortly after my above post. So the Doctor cleared us!! Thank you, Lord. We don't go back unless he starts having continual episodes again. What a relief. I believe in the power of prayer and really don't take it lightly at all.
