I heard something today that really made sense...<br />"Courage begins when you turn your fears into prayer"<br /><br />I too have had a difficult time completely handing Maddie over to the Lord, like you I was able to do this best before she was born and as a newborn, before I knew her. I found it helpful to imagine myself physically handing her over to the Lord...knowing she is in His hands is such a comfort when life feels so out of my control.

It is truly so frightening to read about. I wish I could say something to make it all go away and tell you the Fontan will go perfect, and blah blah blah. But i can't. But I will agree with your sweet friend that there is NOTHING going on here that God doesn't already know about, have the ultimate decision on, and will walk with you through. I am scared with you. But I will pray with you that God prepares your heart and bodie's....You are an incredible mama and your family is absolutely awesome. I wish I lived there so I could hug you or take you to wander around Target or coffee or something. Know you are loved from OHIO :) <br /><br />XOXO<br />HeatherHeather https://www.blogger.com/profile/00619711282434142793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-85605890564287853302012-12-09T18:07:51.261-08:002012-12-09T18:07:51.261-08:00I love this post my sweet friend - praying for you...I love this post my sweet friend - praying for you and your sweet boy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877682982361449979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-10698950237568810612012-12-07T22:11:58.983-08:002012-12-07T22:11:58.983-08:00Thank you for sharing this.

I know that feeling when your chest gets tight and you just want to crying, but don't. It's happening this week as we are anticipating another surgery for my husband too. A lot of this that you described is head knowledge, but when God leads you through things like this it gets into your heart and you really know the sacrifice it takes to put God first. I'm so proud of your desire to follow Him and trust Him fully. God will honor that...whatever next summer holds. Please keep us updated as we pray for Bodie and your family.The Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657411604073874201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-77333267506992054452012-12-07T09:17:33.472-08:002012-12-07T09:17:33.472-08:00Thank you for sharing.

You described it perfectly....I always push the "someday surgery" thought way down deep and it tries to come out every now and then and I just can't deal....but it's unavoidable and I will have to face it someday. I hope to be able to give it to God, but I am human and it's hard.

Jesus was afraid before his sacrifice.<br /><br />You are stronger than your mind could ever comprehend. I have faith that Bodie will do well and come out well- and I will be praying for him and with you in July.<br /><br />Bodie has been heaven on earth. A miracle every moment that he has had breath. <br /><br />We are thinking of you and praying for your whole family as July comes up.<br /><br />JuliaThe Whimsical Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262604272724462016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411742878167645288.post-31035782840880208152012-12-06T10:46:41.162-08:002012-12-06T10:46:41.162-08:00I was more nervous about the Fontan than any other...I was more nervous about the Fontan than any other surgery.
