This may not make sense to some,
but we are going to miss
This Face!
Tomorrow is one of the biggest days
of our sweet girly's life so far,
and we are so grateful for God's perfect timing.
Gracie's surgery is scheduled for 8:30 am in Charlotte
and is expected to take around 4 1/2 hours.
Please pray for Dr. Matthews as God
guides his hands, for peace for our
family, for her recovery and pain management,
and that we would see God's glory on display!
We will miss her
smile,
the sound of her "cleft speech",
and her slobbery kisses :),
BUT
we can't wait to see the mouth and palate
fashioned by her Creator through a
skilled surgeon, and to hear more actual words
coming out of that sweet mouth!
As she was prayed over @ church the other day,
the comment was made that this is just the
next step of the story that is
"Gracie".
Last year at this time we were consumed
with planning our trip to bring her home,
and we are thrilled that tomorrow has been part
of God's plan for her from the start.
We will post updates as we can!
"Every day of my life was recorded
in Your book .
Every moment was laid out
before a single day has passed."
Psalm 139:16
"Now glory be to God!
By His mighty power at
work within us, He is able
to accomplish infinitely more
than we would ever dare to
ask or hope."
Ephesians 3:20

What an exciting time! May God bless you during this time and give you words to say, as I am sure you will be sharing HIS grace with all those you encounter in the hospital!

Praying for Gracie and will definitely be doing so often tomorrow! I know you will miss that sweet face. ;o) On one hand, it is so scary to see your precious child go into surgery, but on the other hand, it is a pretty amazing feeling knowing you are putting her in the hands of such skilled surgeons that our girls would not have had in Lianjiang. I can't wait to see what unfolds for Gracie and all of you in the next year! I'll be checking in and continuing to pray!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray. I will check in to see what is happening in the next step of Gracies story. Hugs and still praying.
