Gracie's big day tomorrow!

yesterday was gracie's pre-op appointment

and we got the green light for surgery tomorrow!

We'll be heading down that road to Charlotte

again this afternoon.

I swear, I could make that drive

with my eyes closed!

the goal is to completely close her lip,

and close the cleft uvula in the back of her throat.

the most extensive aspect of her procedure

will be the work being done on the 

inside and outside of her nose.

we're told the recovery from this will 

not be a pleasant process for our sweet girl.

Gracie was prayed over at church

on Monday evening, and it was a beautiful

time of peace and wonderful words

spoken over her.

peace

faith

healing

ministering angels to surround her

God as her Warrior

last night as I was asking the Father 

how I could pray specifically for her,

I sensed Him say

"What is her favorite song?"

she loves "Crash this Place".

it talks about the glory of God

 crashing or invading where you are.

Brian's and my prayer is that the glory of God

would crash and invade 

our home,

the pre-op room,

the waiting room,

the operating room,

the recovery room,

and her hospital room.

Psalm 90:16

"Let us see Your miracles again;

let our children see Your glory at work."

would you please join us in prayer as well?

for peace, for Dr. Matthews, and for

Gracie's healing.

before any of her procedures in 2008.

is she not pure sweetness?!

this may not make sense,

but we're going to miss this smile!

I know this completion of her surgeries is

part of the hope and future God has for her,

and we are so grateful for how the Father

has faithfully walked with us through

every step so far.

He is good.
