The Long Sleepless Night is Over

Good morning!

I thought I would write to let you all know Mackenzie, Michael, and Mariana survived their all-nighter!

Mackenzie did have her EEG yesterday. Since Mackenzie seems to have a gift for explaining her medical procedures, I will let her give you the details later. I just wanted to let you know we will receive the results of this test at her follow up visit on June 10.

We still do not have any concrete information from NY. We are trusting the Lord for His timing. Seems His plan for us right now is to wait. . .

I was thinking about how we as humans HATE to wait. We turn times of waiting into times of worry or times of trying to figure out how to manipulate the outcome, somehow making what we are waiting for come more quickly. I don't think this is how we are supposed to wait.

A friend of ours, who is also waiting for her surgery in NY, sent me the following words from Chuck Swindoll:

The hand of God holds you firmly in His control.
The hand of God casts a shadow of the cross across your life.
Sit down at the foot of that cross and deliberately submit your soul to His mighty hand.
Accept His discipline.
Acknowledge His deliverance.
Ask for His discernment.
Then be quiet. Be still. Wait.
And move over so I can sit beside you.
I'm waiting, too.
It does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. Romans 9:16

So, for now, we will try to be quiet and still and wait. Thanks for waiting with us!

Love,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Just wanted you to know we are still praying. Paul & I try to lift all of you up daily. We are the ones that receive a blessing reading Makenzie's blog. She is a wonderful young lady. My church is praying for her daily as well. One of the elders told me last Thursday that after he read all her blog, he was certain she was one special young lady and in God's hands. We love you guys!
