Overwhelmed.

Over the past 10 days, we have been completely overwhelmed as our sisters and brothers in Christ have poured out love, encouragement, joy, tears, and prayers for our family. Wes and I, both, have received an abundance of emails, phone calls, letters, text messages, facebook messages and wall posts, and blog comments that have ministered to our faith in a powerful way. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you as a tool to comfort and encourage us during this valley. We are witnessing the gospel played out and played out well on our behalf- and it is glorious!

"Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing."
1 Thessalonians 5:11

This past Sunday, our church had a dedication service for Wesley Adam. We were approached about a week ago, asking if we would be willing to share with our church Wesley Adam's diagnosis, our journey this far, how we are spiritually and emotionally, and how they can be praying for us. The road the Lord has given us to walk is a seemingly overwhelming one. We were comforted as our family, care group, and entire church made the verbal commitment to us that we do not have to make this journey alone.

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." James 5:16

"And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must love his brother."

1 John 4:21

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, ' therefore I will hope in him.' " Lamentations 3:22-24

Thank you our dear brothers and sisters for obeying the Lord's commands. Your obedience comforts us and we are overwhelmed by your love.
