URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Lindsay went into cardiac distress this afternoon and has been taken back to Cardiac ICU. They had to open up her chest and put her own the heart and lung machine. Obviously this has been a very traumatic couple of hours for Laura, Jon, Tanner and Jan. We don't have a clue what the next steps are at this point, but we do trust in our Sovereign God who knows what is happening. I will be keeping the block updated as I have information.

Praying much for all of you. Words seem so empty, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray the Lord will guide the doctors and nurses in all that they do and that Lindsay will respond positively. Praying for the "peace that passes understanding..."

Love,

Susan

To the whole Groen/Welte family - This is a first for me writing on a "blog", but I just have to let you all know my heart is aching so much for all of you and what all of you and your precious little baby are going through. I have been thinking of all of you and lifting you up before the throne of our Lord continually. I'm comforted knowing He is right there with you and I'm praying for continued sustaining grace. Hang onto Him!! He cares and so do we!! Your "Jersey" family, the Jaegers. God bless.

Laura,

I have been talking with God all afternoon...I have also prayed with Greg and Leah. Know that the MOPS Steering Team is also praying for you and your pretty girl. I promise that I will continue to be in prayer for Lindsay and your family. My words too seem empty but know that I love you and I love Lindsay... Remember that our Lord is holding her when you can't...

With a heavy heart,
Carrie

We're praying and praying- and just picturing that cute little girl resting in her bed. We'll be praying for great wisdom for the doctors and nurses this evening- and strength, courage and peace for all of you. We were celebrating the good news at noon- a reminder to continue to pray without ceasing.

Lots of love and prayers-

Matt and Sharon

Please know that even though Manny is no longer physically nearby you in the Boston area, the Mill clan continues to stand alongside you all in prayer for Lindsay -- and everyone else in the Groen/Welte clan.

As Flo taught me to pray scripture, so we've been praying Ps 33: 12-22 for you!
Love, The Mill Family

We are praying for you all. Abigail wants Tanner to know that she is praying that he won't be scared. May you feel unbelievable comfort that only God can give.

Along with so many others, my prayers are being poured out on your behalf. The Groen Family has been informed and Lindsay, you have relatives you don't even know who love you and are flooding God's "voicemail and inbox" on your behalf. Our great God "who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" loves you even more than we do and holds you in His mighty hands. May He give strength and peace to you, Jon, Laura, Tanner and Grandparents.

Praying for you, and thinking of you often, Morgan says she loves you and is praying for Lindsay too, she wants to come over and play with her :) Our SS class is praying for you all, and the CCCA Conference going on this week in Colorado will be praying too. Brian called his boss and he'll be sharing about Lindsay with them. Love you all, Melissa, Brian, Morgan, and Colin

Dear Weltes and Groens,
Our hearts are one with yours and we are praying constantly for your precious little Lindsay. Psalm 103:17 "But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children (that's our grandchildren).
In His Mercy, Glen and Marilyn

Little Lindsay is never far from all of our thoughts and prayers! I'm so glad we serve a powerful God who is in charge of this situation and who loves Lindsay so much! We'll continue to pray for your whole family!
I love you all!

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you. I know what it is like seeing your child, and your sweet grandbaby going through so much. The comforting part is that God knows too...Keep walking in faith and hope. Matt.17:20
We have many prayer warriors crying out on your behalf, here in Tenn.
