Sunday Night Update

God blessed Laura with a wonderful Mother's Day. Lindsay's eyes were open several times during the day!!! That was the greatest gift she could have been given.

Lindsay's blood sugars are back in the normal range! Praise the Lord. Her nurse Ann Marie asked that we specifically pray for her to urinate tonight. Last night we asked for output and not only did she urinate well ... well their were many messy diapers. The good news is that helped with the swelling in the stomach and showed that other parts of her body are working! You go ... Lindsay.

Tomorrow a family meeting has been scheduled with all the doctors. Pray that God will lead and guide the team. We are grateful the Lord gave Lindsay another day!

Have a good night.

Many times God's blessings are clouded by what we see as adversity. These times are things we would never volunteer for but they are also the times that we discovered how all things do work together for good, that He can do exceedingly abundantly more than we can think or ask and finally that nothing can ever seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.

Praise God for a special Mother's Day.

Love
Allen & Marilyn

Praise God for a good Mother's Day, and for all kinds of " output". May you all rest peacefully in the arms of the Almighty tonight! Goodnight sweet Lindsay. Show us some more miracles tomorrow. God is amazing.

Thank you God for letting her see her mom. You are always there with all of us. Please heal little Lindsay and let her and her family look back at this time and be grateful for your blessings. For without suffering we would not know about your comfort and love. Thank you for this wonderful family and all of those who are praying for her. In your name Jesus I pray.

Please know that we are praying all the way from Texas with Lindsay in our hearts. As a mother, I want Laura to know that I am holding her especially up today. May God keep your sweet family in the center of His will. In Christ, Lynn.

So happy to hear that Laura was given a blessed Mother's Day. Oh to see her baby's eyes must have been so wonderful to her. God is good all the time...especially through the trials.

Lord, please continue to hold this family in your comforting arms. Please be with them today as they meet with the doctors. Give everyone wisdom and understanding. Please put your healing hands on Lindsay. You are the great physician, Lord. Help her little body, Lord. We thank you for little miracles like opening her eyes and great output. We look forward to see you work through this little angel. Thank you for how you love the Groen family...and...all of us. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen!

The Lord's ways are not our ways and somehow He has counted you worthy to shine His light in these difficult circumstances. I know that when I look at the biblical record those whom God considered upright and holy people were often put through the severest trial to build them up and to use them. I know that we at times would rather let God pick on someone else but He has counted you worthy and that is awesome. We were blessed yesterday to read all the blogs and again the LORD gets the glory. You guys inspire us to and challenge us. We love you and are praying for great wisdom and strength for your meeting today with the medical team. We are also praying for complete healing for Lindsay. We love you all,
Doug, Ellen and Gabie

Jon and Laura~
In my devotions this morning I was given a great verse... Mark 9:23
"Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
It talked about faith and waiting on God. Sometimes he makes us pass through many stages before the "victory of faith". When your answer of prayer hasn't come, you are to keep on believing HIS WORD! So as I am, KEEP TRUSTING HIM!!
I pray that today is another great day! Tell Lindsay we love her and kiss her for us!
Love,
~Julie

Dear Laura and Jan:
I am so glad that you had a good Mother's Day. Jan, that poem of Mom's still makes we weep, but I know that she is in heaven talking right to her heavenly Father for Lindsay.
Laura I know that you had always said that you hoped some day to have the strong faith of your Nan and you do. You are such a blessing and your strength has given strength to all of us. You are a great Mom and I love you very much.
Love to Lindsay bear, Jon, Tanner and Jan too.
Aunt Jeanne
