A new couple that Brian and I have gotten to know are some of our high school youth workers, Dusty & Kenzie. They are a PRECIOUS couple with an adoreable little boy, Deacon, who is 2. They are expecting their 2nd baby boy, Maddox, in February. They found out when Kenzie was 18 weeks along, that Maddox has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18 as well as Spina Bifida. The medical professionals have labeled children with Trisomy 18, "incompatible with life". There is only a small percentage of babies who even make it full term, those that are born are considered "long-term survivors" if they make it to their 1st birthday.Please join with me in lifting this precious baby boy and the Stanfield's up to our Heavenly Father as they are going through this journey in their life. I am just praying that the Lord would grant them a "medical miracle" in the life of baby Maddox.
It has been such a joy getting to know them since coming to Second Baptist. Kenzie has a blog, http://thestanfieldjourney.blogspot.com/, her link is in linked in "Blogs I read"...
This past Sunday, Dr. Young used this verse out of the book of Isaiah in his message,
"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65:24.
What a perfect reminder that our Lord is faithful to hear us when we call on Him. That he hears us even while we are still speaking... I pray that you find Him Faithful in your life today...

Jennifer- I actually read her blog through another blog called Poppy Joy- an infant who just passed of Trisomy 18. My heart goes out to this family, and my prayers go out to them also. Isn't it a small world when you think about it?
