Join us in Prayer

It’s been 4 months since our first blog post and nearly 9 months from the exciting news that we were pregnant.  How long ago it all seems.  I reflect now upon our first post.  We quoted John 9 and the story of Jesus and the blind man who due to his faith was healed while washing in the Pool of Siloam.  The journey through the last several months has taught us that faith is a decision we must make each day.  We have earnestly prayed for our child every day over the last 9 months and believe more than ever that God “formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. “

There are so many stories in the Bible of Satan trying to make his mark in the world whether it be leading astray the Israelites, bringing destruction on Job, or tempting Jesus in the desert.  What do we know about Satan? He has no dominion over us.  Jesus took our sins and the brokenness of the world upon Him on the cross. “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”  (Psalm 120:7) We believe that we are children of God, new creations, and God wants us to live life to the fullest.

Matthew 9 is full of stories of healing.  Jesus heals a paralytic, a bleeding woman, brings to life a dead girl, restores vision to two blind men, and heals a man unable to speak.  Matthew 9:22 says “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” We have full faith that Jesus has healed this child.  Whether it be through His touch of this child in the womb or through the intervention of our surgical team in Denver we are fully confident that God has taken this child into His hands and by faith is healed.  We ask that all of you join us in prayer for the child and for Stephanie over these next 24 hours.  We will be having a time of prayer at our home tomorrow evening (Tuesday, Dec 11) at 9pm for anyone in Denver able to come.  For those of you not able to come we ask that you continue to lift our family up in prayer.  Stephanie will go into surgery for the delivery Wednesday morning at 9 am MTN so if you have the chance in your day please set apart that time to lift up a prayer.  The baby will most likely have surgery later in the day Wednesday. Please pray for healing for the baby, protection over Stephanie as she undergoes surgery, and wisdom for the surgical staff as they care for both mom and baby. 

We are truly grateful for the family of believers that have come alongside us over the last months and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with all of you this new life. We will update all of you Wednesday with details about the baby so Baby T can have a real name and gender!

God Bless,

Kyle & Steph
