In our weakness, He is strong

Family is such a wonderful blessing. The other night after Tom put Sydney to bed, he heard her in her room begin to pray on her own. It started with some random things but moved quickly to specifics.
"Thank you for hands." She bagan to clap and said, "Thank you for clapping." Then began the list; "Thank you for mommy. Thank you for Thomas. Thank you for owies. Thank you for Cassell's (a family in our small group at church). Thank you for Kenzie. Thank you for Daddy. Thank you for Connie (worker at church). Thank you for outside. Thank you for Grant. Thank you for playing. Thank you for Daddy (Tom insists that she said it twice). Thank you for toys. Thank you for Wiggles. Thank you for bubbles. Thank you for bed. Thank you for...(some names Tom couldn't make out. She concluded her prayer with some gibberish and said, "That's all."
She made us realize that our little 2 year old loves the Lord and is thankful for all He has done for her. Something we all need to remember. Even the owies, we need to be thankful for.
Some of you already know but yesterday at Thomas Jr.'s doctor's appointment, we were given some bad news. The doctor believes that Thomas has a heart murmur and a problem with his stomach. He said that both issues could likely require 2 separate surgeries and has referred us to specialists at Loma Linda for further testing. We're getting a second opinion tomorrow and next week we'll be taking him to a pediatric cardiologist to see what's going on. We would appreciate your prayers during this time. God is great and has given us such a peace that everything is going to be fine. We are praying that he was misdiagnosed. We already have a HUGE praise that our health insurance has been extended 60 more days so we don't have to worry about that.
We praise God that He has used this situation already for His glory!!!!
