Looking forward


Over the past weeks, for the first time, I've been the recipient of angel touches. So many have sent us cards, called, sent us messages through Facebook and lifted up prayers on our behalf. I felt each and every touch and thank God for each of you. You all prayed during tests, prayed over us in Sunday School, and got up during your sleep because you felt we needed prayer.

God has put so many Angels in our path. I look back now and see Gods hand at work for many years for just this time. My sweet neighbor of 10 years, Carolyn, who is a pediatric nurse-since Grayson's birth I called with so many questions. How precious you are, you've suspected CF for some time, but quietly petitioned God before we knew of the diagnosis, for a miracle. You yourself have lived this CF journey not
once, but 3 times with your children. How I admire your strength and courage and pray that I can follow in your shadow.

Another Angel too God created- Grayson's Mommy, Beth. Beth is a graduate of UNCC with a degree in teaching Special Needs Children. I have never seen or known of anyone that has more passion for these children than Beth does. Her patience, love, understanding and abilities are God given and God driven. More than meeting the physical needs of these children, Beth desires to minister to their spiritual needs. She knows how to relate to these children in a way that only God can give to someone, it's what we call a spiritual gift. There's no better person on this earth that we could have possibly chosen to be Grayson's mommy, than Beth. What a blessed child he is and what better people we are to have her in our lives. I love you sweet daughter.

God has been so good and prayers have been answered. Grayson has a team of medical professionals that will journey with us throughout his life to see that he gets the very best care. Just to name a few-Dr. Black, who is on the board for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a CF nurse who is available 24/7, a dietician, a lung therapist, and a social worker who is an advocate for Grayson is so many areas.

We are encouraged knowing that so much us being done to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Jeremiah 29:11~"For I know the plan I have for you, "declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
