        update to my sister's pregnancy and the baby
 
We just found out the baby has Down's syndrome along with a lot of other really bad deformities- it has no chance of survival. So they are going to have to take the baby and my sister is having a hysterectomy. Please pray for my whole family, especially my sister (Becky). This is really hard for them as they are extremely pro life. I know God has a reason for everything and it is not always for us to see the reason. My biggest comfort is knowing this child will soon be with God in Heaven. Thank you for your continuing support and prayers.

I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE CONDITION OF YOUR SISTER'S BABY. IN 1996 I HAD A SON BORN WITH A BIRTH DEFECT SPINAL BIFADA, WHOM DOCTORS SAID WOULDN'T LIVE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE HOURS, BECAUSE HE HAD NO SKULL BONE, WAS MISSING THE CEREBELUM OF HIS BRAIN, AND BASICALLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BREATH ON HIS OWN. BUT I KNOW HOW GOOD GOD IS, SO WHEN THEY ASKED TO TAKE THE BABY BEFORE TERM I SAID NO. I CARRIED THE BABY FULL TERM AND ON FEB 8, 1996 GAVE NATURAL BIRTH TO A BREACH LITTLE BOY, YEAH HE HAD THESE DIFORMATIES, BUT HE WAS MINE, AND I LOVED HIM NO LESS THAN I LOVE MY 2 YEAR OLD I HAVE NOW. WELL GOD BLESSED ME TO SPEND SIX WEEKS WITH MY SON WHO THEY SAID WOULDN'T LIVE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE HOURS. I SAT AROUND WAITING FOR HIM TO DIE, WHICH IS SAD BUT I BELIEVED WHAT THE DOCTORS SAID, BUT GOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY DOCTOR. THAT SIX WEEKS I NEEDED, YEAH IT TOOK ME YEARS TO GET OVER IT, AND I CAN'T SAY I AM TRULY HEALED TODAY, BUT I NEEDED THAT TIME CARRYING THE BABY AND THE TIME WITH HIM. WITH THAT I PRAY.

LORD, YOU ARE POWERFUL, YOU ARE THE DOCTOR IN A SICK ROOM, LORD I JUST ASK THAT WHILE THIS SAINTS SISTER IS GOING THROUGH THIS ORDEAL THAT YOU BLESS THEM TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS ALREADY ALRIGHT. THAT THEY LOVE THIS BABY, BUT YOUR LOVED IT MORE. LORD BLESS THEM WITH TIME WITH THE BABY, BLESS THEM TO UNDERSTAND, LORD I ASK THAT YOU COMFORT BECKY THE WAY I KNOW ONLY YOU KNOW HOW. LORD I ASK THAT YOU EASE BECKY'S MIND WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE RUNNING THROUGH THEM, I ASK THAT YOU GIVE HER PATIENCE AND THAT YOU HAVE PATIENCE WITH HER. YEAH SHE MAY QUESTION YOU, BUT GIVE HER THE ANSWERS. LORD I PRAY FOR THIS SISTER TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO HELP HER SISTER, AND TO ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOD. LORD THESE THINGS I ASK IN YOUR SON JESUS NAME. AMEN

I have a Three year old daughter, her name is Rachel. I was told that she would have Down's Syndrome and refused the amnio. She is a very healthy, beautiful child. I pray that God sends comfort to you and your family, may He give you strength and understanding.

To God be all the Glory! In [Jeremiah 1:5-8] Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee... Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. God knew the destiny of this unborn baby, yet and still this was done for a purpose. Please continue to walk in faith,hope and continue to trust God for he will deliver all that have been affected by this trial. Father in Heaven, Lord I lift these individuals up to you, asking you to comfort them in their time of sorrow and give them the strength they need to endure, to not lose hope, and to continue to serve you. Lord
I thank you that another angel will be added to you Kingdom in Jesus Name Amen!
