Praying for Eli...

A little one from our church is in the midst of condition called HUS. He is in Children's Hospital in Minneapolis right now. Our church, along with all of their family and friends from across this country are in constant prayer right now that this battle will be quickly won - and that he will get to come home soon.

I just thought I would share the link to a website that they have set up to keep us all posted; but I also wanted to pass along a passage from a recent journal entry that his parents entered. They have personally blown me away with their strength and faith throughout this ordeal.

"As we enter into day day 18 of this long battle the following verse jumped out to me tonight.Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

This has been a very long and exhausting time for our little Eli and our family as a whole. We appreciate your comments, thoughts and prayers. God's love is flowing through all of you. "

If you want to read more from them and learn more about what is going on with little Eli you can check out this website they have set up.
