We never really thought about blogging anything until recently. Sure, there's some blogs that we like to follow, and we can be downright entertaining at times, but it all seemed a little daunting, to be honest. That is, until we realized that we had a current and present reason for it. With our little love's third open heart surgery on the near-horizon, we thought this would be the best and easiest way to update anyone who would be interested in her surgery and recovery process. It's also a place for us to ask prayer for her (and for us), for specific things she'll need along the way. I know there's a lot of prayer warriors out there...so if you know some, please share our blog. Share, share, share.
Why "Heart, Hope, and a Future" you ask? It's simple. It's because the whole inspiration for this blog began with my sweetie's physical heart, and in the process of writing posts about her surgery and recovery status, we'll be sharing our hearts (mostly me), to give you a glimpse of what this world looks like to anyone who doesn't know, and to maybe reach out to someone who knows this world already, so they know that there's hope in our Lord.
The "Hope and a Future" come straight from His word in Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"(ESV). He knows His plan, even though we probably don't. BUT, our hope is in Him, and He is the one who holds the future. In an experience where it seems as though we are completely helpless, where our hands are "tied," our only peace comes from knowing that He is in control.
He is the rock.
He has complete sovereignty.
He holds her precious, partially-repaired, partially-functioning heart in His hands. Come what may.
And for that, we are thankful.
