little miss isabel update


Yesterday Luke and I took Isabel to see her cardiologist for her 3 year checkup! I wanted to share the report because I know lots of you like to keep up with her little murmer. The little "VSD" in her heart is "tiny" as the doctor says ever
y time. He did a sonogram and she was SOO good. Luke got to lay on a bean bag {which he LOVED} and watch Dora the explorer {which was a total life saver!} The sonogram told us that she definitely still has the little hole in her precious heart, but that every other thing about her heart is absolutely perfect! Because she was so good during the sonogram they were able to do a full check on everything he wanted to see and she passed each one perfectly! It was so sweet because I could tell she was scared with all the monitors on her chest, but she just held my hands and kept saying my name, and I would tell her..."mommy's here" "mommy's here sweet girl" and it would comfort her...then a few minutes later she'd say my name again, and I would continue to comfort her and just tell her i'm there. And it reminded me so much of how much comfort WE can gain by just saying the name of Jesus aloud. When we say his name and proclaim His word, he is there and he comforts us in time of need. WOW! Does anyone else learn lessons from your children EVERY DAY?!
I believe GOd designed that very nature of a child to teach us!!!!!
Each time we take her to the cardiologist, I come home and just have such a heavy heart of thankfulness to God for her healthy report. The heart is SUCH an amazing organ.
Well, I am thankful tonight for my little girl and her happy little heart : )

Ok, I am thankful tonight for my two little happy hearts !!

I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
