(it's Whitney again)
The emotions my family is experiencing right now are so strange. I cant even try to explain it, but we all feel like zombie's with our hearts exploding inside. And then, when we open our eyes and look around...the love that has poured out for Kacey & Dustin is beautiful! She has a window seal lined with flowers, the smell of them line her doorframe as you enter! Phone calls, and text messages to No End! Prayers that are felt by all of us and the prayers are working...Thank you!!
Roman is active, I saw him bouncing her tummy up and down tonight! Roman means: Strong & Powerful and he is just that! Kacey's Dr. will visit them tomorrow and measure her cervix to see if it has shortened and almost all of the lab work should be back. We may know more after his visit, about when she may be able to do bedrest at home or if she gets to stay there.
I'm so proud of the Rock Dustin is being in His role as Daddy & Husband and to see my sister in her role as a Beautiful Mother, who God is very much at work in and all around her. This is SOME STORY! He is the Creator of all things and the Father of all of us. He knows our pain and He knows our joy.
I read Romans chapter 8 tonight and wish I could type the whole thing, please read it when you are done here. I loved the second half, 8:18-39
but here's a bit for you: Romans 8:28 says "And we know that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love him."
We do Praise you in this storm, Jesus!!

My heart pours out to you and your family. My family and I will continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and fill you with as much peace as possible during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteLove Hay Hay
Thank you for the beautiful posts and updates. I am thinking of your family every day and praying for strength for all of you!
ReplyDeleteKacey, you probably don't even remember me :), but I have been keeping up with your amazing story and journey through friends and I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through right now. But I am praying for you and for Roman, that he will be a strong and healthy baby boy! Reading your blog is truly inspiring and I admire you and your whole family for the strength and faith you have. I have my entire Sunday School class in San Antonio lifting you and that baby boy up in prayer! Thank you for being a beautiful example of what it means to give God your heart and soul and allow him to consume you from the inside out (love that song!) :) - Jill Laman Peavy
ReplyDeleteWhitney, thank you for texting so I would know what Kacey and Dustin are going thru. I am SO sorry for the loss they have endured. I know they must be heartbroken, as you all must be. I promise to pray without ceasing for this precious baby and for your family. I will pray for peace and comfort for you all. Give sweet Kacey a HUGE hug for me and tell her that we are praying and that I love her. Love you too girl and will look forward to the next update. Also, you are SO right, God is holding you all in his and He has plans only to prosper us, never to harm us!! Love and prayers, Erin Norris
ReplyDeleteI haven't stopped by here in a while but I gather she is in the hospital on bedrest. I was on complete bedrest w/ my last 2 babies...one of them for 3 months. I will pray for her & keep reminding her...this too shall pass...and yes...God is ALWAYS there! {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteThis song was sung at our church on Sunday and it has been on my heart and mind so much this week as I think and pray for you. I am sure you have probably heard it, but if you want to hear/see the song video in it's entirety you can go to www.artists.letssingit.com and search "You Never Let Go" by Matt Redman. Here is the verse/chorus that keeps coming to my mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can see the light that is coming for the heart that holds, and there will be an end to these troubles but until that day comes...still I will praise you, still I will praise you.
Oh no, you never let go, through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, you never let go in every high and every low
Oh Lord, you never let go, Lord you never let go of me.
I will be praying for you to feel His peace, protection and love.
