the artist shall remain nameless but i’ll give you a clue: his first name rhymes with Brian and his last name rhymes with Inner-granola.

My heart has been gripped to pray for the people in the title of this blog. The link to their blog is in my blogroll (labeled ‘pray for them’). As you’ll see, it’s written by the husband of a woman who has Cystic Fibrosis, which apparently is a disease of the lungs. She was about to get a double-lung transplant when they found out that they were pregnant with baby Gwyneth, so they decided to proceed with the VERY high risk pregnancy and postpone the transplant until it was absolutely necessary. They are firm believers in God and have an amazing story. Please visit the blog and let your heart be encouraged to pray for this beautiful family. I don’t know them personally, but I feel like I do because of the intercession I’ve been pulled into these past few days.

Life is really an amazing thing, and I know this isn’t news to any of you. But this amazing little Gwyneth only exists because God is the giver of life and ALL good things, and if you dont know this already, a baby is a VERY good thing. I am proud to even be associated with any mom who decides that the Lord knows best and that when He gives you life in your womb, you regard it as a blessing and a privelage. Abortion and many forms of birth control have resulted in a holocaust of babies in this nation and the world (50 million +!). So to all of you mothers, I bless you in the name of Jesus, and I thank you for being a life-giver.

I dont’ want to neglect to say that Nate, the husband of Tricia, needs pray as well. His heart seems to be doing suprisingly well considering the circumstances, but we can’t underestimate how hard this situation must be. I don’t even think he’s been able to hold his new little baby girl! My heart hurts to think about that. Thanks for listening, and do pray for them when you think of it. Or better yet, read the blog and add them to your list.
