Home at last

Great news. Will is now home for keeps. And he seems to be sleeping through the night without much problem (or at least he's not waking up loudly enough to wake Dad from his slumber). Its just amazing to remove the hospital routine, and to have a baby that can be stuck in a pram or a car seat and taken places. Jules was able to take the kids to gymanstics (although Will did sleep through it entirely - lazy little fella), and we were both able to go to our care group (Bible study) - Will included. So life is back to normal for us (although of course somewhat different given we've now 3 kids to deal with). We have truly had an amazing experience over the past 6 weeks. A lesson to trust in God, and a lesson that God's plans and our plans may not be in line. Last night at care group we read John 14. In John 14:1 Jesus says "Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in God; trust also in me" (Colin Buchanan fans are fogiven for trying to sing this bit). This was said in the leadup to Jesus death (for us) on a cross. The listeners at that time had absolutely no idea how Jesus being captured and crucified could be for good (put yourself in their shoes for a minute) - yet it turned out to be the most amazing sacrifice of all time and the reason we can all have confidence in our salvation. A terrible event being in line with (and in fact totally required for) God's plan. So the lesson, Trust in God; Trust also in Jesus. REGARDLESS of the circumstance. God's plans are much bigger than ours. Sometimes we cannot understand them, but that doesn't make them wrong - that just means we need to trust that God has our best interest in mind. Thankfully God's plan has been to give us Will back. Not sure if there will be any further updates on the blog. Perhaps a few pictures. Now that Will is home, please thank God for his kindness. As you know we have also been asking you to pray for Isaac. Please continue to do this as he has a much longer road to travel than it turned out will did. His site is www.soniaandjong.blogspot.com Further, another very good friend of ours (Esther) is about to have a baby who has CDH - due 5th July. His name will be Toby, and they have also setup a blog. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you prayed for them also. http://baby-toby.blogspot.com Thank you all again for your wonderful support. A fantastic picture to us of what heaven will be like.
