The time is here...


The date is set.  One week from today we will have met our little angel.  Today we had our last appointment with Dr. Adam before we will deliver our precious son.  Today when Dr. Adam looked at Joshua’s measurements and my fluid she said, “When would you like to have your baby?  It is time.”  She told us she thinks the time is now and that we need to begin closer monitoring of Joshua until his birth.  So the plan is that I will go in for monitoring at St. Luke’s tomorrow morning, Friday morning and Monday morning.  If they feel good enough to send us home each time then the c-section is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27th at 9:30am.  Tuesday, March 27th. I can’t express how hard it was to choose Joshua’s birthday.   God is in control and we have peace in knowing that His will is perfect, but knowing the date God may call your child home is just unbearable.  Please pray for Joshua.

Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
John 12:24

O Blessed Trinity,
We thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II
And for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care,
the glory of the cross of Christ,
and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, to shine through him.
Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy
And in the maternal intercession of Mary,
he has giving us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd,
and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with you.
Grant us, by his intercession, and according to Your will,
the graces we implore (the complete healing of Joshua Lawrence),
hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints.  Amen

Blessed Pope John Paul II pray for Joshua
Saint Jude pray for Joshua
Saint Gianna pray for Joshua
Saint Gerard pray for Joshua
Saint Lawrence pray for Joshua
Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for Joshua
Saint Joseph pray for Joshua
Saint Anthony pray for Joshua

  1. Sarah Beth is at the hospital having Joshua monitored. He is not doing well and they just told her he will be delivered this afternoon. Please pray for this sweet family...for God to do immeasurably more than we can ask ask or even imagine...that His love and peace will surround them and comfort them....that He will continue to breathe life into Joshua...and that God continue to be glorified through Joshua. Thank for for praying...
