He Is With You

I don't know how many of you follow MckMama's blog, but I have been following it since before her youngest child was born this winter. Stellan was diagnosed with major heart problems in utero. His doctors assured MckMama that he would not live. However, after thousands of prayer warriors joined the MckMama family in prayer, Stellan was born without a trace of problems with his tiny heart. He was perfect...a normal baby boy. This week, Stellan was taken to the ER for respiratory problems. These problems, along with treatment, led to Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. His heart has been going in and out of SVT ever since. The doctors have been unable to regulate his heart for any length of time. Today, Stellan flipped into V-Tach, which can be deadly...especially in babies. As I think about and pray for this little life, I am in awe of his mother's unwavering faith and peace. You absolutely MUST go over to MckMama's blog and read this story. Add this family to your prayer list for sure!




After downloading the new Mandisa album last night, I have listened to it several times already. My sister-in-law texted me tonight to point out one particular song. She told me that it really puts things into perspective. I'm sure she told me this to encourage me in our infertility journey. However, when I played it while reading the lyrics, I immediately thought of MckMama and Stellan. How amazing to have the faith and know that He is with you no matter the situation! We can ALL relate to this song. Please take a listen and read the words as you do. It's incredible!

He Is With You

There’s a time to live
And a time to die
There’s a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There’s a time for war
And a time for peace
There’s a hand to hold
In the worst of these

He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can’t even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn’t kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby’s gone
And your house is still, and your heart’s a stone
Cryin’ God, what’d You do that for
He is with you

There’s a time for yes
And a time for no
There’s a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There is a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this

He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don’t know you anymore
He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don’t know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you

We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light

He is with you when your kids are grown
When there’s too much space and you feel alone
And you’re worried if you got it right or wrong
Yes He is with you when you’ve given up
On ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you

When nothing else is left
And you take your final breath
He is with you
