Im sitting here writing my list of things that need to be done this week but I keep drawing a blank because the only thing that is in my head is Emma’s Surgery tomorrow…
We had a great time in Cincinnati!
Cincinnati is the perfect mixture of city life and southern life!
But now it is back to reality and we had to jump into prepping Emma! This process never gets easy. The procedure was orginally scheduled for earlier this month, but due to her being sick it was postponed to the 27th of April. And now that day is here but I still feel like I need more time…
Guess I just have to suck it up, say my prayers and be strong for my little one! She’s a trooper so I have nothing to worry about but the Mom in me is worrying like crazy! I have been praying and I will continue to do so until she comes out of surgery (well I will never stop praying for my baby…but you know what I mean).
I was looking for a picture for this post but I came across this prayer for your baby having surgery, I liked the prayer but I am going to tweak it to fit my needs…
Dear Heavenly Father,
I’ve come to You because Emma is having surgery tomorrow
And simply because I’m scared
We have been through this before and here we are again I come to you asking for protection over her while she is on the operating table. I ask you to touch the doctors, nurses, dentists, anesthesiologist…and anyone else that is in the operating room. I asked You to guide their hands and keep their minds focused…
I also ask for comfort for Darrick and I,
You are my refuge and strength
An ever present help in trouble
You tell me not to fear
You say, “Be still, and know that I am God”
So I will, LORD
I will believe You and trust You
Please take care of our baby
Let the surgery go well
Thank You for the doctors, nurses and staff
And, most of all, God,
Thank You for being with me
For never leaving me
It’s in Jesus’ name I pray
Amen
