Hope you enjoyed the pics from yesterday. Zoe is doing good. The hole where his G-Tube was is healing nicely right now. Hopefully it will completely close of quickly and we won’t have to worry about it anymore. Everyone has been so kind to us the last few months and God has blessed us. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has prayed and believed. Please share in this blessing, God has heard the prayers of His people and as much as this is our blessing I believe that everyone who stood with us has been blessed. There are a couple of events coming up in which people are wanting to help us financially. One is a benifit concert this Saturday at Hazlehurst Church of God with “Fire From The Heart.” These guys do a “homecoming” every year and this year wanted to use that time to help us. The second is a benefit concert in Birmingham, Al at Parkway Christian Fellowship where three bands are coming together to raise money to help our family. I am very honored that people find value in our family and desire to help.
Some people have made some comments about giving so I want to be very clear. As of right now our understanding is that Zoe’s hospital bills are taken care of 100% by insurance. We have nothing in hand to indicate differently. Hazlehurst Church of God where I am employed paid me every week I was gone. My pastor, Alan Kea, has given every day off that I have asked for to help take care of Zoe. We have in no way hurt in taking care of our normal bills. The only financial strain that we have felt is the expense of travel. We travel most weeks at least once to Savannah and back. This is a two hour drive. We go as a family and it is expensive. These trips have very quickly dwendled what money we had set aside. However we have never felt a real strain, because God has provided. We do not know what the future holds for, what he may need and what it might cost. We still believe he will only need what every other child needs. We will be making trips for months to Savannah and will continue to have that cost. I am not asking anyone to give anything to us. I trust God to supply. If someone feels lead to give or help raise money then we will count it as a blessing. Any money above and beyong our extra expenses will be set aside to help Zoe in the future.
I do not want anything to be said that pulls the attention away from Jesus. It is by His hand that we are sustained and I stand now to tell you that He healed Zoe. To God be all the glory, all the praise, all the recognition.
Here is a great article written a few weeks back about Zoe. I hope you enjoy it. It was a great blessing.
