To a friend

I will most likely be sending my friend a link to this in an email, but at the current time I am not sure how they would take the things I have to say here, so as I am bursting to say them, I will let you all in so they can be heard:

I felt your panic last night and today as you waited at the children's hospital with your barely several day old child. Ambulance rides, ERs, MRIs, blood draws, and doctor's without answers. I have been there, and I empathize with what you are going through, while not having been in the exact same spot. As you are undoubtedly worry about your daughter's life I have this to offer: God knows. That's not supposed to make it all go away, or somehow be "fine", no, it's designed to remind you to cling firmly to each other during this time, and seek God together. Seek Him for Peace, ask Him why, and pray for your daughter. You have this little girl you are tasked with protecting here on earth, she's fresh and new and already you are worried about issues and problems. Pray for peace and maybe not now, but in a few days take some time to stop, take a breath and look back to now. Remember God's peace, His provision, the family he brought around you, the rest and strength He supplied. It might or might not be a long road through something, but this is the start of a new life and God is calling you out, right away, as parents to seek Him in your little girl's life.

I think that is exciting, and I will be praying that God will help give you what you need to make that happen.
