The Beauty of Sufficient Grace: Praying for Stellan

Welcome

If you are new to our site, this blog is sort of a hodge podge of our ministry and family life, and whatever else God lays on my heart to share. The Home Page above will link you to our Sufficient Grace Ministries page. You can read more about the 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and the outreaches of this ministry whose mission is to offer comfort and hope to grieving parents. The Blog button brings you to the page you are currently reading, featuring a variety of subjects...some ministry updates, some family news, and some biblically-based encouragement. The Walking With You page is a place for bereaved parents who have lost a baby or child to find encouragement and hope. It is an online support group created so that families would know they are not walking this path alone. On the Dreams of You Shop page, you can learn more about the products and services we offer, place an order, or sponsor a family. The Encouraging Women blog is a work in progress. There, we hope to offer biblically-based encouragement to all women. The Resource page has been newly updated with a list of resources that are helpful for grieving parents. Our blogroll is also located on this page. Thank you so much for visiting our site. Blessings to you...

Praying for Stellan

Many of you probably already read MckMama's blog. Her little MckMiracle, Baby Stellan, needs our prayers. He experienced heart problems in the womb that doctors said would certainly cause his death. He did not die, though. Sweet Stellan lived and when he was born, doctors said there was no evidence of the heart condition previously diagnosed. His healing was a miracle...and we collectively praised the Lord. Stellan has been thriving at home...a happy, healthy beautiful miracle. Last night, he was taken to the ER with respiratory concerns. He was given albuterol treatments and then his heart rate raised to dangerous levels...just like the levels reached when he was in the womb. He was rushed to Children's Hospital and is now in the PICU. Doctors have tried several medications to lower his heart rate to no avail. Please click here to read updates on Stellan's situation. Please pray for his healing, for peace and comfort for McKMama and Prince Charming...and for their entire family, and for wisdom for the doctors. Please, please, please pray.

If one part (of the body of Christ) suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. ~I Corinthians 12:26
