FROM JIM AND JILL KELLY:
If you follow our daughter, Erin and her husband, Parker, you saw this beautiful picture and now know our grandson’s name…BEAU HUNTER BEAN. Although he will always be “Little Bean” to us.
From his first breath, Beau’s precious heart has needed healing. And from his very first moment on earth, he’s been teaching us more about God’s heart than we could have ever imagined.
Today’s UPDATE:
At 5:30am yesterday, the heart medication he’s been on was stopped. So now, we wait to see how his heart responds. So far it has been a lot of ups and downs, which is hard. But, he’s still off the medication and oxygen.
THANK GOD!
WHILE WE WAIT:
We thought we knew what that meant before, but this is different. It’s the kind that breaks you. The kind where hours feel like days, and prayers seem empty. The kind that forces you to face every fear, every doubt, every “what if.”
We have questioned. We have cried out, “Lord, where are You?”
And yet… Through your prayers, the ones you’ve whispered in the middle of the night, the ones you’ve prayed without even knowing our full story…our faith has been carried.
You’ve helped us to keep holding on.
And even in our weakness, Jesus is our strength. Even when we don’t see Him move, He is still making a way. Even when we don’t understand, He is still working it all together for good.
We are still in the hospital. We don’t know for how long. But in the not-knowing, we choose to believe that our waiting is not wasted. That God is doing things we cannot yet see. That He is healing and providing a way.
So we wait.
For more healing.
For more of what we need most, Jesus!
For more of our hearts surrendered to the One who holds Beau and us in His hands.
Please keep praying for our brave, strong grandson Beau Hunter Bean. ❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope.
Psalm 130:5
