Today John has been listed for a new heart for one month. Since we never know when John’s heart will become available, we are counting up instead of down.
This past month has had it’s ups and downs; however, this past week God has been so faithful in answering our prayers. John has worked every day. His days have been exhausting, and he has come home each night and literally crashed. His nights have been o.k. He does get up at least once each night because he’s having trouble breathing.
However, I’ve noticed a renewed peace and sense of patience in our home and with John over this week. We haven’t been as desperate and are taking each day more with stride. We have been more faithful in praying together at all times during the day. One day John sent me an email telling me that he needed prayer to get through the last two hours of the day. I immediately went to my knees. I know that God is hearing us, and we are so blessed that He loves us that much.
We are still very conscious of this time God is using to work in the lives of John’s heart donor and his family. We continue to pray for their salvation, their relationships with one another, and their relationship with God. We ask God to love and comfort them right now. Each day that God uses is for His ultimate purposes, and we are so blessed by that. We can’t wait to thank John’s donor in Heaven one day.
So here we are. The story continues to unfold. The opportunity continues to grow sweeter. And we continue to be blessed beyond any words or any imagination.
