How We're Doing

We've kept this close since the beginning—except for family and our closest friends. Mainly, because we don't know why this has happened. We still don't have answers for the questions people have.

But now that news of our Little Guy's illness is leaking out, many of you have asked how we’re doing (including Madelyn). 

The short answer is we’re good. No, seriously. We're good.

Our faith is stronger than ever. We really and truly believe God is going to work a miracle. We have so much hope in Him. We’ve made it a practice to call out who He is—out loud, at random—around each other.

He’s good.

He’s faithful.

He’s sovereign.

He’s for us.

He’s merciful.

He's in control.

We're anchoring all we know and believe on who He says He is and what He says He can do.

God taught Nathan and I both some serious spiritual lessons as single people before we ever even met each other 3 years ago. It's no coincidence that we learned what we did then, because we're applying them today. (I'll share more of this later.)

And Madelyn? She’s such a joy in the midst of such a heavy time. 

She’s so innocent and unassuming. She has no clue about the gravity of the situation. But she’s pure happiness wrapped up in a tiny little body. She’s made us laugh at just the right times. We love her so deeply. We’re so grateful for her on so many levels. We're holding her tight.

That being said, we’ve had some incredible people step up and offer to watch her so we can go to appointments that are so far away. Some of our good friends here in Columbus took her in yesterday ALL DAY. 

She had THE BEST time. They loved her and fed her and played with her. Thankfully, I don’t think she destroyed too many things at their house (or at least they didn’t mention it). 

We’re beyond grateful for how they ministered to us and how others have offered to do the same. This is what the body of Christ in action looks like. We couldn't do this without the amazing community of believers rallying around us.
