My friends, Brenda and KT, are two of the most amazing servant’s of the Lord I have ever known. I have known them for several years, and I have to say, I am blessed to have them as friends! Right now, they need huge agreement in prayer.
Brenda is 16 weeks pregnant, and science tells her that the baby will not make it. They are diagnosing her with multiple complications, BUT GOD says that with Him all things are possible! Please come into agreement with me in prayer that God’s healing hand will be on this precious gift.
Here is a summary of it all in Brenda’s words:
“I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first child.
The doctor still thinks the baby has a chromosomal defect. Since the baby is
much bigger now, things are easier to see, so he thinks he knows what
defect it is. It’s called Turner’s Syndrome. It’s a defect that only affects girls. Turner’s is something that you can live with. It doesn’t cause any mental disabilities, just a few physical ones. The biggest downside is
that girls with Turners can not have children.
If our little girl had just Turner’s, that would not be so bad. She would
have a 2% change of making it. However, there are some other things that
often come along with Turner’s. There is fluid in the lungs, legs, behind
the neck (cystic hygroma), and most every where else in the body. Also,
there is a heart defect, with the aorta. When babies have all of this
combined, there is a 100% chance of the pregnancy terminating by week
20-22.
So, as you can see, unless God does a miracle, our little girl won’t be
with us too much longer. Unfortunately, most people with this problem
(which is actually a lot), terminate their pregnancies by now. Still, we
believe that it is God’s decision to decide when this baby is going to be
with Him, not ours.
It is so much harder now, because we know the sex. It’s not just a baby,
it’s our little girl. I know that God’s ways are not ours and He has a
reason for everything. Already He has opened doors with friends and
family, to share the gospel. He is already using this situation for His
glory.
As I was praying yesterday, I realized something. If God does decied to
take this little girl, and one person comes to know Jesus because of it,
then I know she won’t die for nothing. God knows best how to get glory in
this. If it’s through a miracle or grief.
I have my hard days, but my good outnumber the bad. Please continue to
pray for a miracle and for our strength. We know nothing is too hard for God,
NOTHING! “
Thank you for your prayers. I will keep you updated!
Please post your prayers on this site to encourage Brenda and KT!
