It's in Gods Hands

This past Wednesday May 5th, we had a family fast. As a parent there becomes a burden that digs at our heart, wondering have we done all that we can, should we stop as the doctors have suggested, or should we try to find other options. Since this all began, we have been overwhelmed with others suggestions (some I have appreciated) but others that have made us wonder if we have fallen short. With these haunting emotions we decided to seek our answers in our Temple. Whenever I need answers, or need to feel Gods comfort and Love, I go to His Temple. We specifically went to know what
Gods will is. So we considered three options 1) to continue on with our doctors and try another drug. 2) To check out some other cancer clinics that are more holistic, 3) to stop the drugs and turn her over to God. We told our children to all pray at 7:00 during the time we were to pray. After an hour and half of Kent and I praying and talking together, we knew without a doubt that it is time to stop the chemo, and put our daughter Natalee into Gods hands. This has been the hardest burden we have ever had to make, but we know that this is Gods will. and feel peace in our decision.
God is the architect and we trust in his will and his mighty power. With all the hardships and pain that Natalee is going through, it is time for our little girls to be free from cancer. Natalee has gone down hill rapidly. She has no strength to walk, it is very difficult to get her to eat and has lost a lot of weight. But as miserable as she is, she still has it in her to make us laugh. The doctor and social worker at Emanuel both made a comment that Natalee has stood out more than any other kid with how well she handles her hardships. That she has never complained, they said that if there was a word to best describe her, it is that she has grace. That is true.
The doctor also told me that she has shared Natalee's case with many doctors and have shown them her scans, and all of them were amazed that she wasn't taking pain medications until this past month. They felt she should have been taking it all along. I am so grateful for your prayers for Natalee, I believe it has empowered Gods grace and tender mercies to carry her through this difficult time.
