3 days.

The time is so soon.  
As you know Darla Jane will be going into surgery on Tuesday  
We are asking all who would like to, to participate in a fast for Darla Jane on Sunday the 5th, and also for the doctors and nurses assisting her and for her long term recovery.  The surgery itself is a big one and often these little one's bodies have a hard time adjusting to the new blood circulation which is why we ask for prayers for her recovery as well.  

I wanted to take a minute to explain to those who may not know what a fast it, just what it is and how it can bless us.

A quote from the mormon.org website says...
"When we fast and pray with faith, we demonstrate our devotion to God by sacrificing an earthly desire, becoming more humble and open to His divine guidance."
A fast is where we go 24 hours without food and water.  Putting our faith that as we make that sacrifice that we will be blessed by God and have help in answering the prayers we are pouring out to him.  
to quote again from the web site "We pick a specific need or question we have and pray for help while we fast. Moses, David, Esther, Jesus and many others fasted in order to be closer to God and more receptive to His guidance. We find that when we fast and pray with faith we are more humble and more able to feel God's love and understand His will. Fasting also shows that we are willing and able to control the desires of our bodies, which can help us when other trials require that kind of strength."

I know that as we ask for help she will be blessed.  Along with prayers we are taking any good juju, happy dances, healing vibes...what ever you can send our way.


Thank you all so much for the love, support and thoughtful things you have sent.  

We love you all and appreciate, more than you know, the blessing you are in our lives.

We will be doing most of the updates on Darla Jane and her surgery on the blog so check back here through out the week.

Hugs to you all.
