Several minutes ago Kira's heart began to beat in an abnormal way (v-tach). Although this means that Kira's heart cannot sustain this rhythm for prolonged time, her parents and family remain committed to placing this process in a God's hands who would receive her with joy into His very arms in heaven, or may choose to miraculously allow her continued meaningful life here. Please continue to pray for Kira and her family as they continue this journey. Tim, Renita, and Ana for the Yutzys

ReplyDeletePraying for you Merlin and Mary Lou and daughters! I remember this child being in your womb at the time of Evelyn's bridal shower. She is beautiful. My heart aches for you!! December a year ago something almost identical to this happened to a little 6 yr old friend of ours. We feel the ache again.

Thinking of you, praying for you, as always. Marlea, Jesus is carrying you and Kira in His arms right up close to His heart. Nothing will make Him stop loving you and caring for you. Kira, I love you, too, beautiful girl.

ReplyDeleteDearest Merlin and Mary Lou,
ReplyDeleteIt just seems like yesterday that we were looking out our cottage window and watching the girls build snowmen and watching the joy Kira had when we shared our birthday balloons. We are so sorry that your sweet little angel is so sick. We are praying and I just called my parents and friends (that surprised us on my birthday) we are all praying for your whole family. Our love to you

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
ReplyDeleteThe Lord is my shepherd...that's Relationship
I shall not want...that's Supply
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures...that's Refreshment
He restoreth my soul...that's Healing
He leadeth me in the paths of righeousness...that's Guidance
For His name's sake...that's Purpose
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...that's Testing
I will fear no evil...that's Protection
For Thou art with me...that's Faithfulness
Thy rod and staff they comfort me...that's Discipline
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies...that's Hope
Thous anointest my head with oil...that's Consecration
My cup runneth over...that's Abundance
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...that's Blessing
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord...that's Security
FOREVER...that's ETERNITY !!!!!
We are praying for you!!
Mel & Jean Zook

Merlin and Mary Lou,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and praying for you all day! My heart hurts for you. Praying for wisdom for the doctors and for you, praying for a continued peace and comfort especially through the night.
Heard this song being sung yesterday and thought of you...
1. All the way my Savior leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
2. All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
3. All the way my Savior leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
Our hearts can almost feel your pain! What ablessing to have a God in a time like this . Our prayers are God will supply grace for each step of this path. We love ya . Prayers Steve and Sara
ReplyDeleteGod loves you and so do we...
