We have had some ups and downs over the last few days. But the Lord has continually reminded us to persevere and to trust Him at all times. Our Morgan, full of life and vim and vigor has been ailing...symptoms that seemed random for over a month finally culminated in knee-buckling abdominal pain on Friday. This sent us directly to the pediatrician, who began us on a series of Xrays, CAT scans and nuclear medicine tests, in an effort to determine what the strange looking shape they found in his small intestine was. And the Body of Christ prayed with us fervently as we were prepared to face major abdominal surgery within hours, or a day or two at the most.
BUT....and I love the "buts" that only the Lord can bring about...our Great Physician intervened, and the suspicious shape we saw on Friday past has been completely erased. Our boy, whose middle name should be Passionate, has resumed his energetic state, with no pain whatsoever. The doctors are curious, and a little bit trying to back-pedal...but it was clear from the severity and sheer number of difficult tests they put our joyful one through that there HAD BEEN something significant, and now there is no longer. We know the Answer. Now we need to tell those who don't.
In other news, my Macbook Pro complete with my new toy, LogicPro Express software, is en route to my house as we speak! I can't even describe the excitement I feel, knowing that the Lord has pointedly directed me to orchestrate the music He has been filling me with. That software will open up huge avenues for me to express to others what He has expressed to me, beginning to make it possible for me to fulfill one of the mandates He has burdened me with: to give others words of worship and adoration to express directly back to Him. I pray that He will be ever-near as the beast of pent-up creativity is unleashed! :)
And He is still calling me closer. I know that He is stirring my heart more and more for the lost, and I feel Him whispering to me about Missions...He is steering me towards a possible overseas trip this year, and I'm growing with anticipation about that. He is so good!
I have not been this ecstatic in a long time! He is so worthy of honor, glory and praise!

Elizabeth, you don't know me but I read your blog once in a while (hope you don't mind). I had to comment today and just tell you how encouraged and blessed I always am (especially today) to hear of the Lord's faithfulnees to you and your family, and of how He continues to pour out His love over and into and out through you. Thank you for sharing your heart in this way and I am so happy that your little boy is okay. God is good.
WOOT WOOT!! So glad that my little Morgan is okay!!! I had no idea all of this was happening. Praise God that the spot has been erased!
I can't wait to see the pent up beast of creativity unleased!!! I'm getting excited just hearing you talk about it!
And Missions...what can I say? Too many words jumbled in my brain to express the excitement this brings me! I've seen this in you for a long time and am so thrilled that you are venturing out to see where God would take you. I can't wait to see you go through this process and all that it brings.
You've been in my thoughts so much this week. I've found myself lost in prayer over you. I'm so thankful for who you are and those years we had together in Sussex!Love you friend....

Hey Elizabeth, We're so glad to hear that Morgan was healed. What an awesome testimony! Praise the Lord! I too wait with great anticipation for the great creative beast within you to let loose! Love and miss you all very much!
Praise the Lord for this testimony of His healing power! This has blessed my heart! God is SO good! :)
What a miracle!
I have been absent from blog-world for some time but am thrilled to hear of this blessed miracle for our dear, passionate Morgan.
I also echo Kristi's comments for you, Elizabeth, about this potential missions trip. I am believing the Lord for this opportunity for you and am confident that you will be fabulous. I too long for that opportunity, but it will come in due time.
Love you, miss you, and bless you my friend,
Natasha
