11:41 pm - please keep praying!

Friends, family, brothers and sisters in Christ,

Please keep the prayers coming into these evening hours. Nathan has made it to Arkansas (he had already left earlier in the day for a planned weekend in Arkansas - what a touching God detail to cover so that he and Becca can be together). She's asked that I continue to keep the blog updated, as I know many of you are checking back on this page.

They are waiting right now - waiting to see if she is going to make it - and should know more around the 2 am hour. Becca ordered a shirt earlier this week that says "Wait. Trust. Pray." No truer words can be spoken right now. They wait. They trust. They pray. This faith they have, is a faith that has to be dug in deep. God is good and blessed be His name, but this is a full on storm and it is HARD. Beyond human strength.

Becca says it is painful to look at her as she and Nathan know Canaan is in pain, so we beg Jesus for comfort for her. And let us all raise our hands in praise that Canaan is surrounded by her mommy and daddy. The neonatologist said this is "catastrophic" yet she can recover. Some numbers are starting to look better while others worsen.

Canaan entered the world in an incredibly difficult way with her birth mother's infection and placenta abruption. Becca and Nathan long to see her run healthy and whole this side of heaven. They can't thank everyone enough for holding their arms up. This isn't their battle. Our prayers sustain them. Our prayers are theirs as they only have groans at this moment in time. She isn't a micro preemie who is adopted...she is Becca and Nathan's, their Canaan Rebecca. Her sweet black hair, her long fingers and toes. She is fighting.

They know the chances aren't good but they also know our Lord and Savior, our Abba Daddy, still loves to do miracles. The nurses whiz around them, while beeps and alarms go off, and they are lost yet also not because Becca and Nathan know where they need to be. With their daughter who has needed them to love her these last 13 days and Lord willing thousands more!

Becca and Nathan thank you for the prayers and the support. And Canaan knows you love her, too. Gut wrenching pain yet Holy Spirit filled.

-Courtney
