This will be short... it's early, and we need to leave for the hospital shortly.
I just wanted to tell you that Spencer and I are humbled when we saw the number of people who left us a comment last night. We so deeply appreciate your encouragement and your prayers.
My friend Kirsten will be updating throughout the day today.
Thank you again for continuing to pray...

Val
Prayers and hugs for you and your family. May He hold you in His blessings today and always.
ReplyDeleteA friend sent me the link to your blog asking for prayers for your family. I have been praying for you last night and been thinking of you and your family this morning. your faith is inspiring and your story has prompted me to cherish my own blessings even more. I pray that you are able to hold your little Isaac this morning and find peace and comfort in that.
ReplyDeleteI thought of the three of you as I watched the sun rise this morning. I am wishing you peace.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Isaac! We love you and are praying for a miracle. Cannot wait to see pictures and hear all about you!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are in my thoughts today.
ReplyDeletePraying in Texas....7:31 am.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much your faith has touched me. When you mention memorizing Psalm 121 so you can repeat it during your C-section.... I am humbled by the faith that you have held onto in light of mind-blowing circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you today - as I have stopped to think of you and pray for you often over the past couple weeks since I stumbled over your blog.
Romans 12:12 comes to mind...
'Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.'
I pray God WILL take this cup from you .... but stand in awe of his awesomeness and pray that His Will be done!
~Fellow Beleiver, To God be the Glory
Again, another stranger leaving a comment. I woke up at 1:39 a.m. last night and just asked God over and over for a miracle.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can feel us beside you today, your own personal army... holding you in our arms and lifting you all up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteI've only been following your blog for a short time but I have to leave a comment on such a special day! I'll be lifting you both up in prayer throughout today and especially little Isaac. Praying for God to bless you with His peace that passes understanding and the comfort only He can give. And I wont' stop asking God for a miracle for Isaac!
ReplyDeleteRobin
Look at all the people praying for little Isaac!! May his life be a testimony of God's incredible love for all - drawing everyone to him.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs to you, Stacy, Spencer & Isaac. God's blessings upon you.
My mother and I have both been praying for Isaac.
ReplyDeletePraying for you in MA
ReplyDeleteSo many prayers for all three of you. Your strength and faith is humbling to witness.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck, and a miracle from God.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your story from another site I use (Myfitnesspal.com) where someone was asking for prayer.
I am lifting you up before God in prayer.
Gina (Mamapants)
I'm still holding out for a miracle for Isaac, you, Spencer, and your family. I am continuing to pray...
ReplyDeleteStacy, for some reason, Daniel 3 has been on my heart for you. Especially the part where the three boys respond "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
ReplyDeleteWhile the golden image may not be in context, the words "is able to save us" and "But even if he does not" stood out so clearly. Their faith was unmeasurable. They knew what they were walking into. They knew that God could save them. But they also knew within themselves that even if He did not, they knew what was the right thing to do, and they would praise and honour Him till the end.
Stacy, by allowing Isaac his life, you have walked towards the furnace. You know God can save. You also know He may not. Your faith has never waivered. You kept walking what you knew to be right.
How I pray that today there is an angel in the furnace with you keeping you from the fire. I pray Jesus Himself will be there to keep you safe. I pray the Lord God will save Isaac. Yet even if he does not heal him this side of heaven, I will join with you to praise His Name.
As I wrote to Isaac, God is able. He remains faithful. We still pray in faith.
I am praying for you stacy and spencer. praying god bleses you time to kiss his face, love on him. i pray that you will continue to trust God to sustain you in this wonderful but difficult time. we all love you spencer and sweet Isaac and praise God for what a light this little boy has been.
ReplyDeleteI have followed your story for months--throughout my entire pregnancy. My older brother was born over 30 years ago with an oomphaloceal and given less than a 4% chance of survival--today he has a daughter of his own.I am praying today for you and your son. Issac IS a miracle, and he is so blessed to have parents that will love him with a lifetime full of love.
ReplyDeleteStacy and Spencer,
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you today and Issac will be in my thoughts.
You've been in my thoughts and prayers all morning! Still praying . . . 8:50am.
ReplyDeleteMore prayers coming your way....
ReplyDeleteYou've been in my thoughts since the first time I saw your blog. Your strength humbles me. I wish you nothing but the best, and I'm praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThinking of & praying for your entire family today. [Hugs]
ReplyDeleteWe pray for you, Spencer, and your little Isaac. May you all have a wonderful Birthday day! My God shine his grace on you all today. We pray that he will let you hold on to your little boy for a while. My God truly bless your family. You are such an inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for you, Spencer, Isaac, and your families. Some spend their whole lives wondering their purpose and you and Spencer are so blessed to already know.
ReplyDeleteYou are the ones showing the world that even in your times of grief, questioning, and uncertainty, your faith in God is unfailing. May He continue to bless you all.
I have been thinking about you guys non-stop since yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night and said yet another prayer for Isaac and for you. Please know we are all praying for all of you with all our might - God bless you.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and thinking about you every minute this morning. Enjoy meeting your beautiful baby boy :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about your family and praying for little Isaac all night and morning. My husband and I said a prayer for all of you last night before going to bed. You and Spencer are both inspirations as parents. Isaac could not be more blessed.

Stacy and Spencer,
ReplyDeleteYou will be in my heart and my prayers today. I pray that Isaac is born healed and if not, that he feels only love and not pain. I pray for an easy operation and quick healing, for the swift stitching so that you may spend time with your precious son. Trust God and may he bless and keep you.
