Tonight Scott and Amy had Pastor Steve and Connie come and we dedicated Jonah to the Lord. It was awesome for family and friends to gather around him and pray over him. Scott shared that God loves Jonah more than he and Amy do, and for that he is thankful. We had an awesome time of prayer. It is so wonderful that when we pray the Holy Spirit comes in and comforts and encourages our hearts. We have a peace knowing that Jonah belongs to the Lord whether he continues to live here with us or with God in heaven.
Just before we all came in for the dedication Scott and Amy came out of the NICU with big smiles sharing that Jonah had urinated 10 cc's which was more than the total of 3 he has done for the last 3.5 days. For all the little miracles we are thankful. Amy is a beautiful mommy enjoying her son, and Scott is a proud daddy. They are thankful for these precious days with their son. I am so honored to be able to share in this time with them. The Lord is pouring out his peace and love on them and it is so evident. He is truly upholding them during this time and the Lord is hearing our prayers. Thank you for your continued love and support through prayer. We are continuing to pray for a miracle that would 'drop all the doctors jaws', as pastor prayed, but we know that the Lord has a perfect plan for Jonah and we can trust Him in whatever it is.
This scripture was on my heart today: "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect, and complete lacking nothing." James 1:2
I know it is Scott and Amy's prayer that God be glorified!

You don't know me, or I you, but Jonah and family are in our prayers daily! He is being lifted up by many near and far! What a great "encouragement" today to open your blog!! We will pray for jaw dropping answer to prayer!

A good friend of ours told us about Jonah's struggles. Please know that our family as well as countless others are praying for baby Noah and your entire family. We are going through a struggle of our own and know how difficult it is for everyone involved. We pray that you all receive the strength that only the Lord can grant to get you through these difficult times.
We have a blog of our own (Robynnsbattle.blogspot.com) that reaches people across the country and have asked them all to Raise Jonah and your family up to the Lord in the hopes that He will Grant your Precious Gift the Miracle he needs.
God Bless You and Grant You Strength!

Amy and Scott- I've been out of town since Friday but have continued to pray for you all. You're loved by God and he will be with little Jonah forever! If you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me!
Thank you to Scott's sister for making this blog!
Love, Erin
Amy and Scott,
We rejoice with you in God's goodness and His perfect love. We cry with you for the heart wrenching tugs at a parent's hearts. We praise God for the gift of time He's given Jonah. We are so thankful that God and His plan are bigger than we can even imagine, and that we don't have to understand it or agree with it for it really to be God's best. We look forward to the day, here or with Jesus, that we'll get to meet your precious Jonah.
Please know that you are not alone.
Prayers, tears, hugs,
Leslie and Dan Burns
Many prayers from Charlottesville Virginia!
Dear Ones,
I am looking forward to hearing how Sunday is going! A friend told me today you are on the Cornerstone prayer list, which is huge. Also, Steve asked the congregation at the the EV services. Plus, tonight you are being lifted up at the journey of prayer. Oh LORD, send your healing touch on this precious gift from You!
Love you all! Tim & Amy
Amy and Scott,
I am a friend of the Goodells and read about you and your new little guy on Robynn's blog. I will be thinking of you often and checking the blog to read about Jonah's progress. It sounds like the two of you have already demonstrated an amazing amount of strength and courage. Keep it up.
Sincerely,
Tonya Sandoval & Family
