Sooner…

They just told us that the first surgery is done, so they will be taking her in about 10 minutes. She is an anesthesia risk (putting her under is a risk) so please pray that she comes through with flying colors. Also pray for the doctor doing the procedure and for us, we are stressed out.

We will know the results sometime tomorrow, so if you don’t hear anything between now and then, don’t be alarmed. Pray that it is NOT her coronary arteries, that is the very worst case scenario, if there is such a thing as the best case in this situation.

Talk to you soon,
M & H

    In tears I cried out…and continue praying and trusting God for
    Emma Grace…and you, Mark and family…from Mazatlan, Mexico…our prayers are standing with yours for Emma &
    all the people God will use MIGHTILY…HE is MIGHTY to SAVE
    the scripture you gave yourself, when this started…many are praying but not saying…with comments…so I will…

    Heavenly Father, This is more than we can understand, but you do…and You promise to give the George Family a peace that passes all understanding for Emma Grace. We look to You for the Healing - Jehovah Ropheka Jehovah Rapha…Mighty are YOU to save -to heal El Shaddai-the God who is sufficient for the needs of His People. We are gathered and united for Emma
    Grace as one people crying out for MIRACLES! Lord Jesus, You are the Miracle Worker and Great Physician! All healing comes from You. Your Word says that healing is your children’s bread(Mark 7:27) and Emma is Your Child! Thank You for caring so much for Emma! Thank You for Your healing power and steady Hands through each step! Your Word says (Is. 53.5) that by Your stripes Emma & Heather are healed and Ex. 15:26 tells us You are the Lord that heals Emma and Heather! Matthew 8:17 reassures us that You took our infirmities and carried our sicknesses! And whatever things we desire when we pray to believe we will receive them and Emma & Heather then shall have them because WE BELIEVE & RECEIVE(Mark 11:24) through Your Divine Intervention and aMazing Grace!!!There is a balm in Gilead, Lord…and You are the One who brings healing to the human body and heart of Emma Grace! James 5:16 commands us to pray for one another that we may be healed. You see the hearts praying and believing that the prayer of FAITH will save the sick and raise Emma up! (James 5:15).

    In faith, I now focus on Emma and bring little Emma Grace to You, beseeching you Lord, to heal her as You did the lame, the blind, the afflicted when You walked the earth.
    All power in heaven and earth is Yours, O Lord Most High, impart Your Supernatural power to Emma & Heather’s family and her. Send healing on the wings of Your Spirit, Lord to Emma…to Heather. You have promised to be Emma’s healer!
    Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me blesses Your Holy Name and forgets not all Your benefits, Lord(Ps.103)You
    forgive all our iniquities and YOU heal all our diseases!
    You are the Sun of righteousness who rises with healing in Your wings (Malachi 4:2)for Emma and her heart , arteries and entire body system for You formed her in her mother’s womb and created a Masterpiece once more…we claim Your healing touch and strength!

    We have HOPE in You, O Lord. We will ever PRAISE YOU and THANK YOU that You be glorified for being health to Emma…bring her through this surgery in Your precious Love by able Hands over every aspect…and healing & restoration for Emma! I place all my HOPE in You and prayers of many faithful for Emma and Heather because You are the health of their countenance and You are Our God. Let Emma’s health be restored and spring forth speedily as light breaks forth as the morning…We love You Lord and our love for You flows forth
    to this precious child Emma and her family to glorify You!
    Glory be to Your Name forever and ever for we claim this in Jesus precious Name and His blood that heals Emma, Amen

    I just thought it may bless you to hear aportion of the prayers being raised to the Throne. For His Word does not return void!
    Be blessed and VAYA CON DIOS y EL PODER de SU AMOR …
    en paz…Peace and Love In Christ, Peggy

    Heavenly Father,Your Will, Your Way, Your Child….When fear comes upon us we do put our trust in You. When our hearts are overwhelmed we go to the rock that is higher, the fortress that is stronger than we are. So we run to You with open arms and surrender our hearts to Your care. We trust You alone. We trust you to give the surgeon wisdom and knowledge above his experience and learning; we ask that his hands , his eyes, his skills may they all be Yours O God. May the caregivers be attentive to Emma’s needs and to Heather and Mark’s needs as well.

    Be Glorified!
    Because of Jesus, Bobbie
