for those of you that might be checking the site this afternoon will you pray. Mostly for Kyle. I just talked with his nurse and his right lung is not doing so good - she has asked to see us when we get there. That makes me nervous. He has AMAZING doctors and nurses - but sometimes it is worrysome when they want to speak with you.
also - and those of you that know me know that I HATE admiting this but will you pray for me. Some days I do so good... some days not so good. I am fighting so hard to confess all the fear and panic to the Lord and I am begging for peace but on days like today i feel like I am living in well that is filling up with dirt and I can't get out! so please pray for me too. MOSTLY FOR KYLE - please continue (and thank you for doing so) begging God to heal our little lion!
I never knew something in our wonderful lives could hurt this much. I never know motherhood created this place in you that could feel unimaginable joy and unimaginable pain - I hurt so much for all 3 of my boys. so again I will end by telling myself the truth!
God is my Father - he loves me and cares for me and all things will work together for the GOOD!
His nearness is my good!
He loves my children even more than I do.
we will update later - kelly

Yes, we will increase our prayers. We love you and remember...He loves you more!
Kelly,
there is a scripture that I would like to share because it helps me through some of the toughest times, Psalms 18:2. I am going to place your family on our church prayer list tonight and know that we are praying for a divine intervention for Kyle. WIth love and prayers, ANgela Kennedy, Texas
I will pray right now for you and for Kyle. Yes God loves you and Kyle very much... so do many other people who out there praying for you all!
Kelly,
I don't know you guys that well, but after reading your posts, I feel like I do. I sing on one of the vocal teams that your husband leads at Woods Edge. I have this on my heart to share with you- God knows where you are. He hurts when you hurt, he cries when you cry, he smiles when your heart is happy. The one thing that sticks out to me is what your husband said in one of his previous posts about a picture God gave him of God holding little Kyle in His mighty hands. I see that for you as well. God knows you are exhausted, He knows you feel overwhelmed, He knows you are afraid and unsure of the future, but this word I bring to you- He is still in control, He is taking care of you and the more you call on Him, the more you cry out to Him, the more He clings to you. So keep crying out from your heart. And thank you for being so open- it helps us know how to better approach God on your behalf. So, from friends you do not yet know, please trust we are praying for you, and we love you.
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
I take comfort in knowing that Jesus has overcome all that this world throws at us. I pray that you will take comfort in knowing that Jesus loves your little guy and He is utilizing this situation to bring glory to Himself.
Nicole and I continue to pray for you, John and all of your boys!
Still praying for Kyle... I had a dream last night that Kyle was 10 months old and was strong and healthy and had a good set of lungs! I believe 110% that God is going to fulfill this dream-- the little lion WILL roar! :o)
John and Kelly,
Praying right now for Kyle and the entire family. God is in control and knows the plans He has for all of you.
much love
Brandie
Kelly & John,
Praying for Kyle and your family every moment you are laid on my heart, which has been a lot of my days. I cannot even begin to imagine the emotional roller coaster that you guys have been on the last 2 weeks. My dad has been fighting a losing battle with cancer and was placed in hospice care this past week. There is a song that I love to listen to which has brought me much peace during this time. It's a Big Daddy Weave song called "Hold Me Jesus." Part of the chorus is "you have been King of my glory, won't you be my Prince of Peace." In addition to praying for complete healing for Kyle, I am praying just that for the both of you, and the boys.
love, leslie (howell) nemec
I am continuing to pray for you sweet friend... I am praying Isaiah 41 over you tonight,
9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
13 For I am the LORD, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
20 so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this,
that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
I love you friend...I pray He holds you in His right hand today... Diana
Praying fiercely, praying daily, and praying some more. For each of you. For friends and family members that are supporting you, loving you, feeling many of the same feelings you are. I know you have lots of help right now, so when the 'marathoners' get tired, please let me know how I can help. In Him, Amanda (neighbor)
Kelly,
Please know that as we have been praying over your little lion, I have also been praying for you constantly...That above all else, God would guard your heart, the wellspring of life (Prov 4:23) and that you won't be up too early or too late and will be able to rest, for He gives His beloved sleep (Psalms 127:2).
We are praying that God will use Jadon and Jack to minister to you and John...that the meaning of your time with them will be multiplied in their tender hearts (and yours). I am praying that God will shield you from a spirit of fear, that He will continue to provide you with hope.
Psalms 119:49-50
Remember Your word to your servant,
for You have given me hope!
My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life.
I pray that God will provide the stamina and the strength to continue to be a light to those around you who are questioning the faith you have in this midst of this trial. I pray that you will "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for THE HOPE that you have." (1 Peter 3:15b)
I am agonized before God on your behalf. I don't know if it is because I have 3 little boys also, or because my Larry is in ministry as well, but since we saw you and John last week, I haven't been able to feel that I have prayed enough for you, for John, for Kyle, for Jadon or Jack.
Praying, praying, praying...Colleen (and Larry)
praying, praying, and praying more!!!
