Not yet....

Hi all,
Will's heart procedure has been postponed until Tuesday of next week this is due to a fever he developed overnight and his support level of oxygen and nitric was to high. Overall, he had a great day. His oxygen level had well above the target percentage of 87. He varies between 92 to 98. They have reduced his oxygen support from 80% to 50%. His nitric support has been reduced from 20ppm to 16ppm and they are continuing to go down. When we left the hospital he was resting and smiling at his moma. Thank you Denise Russell for your encouraging words and instruction. Thank you Schlonda Phillips for your testimony of God's faithfulness. Thank you Sheila Young for the scripture. Thank you Valice and Fredericka for your words of encouragment. Thank you Belinda for your early morning prayer. Anita Hill, the presence of the Lord is always in your reply, thank you. Irene Chavez, I feel as you do, everything that Lil' Will go through and overcome encourages and strengthens me also. I know that everyone on this list prays and gives us some kind so I'm not making light of what this body is doing through the Lord. Thank you Stacey Meredith for your understanding and support of Sequita. What you do for her you do for Lil' Will and me and we both appreciate you for that. I close with this. In the first email I mentioned nine gifts of the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 12. There are seven more gifts which are foundational gifts or motivational gifts mentioned in Romans chapter 12
1. Prophecy
2. Ministry (Servant)
3. Teacher
4. Exhorter (Encourager)
5. Giver
6. Leader
7. Mercy
We use these gifts every day to some degree. Some are more stronger in each of us than others. These gifts are not just locked up within the walls of the church building. We use them when we interact with our family, friends, and co-workers. Just because I have been quoting from scripture don't make it religious, what I have been quoting is designed to produce life. I realize our group are from different backgrounds and denominations and that is the beauty of our connection with one another. At the moment Lil' Will is the common denominator that draws us together in prayer and thought to the one Source that brings life and that is God the Father and His Son Jesus.

Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Eph 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
