Giving Him ALL the Glory

I must share these people and this story with you ... because I am in awe again and again at how people give God the Glory for ALL He has done.

Months ago, I was in Jackson doing a few things and hoping to meet up with my best friend in Jackson, Angie. While planning to just stay the night with she and Breisch, I get a phone call that her sister-in-law, Kristina, had just gotten news that her baby girl she was carrying was not ok.
So, needless to say, they rushed to get their son who was with Breisch's mom and be with family.

That is where this story of faithfulness started to impact me. Kristina gave birth to Layne Grace Gaston on October 14, 2010 not knowing the outcome of her birth. Layne has Trisomy 18, a fatal chromosomal disorder, and they were unsure if she would even make it to birth. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! Layne is a week old today and holding her own pretty well. They were able to take her home today to be with them until the Lord brings her home with him. Just like all of us as adults and children alike, our days are numbered and how high that number will go – we don't know!
You can follow Kristina and Hamp's journal for Layne on CaringBridge by clicking here. Please pray for them as they continue this journey and cherish every day they have with that baby girl.
I am in awe of their faithfulness as they are allowing God to get ALL the Glory for this great thing He has done! No one really knew or thought they would have this many days with this precious child.
