My Father's way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
but in my soul I'm glad I know,
He maketh no mistake.

My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But still I'll trust my Lord to lead 
For He doth know the way.

Tho' night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break;
I'll pin my faith, my all in Him,
He maketh no mistake.

There's so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight's far too dim;
But come what may, I'll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.

For by and by the mist will lift
And plain it all He'll make.
Through all the way, tho' dark to me,
He made not one mistake.

-A.M. Overton


Lately I've been thinking about how the Lord has used many of you to voice prayers when we've lacked the words; and carry burdens for our family when we've lacked the strength.  It has truely been overwhelming, but in an amazing peace-filled and joy-filled way. 

I want to take a picture of that with us to Nashville.  So, if you feel led, we would love for you to make a small sign (anywhere from a 3x5 card to a 11x14 piece of paper) to hang in Ethan's hospital room. We want to fill the walls with sciptural truths and your prayers for Ethan.   I really think the Lord wants to use your words to encourage our hearts and speak loudly of His glory at Vanderbilt Hospital. 

Thanks for Journeying With Us,
Sara
