We are praying for you too in Montana. Thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you in this journey, and partner with you and the Creator, for Baby Max. The Lord really uses your entire family to encourage and inspire us – so thank you! I read this verse today, and wanted to share it with you…
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things,
and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. ” Colossians 1:15-17

God Bless, and thank you for keeping us updated!

I am so happy to read once again that your are all doing well! I told my husband last night that it was time to go to bed…then as he walked past our office room to go upstairs, he said, “I thought you were going to bed!!” I said, “But first I have to check on the BABY!!” I am so appreciative that you have allowed us…all of us who check on you…sometimes hourly…to be a part of your life! You are a huge encouragement to us!! Blessings and prayers to you! Beth in Indiana

Thanks for the updates and specific requests. I will continue to pray and wait. Try to keep that sense of humor – it helps.

We are still praying for you all. Loved the bed and buttons
story. The Lord is so good to give us laughter in the midst
of difficult situations. You both are a blessing to us!

Laughter is good medicine.

Thanks for the updates. Following your faith journey is a blessing – your testimony through the Word, Psalm 27 & 34 was also our encouragement for one day in our journey (totally different context, but a wonderful example of the power of The Living Word to speak to every situation).

We visit your blog frequently, waiting & praying with you. Thanks for sharing specific prayer requests also.

Btw, it amazes me that it is possible to not be required to give birth (c-section) after 24 hours. You & Melanie are breaking ground. God Bless you for being willing to think outside the box and “Trust in the Lord”

So glad BabyMax is staying put…every day is worth so much in the womb at this stage…!
If you make it to 34 weeks, will you get to go to the “regular” hospital to deliver?

We, like others, have been checking your blog several times a day even though we are on vacation! Even the grandparents have gotten in on the anticipation! We thank God and you for every little “still waiting” update, and look forward to praising Him for BabyMax’s safe arrival.

Isaiah 40:11
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom,and gently lead those that are with young.

I am so blessed by your update. Fully relying on God is a wonderful way to live your life, and I appreciate your reminder.

Lord, we give thanks for this time that Nathan and Melanie have to rest in your arms, while they await the arrival of your precious gift. We pray that baby be kept safe and warm inside mommy until You deem otherwise. Please surround Melanie with Your arms, keep her strong and resilient as she awaits the arrival of her healthy strong baby. Please lift Nathan up as the head and strength of this family, keep him vibrant in Your spirit as he quiets his soul and listens to your voice.

All this we pray in your name,
Zane and Melissa
