Thursday Afternoon

The neurologist came and examined Matt today and the result was the same. Matt does not respond to stimulus. In addition, his EEG was the same as yesterday. All of this is a bad sign for any possibility of improvement in his condition. They are going to repeat the tests tomorrow. At that time, if there is no improvement, we are going to decide to discontinue life support.

Please pray for us as we go through this extremely difficult time. Also, please pray that God will heal Matt sometime in the next 24 hours.

Noel, Lizzy, David and I are extremely grateful for all of the help, support and prayers that we have gotten over the last year and especially in the last few days. It really makes a difference to have family and friends around in times like these.

  5. Father God,
    We place Matt in your hands right now & ask that YOUR will be done. We believe that you are the Great Physician and that you can touch Matt and make him whole. Father we thank you that you have allowed us to borrow Matt from you for these 20years and we thatnk you for the impact that he has had on everyone that he has come in contact with. Father if it is your will that Matt comes back to be with you, we pray that you will give his family YOUR PEACE to deal with the loss and that you will hold them in YOUR ARMS in this time. Father we thank you and praise you.
    Guys we love y'all and we are here to help in any way we can...Melanie L

  9. If the lord chooses to take Matt, It is only because he needs a messenger to continue spreading the word of God. God has plans for all of us. Remember this he never gives us more then we can handle. Our prayers are with Matt and all of you during this troubling time.

    May god guide you through this difficult decision.

    Love Melissa & Darrel

  12. Heavenly Father,
    There are no words for the depth of our feelings for Matt. We pray for his healing. We pray for his care and protection. Please, send Your angels to bless and surround him always. May he always see You at the center of his life. May he grow strong, May he be healthy, May he be blessed to live most fully and love most deeply, to continue to give the world his Heartsongs. That is our wish. That is our prayer for him forever. We ask for a miracle for Matt....we surrender him into Your hands. Amen

  14. God Bless you and your family during this time. We are all praying for Matt and you all. I don't know you all but a friend post a link requesting prayer so I read the entire blog last night and was truly moved. Matt has been so strong throughout all of this and has shown strength more then most of us could ever endure. Truly and inspiration. I am praying for a miracle for him. We must all just trust that God has a plan and do what is best and meant to be.

  19. Lord God you said if two or more came in agreement anything can happen. I know that there are more than two people believing now. Bring a miracle through the early hours of this morning and heal Matt in the name of Jesus.

  20. We're still here.....interceding on your behalf.
    The mystery of God's sovereignty is the only answer......we must trust God to make the sovereign choices for our lives. I sometimes don't like it but nevertheless, God has a divine plan that is outside our finite understanding and control. His plan includes our birth date as well as our going home to be with him forever date. Our God is just and merciful.....whatever He chooses is the best for Matt (maybe, not us...I'm kicking and screaming)whether or not he is healed on this earth....this too, is part of the mystery.
    You ALL are my "heroes of faith". A day will come when the things that are now fuzzy and hard to understand will be made clear to us. Our secure hope is in our God and in our eternal destnation.
    Your family and friends(your arm holders) are still here....You ALL are deeply loved!!!!
