Day 9 - June 24 - Stay the Course!
It has been a busy week trying to keep up with all the developments regarding Connor, as well as Eric and Cherié's "rollercoaster ride". Sometimes hard to catch our breath in the few minutes we occassionally find at ConnorWatch.
For many of you who want to help in anyway you can, we ask you to be patient. Eric and Cherié, and Joélle as well, are about as well taken care of as they can stand. I know it can be hard to believe, but there actually is a point at which the 'help' can be overwhelming.
We are making arrangements to make it easy for you to contribute financially, and we have set up the Needs Support team of Mel and Kim to help coordinate all the offers to help with the needs the family currently has.
So, if you want to find out how to help at the moment, or you have something you want to do for the family, or if you are unsure if your visit the hospital will be timely and supportive, contact the Needs Support team through the Contact page and they will be glad to answer your questions. Their role is to act as a single point of contact for determining how best to help and support Eric and Cherié and Joélle during this transition, and to coordinate help offers so we don't end up with food, money, and visits from friends being wasted.
We are preparing for this to be a long journey, and we don't want all your best efforts to help burned out in the first few weeks. So be patient, watch the blog, contact Kim and Mel at Needs Support, and journey with us, one step at a time.
Eric, Cherié, Connor and Joélle will be grateful you stayed the course.

Eric and Cherie,
Praying now for you all.

Abba Father, as we wait while Connor is in surgery, we will stand at our watch and station ourselves on the ramparts; we will look to see what You will say to us and how we may reply. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, we will wait for it, it will cetainly come and will not delay. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therfore we put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, we may be able to stand our ground and after we have done everything, to stand...For this reason Father, we bow our knees before You, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that You would grant us, according to the riches of Your Glory, to be strengthened with power thru Your Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in our hearts thru faith; and that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to You Father God, who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to You Heavenly Father, be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Selah!
On this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (God's promise!)

With All My Love, A sister in Christ
Williamson family,
The blessing the LORD spoke through Moses to Aaron and his sons, I believe is apropos for you today too:
The LORD bless you, and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.
Num. 6:24-26
We pray that God is in every move that goes on in that operating room today.

I am listening to "Pretty Amazing Grace" sung by Neil Diamond right now softly in the background as I pray for Connor and knowing we have a pretty Amazing God whose hands are all over Connor during this operation.

heading home form work in a few, 5PM in ATL, and no way to check in til tomorrow. I'll be praying for the surgery to continue successfully, for Eric, Cherie, Joelle, and the rest of you to get some form of rest in some fashion, despite the stress, and for Connor to continue on the path, and God's presence to be particularly strong - and angel on the bed with him holding his hand and providing peace and relief is one idea that comes to mind....
