There’s nothing more I love, on this side of glory, than my son, Benjamin. Since he’s been part of this life, he’s been the most awesome blessing. I’ve seen him grow and develop and he’s changed so much in just 14 months. Today was a real test for my baby boy (and me). He had surgery and nervous doesn’t even begin to describe how I was feeling early this morning. I pledged to make it my number one priority to protect him as best as I can, but even Dad has cracks in his solid exterior. This morning was one full of prayer, waiting, and fighting negative thoughts.
My big boy came through the surgery with flying colors (a little groggy from the anesthesia and hungry, but he handled it like a boss, according to his attending nurses). Buda’s surgery was a test of my faith, as I really didn’t want to go through with it, but God showed me, once again, that it’s He that ultimately protects Buda.
As Christians, our faith should be steeped in God, not in medicine, surgery, or ideologies – those are just tools used by us, under God’s hand to accomplish His will.
I’m thankful to God that Buda is resting comfortably and eating applesauce. Soon, he’ll be back to ripping and running – as I’ve been accustomed to over the last couple months. Soon, my nerves will return to normal baseline. Shoutout to Buda’s mom for watching over him. We feud and fuss, but after serving God, Buda is our priority. Keep our little guy in your prayers.
