Chicago Trip Recap and Thank you!!!

We just wanted to give you a recap of our time in Chicago and offer some huge thanks to those who served our family so incredibly during this time.  I already shared with you God's immense travelling mercies on our way to Chicago.  Those continued on the way home as well, with the worst circumstance simply being our Trader Joe's cookie butter, one a treat for our family and the other a gift for Hope beloved educational assistant, being confiscated in security as not allowed on board!  : (  We were sad, but the phrase we've coined for such disappointing or frustrating circumstances was still indeed true. . . "it's not the end of the world!"  : )  But boy we wish we had thought of opening it and each having a quick spoonful to try before it hit the garbage can!  ; )  Lesson learned for next time. . . make sure you check peanut butter or peanut butter-like substances when flying!  : )

Thank you Harvest Bible Fellowship and Amy Tatum for a wonderful article:

The God of Hope

The Lord is moving mountains in the lives of Heather and Trevor Peacock as He continues to miraculously intervene in the life of their daughter Hope.

Many of you have heard bits and pieces about Hope Peacock. “Oh, the little girl with the brain injury?” “Wait, the Canadian pastor’s daughter, right?” “I remember our church praying for her.”

But for Heather, Trevor, and Gabriella Peacock, the past 20 months have not become a distant memory. Their journey has been an all-consuming, life-altering, faith-changing experience requiring not just daily, but hourly dependence on our faithful God.

On December 14, 2011, life absolutely, unexpectedly changed for the Peacock family. Two days after a routine tonsillectomy, Heather went to wake up her vibrant, bright daughter Hope, nine-years-old at the time, and found her unresponsive and barely breathing. They called an ambulance and rushed her to the hospital. After an MRI and five days in the ICU, the doctors confirmed that for some unexplainable reason, Hope had suffered a severe anoxic brain injury resulting from respiratory and cardiac arrest. She had not received oxygen to her brain for a long period of time. Sixty to eighty percent of her brain was dead and every lobe had been damaged. Doctors gave little hope for her survival.
