While waiting...

That is what the Tim and Cristi Schwamb family believe as they wait on the LORD. Tim and Cristi's 3 year old daughter, Lauren, needs a heart transplant. No one wants someone else's child to die so that another might live. Yet, all this family knows to do is trust God and WAIT. And, that's just what they have been doing.
.
Cristi and Lauren have been in a hospital room at CHOP (Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia) since the beginning of January - TRUSTING AND WAITING. This video was made by Tim and Cristi just a few weeks before coming to CHOP. This family is an inspiration to me as I have watched them live out what they say here. I have seen set backs, additional difficult circumstances, sleepless nights, and months of separation not deter them from praising God.

May you join me in being blessed as you watch. You may need a tissue or two before you finish watching. We welcome you to leave messages of encourgement for the family afterwards. GIGATTAATTGIG!

My family and I are sky watchers! On my first birthday, celebrated in this century, our oldest son ran into the house shouting, "Mom, God has given you an amazing birthday gift - get the camera and come quickly!" The picture above was my "gift"! #GIGATTAATTGIG
