Yesterday at snack time Hunter said, "mom, I really want a snack but I just don't want to poke my finger. When will I be able to eat without poking my finger all the time?" With tears in my eyes I explained to him that I want nothing more than for him to be able to eat without worrying about his blood sugars and that we will continue to pray that Jesus will heal him. Trying to understand it all he replied, "you always tell me that if I pray for Jesus to heal me and believe it in my heart then I will be healed. Well, I have believed it in my heart for a LONG time and I STILL have diabetes!" More tears and less wisdom from me. Please say a prayer for my very wise 5 year old who does not know life without lots of pokes.

No one told me being a mom would be this hard!

ohhh teresa...oh hunter. all of us who love him want nothing more than that for him as well.
it's times like that, that i am so thankful for the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray...Our Father who art in heaven.
we will continue to pray that God's will be done in hunter's life and that whatever God has in store for him, it will bring peace to his wise little heart.
Oh, that brought tears to my eyes too.
Poor guy!! That makes me sad for him...hang in there Hunter!!
Breaks my heart. Sweet Hunter, I'll be praying for you.
Praying for you, Hunter. You're a very sweet and courageous little guy.
What a special little man you have. I will continue to pray for God's healing in his life.
Poor Hunter, it's so hard for kids to understand limits and restrictions and the tests etc. that come from having a disease or illness. We go through the same thing here only not nearly to the extent that poor Hunter has. I pray that someday they will find a cure for diabetes and other childhood diseases as well. No child should have to go through what these children do!
That just breaks my heart. It is hard to explain to a child God's timing. Someday he will have an awesome testimony on how God healed him. I pray that come soon for yours and Hunter's sake. What a brave boy you have though. I still get light headed when I just get my flu shot! Hang in there Teresa!
God has big things in store for this little guy! Stay strong Teresa and keep your head up. God does have a plan for your son and a purpose. Times like this it's tough to see beyong this moment, but He is faithful.
I feel bad for Hunter - but so thankful that he has such wonderful parents that have taught him about prayer and Jesus's healing power. Stay strong Teresa and Hunter will too.
Hunter and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
What an awesome little guy! Inspite of it all he is learning to trust God even when it is not exactly his timing. To continue to pray and believe is an amazing thing, and to trust even more amazing. We will just continue to pray and believe for his complete healing.
aww poor little sweetie. :o(
Has he always had diabetes? If you don't mind me asking... is it type 1 or 2? I'm assuming 1....
like some of the other mom's have said, just keep on believing and praying... just keep Jeremiah 29:11 in mind. Our Lord does have a plan and a purpose for little Hunter... Plans to give him hope! and a future!
(emphasis added)
Take care Teresa
I just went through some of your old posts and found the one about Hunter and the diabetes... wow what a responsibility for a little guy!
I'll be sure to keep his needs in our family's prayers.
What a sweet, beautiful picture. I was so touched by this post. He has my prayer.
