I’ve had so many sweet messages sent to me in the last week. Some checking on Mom and others just simply telling me they have been praying for us and love us. Each one is so special to me. I’ve struggled recently with making sure I’ve
responded to them all. Life recently has me running 100 miles per hour and sometimes it’s midnight before I can read them and respond. Please know that if I haven’t had a chance to respond to a text/message/comment that I’ve seen it and it blessed my heart. We love each one of you so much. Thank you for standing with us, Thank you for praying for us and thank you for loving us.
The last two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster. I’ve been trying to write an update and just haven’t had the time. It started with the scare of Mom’s seizures... then my 5 month old, Eleanor, was in the hospital and the last few days we have been moving into our new home.
Mom is now receiving a medication to treat seizures and hasn’t had an episode since. The EEG showed no signs of seizures so we are still puzzled as to what exactly was going on but are thankful that it’s being controlled. Our prayer is that eventually we can get rid of this medication and not have anymore episodes. Mom is doing so well, we are hoping to get her moved back to rehab tomorrow! Please be in prayer that the insurance will give us as much time in rehab as Mom needs. It would be so good for Mom’s recovery and helpful to teach Grannie the best way to care for her until her chest is completely healed from surgery.
Recently, so many people have told me things like “You are so strong..I don’t know how you do it....”. Let me be the first to tell you that I don’t feel strong. This season of life has brought me to some of my weakest and lowest points, but it has also filled me with a new sense hope and faith. You see, when the darkness is overwhelming and the hopelessness is creeping in I’ve learned that we, as Christians, must continue to stand. When we are brave enough to stand in the storm, we will witness the extraordinary peace that Jesus can bring. When we stand face to face with darkness and declare that it leaves, we will be filled with the hope and the promises of Jesus. He’s promised GOOD to those that love and follow him. So I encourage you today that if you are face to face with darkness, continue to stand. Stand and declare goodness over your life and family. Don’t allow the devil to tear you down and convince you that you aren’t strong enough to withstand the storm. You are a child of God, you are the storm.
