It feels so good and Im so thankful to be able to see more clearly again. It seems like there has been more of a routine again, less overwhelming!! That doesnt mean that it couldnt change tomorrow, but we are definitely enjoying and embracing every calm minute we get. Lord,...give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer. A very dear friend from Switzerland, Andrea, is visiting for the next four weeks. Her peaceful, sweet, and godly disposition only adds sunshine to our home!! The appointment for Micah to get a Baclofen pump implanted had to be put on hold. The ultrasound at UVA showed a residual blood clot in his left leg. They do not feel comfortable taking him off the blood thinner for the surgery. Also, we are already being dismissed from therapy. We were told that once Micah starts improving again, we would be able to receive their service again. It almost seems backwards......only when I let my thoughts dwell on it, tho. On Gods journey, nothing is backwards!!!!!! There must be another door opening, or we might have to spend some time in the hallway! We already know that some of the most amazing simply salted moments have happened right there, in the hall waiting! Be still, and in the quiet moments, listen to HIS voice of your heavenly Father. HIS words can renew your spirit......no one knows you and your needs like HE does. A.G. Micahs physical issues, to him, are fading away, not because of ignorance or hopelessness .....but because of the spiritual focus becoming so much more important!! Automatically, the conversation always leads back to Micahs visitation in heaven. It has been such a tremendous comfort for us as his parents. Knowing that Micah is so content and would never want it any other way.....what more could we ask for? He talks about a reset button, how he would never ever push it! Why, we ask him. Because it would mean that the accident would never have happened!!!!! Wouldnt that be a wonderful thing, tho? He says, no, because he would not have met Jesus!! It has been incredible to listen to Micah. His message is very clear, never changing, never confusing, it is Gods tremendous love for each one of us! The first time he had told me about that love, I said, Thats really nice, Micah, I know! Micah looked at me and in a very serious way said, No, Mama, you dont know!! Ever since, I have not been able to ever use that expression God loves you lightly again. Because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by His grace you have been saved.Eph 2:4-5 I think the most unbelievable, yet believable thing happened during Josiah s birthday party. Because of some amazing friends that picked up Micah with an ambulance, he was able to be part of it. Everybody was having so much fun swimming, playing volleyball,.....and there was Micah in his wheelchair, the kid that used to be in the middle of all the fun!! With tears I asked him if he was sad, if he would have loved to participate, if he was thinking about his circumstance????? Micah is a 14year-old that was extremely athletic and passionate about sports. Wouldnt it have been totally normal and understandable for Micah to be sad???? Instead, he said, What is there to be sad about? I could get up and join everybody, but I dont want to! I was very confused!!!!! Micah went on, I dont want to because it is not Gods timing yet. He has not told me yet to pick up my matt and walk!! The only reason I am alive today is to minister. I didnt want to come back, it was so beautiful in heaven, but Jesus said that HE answered your prayers! I had to share this with all of you, knowing that this message is all Micah is living for.....the only reason he is alive today! It is through mans encounter with God that he reaches his highest destiny. C. G.
