PAC: today we are off to the pre admission clinic (PAC) to do blood work in preparation for blood transfusion on surgery day and many other pokes and prods that Im not too sure about until we get there. Me and matt sat on our in laws deck today and just processed through where we were at. Its a beautiful day and even though our hearts feel heavy that the rollercoaster is just starting we know we will get through this as a family. The funny thing is, while I was in England a couple weeks ago my parents took to an amusement park. Me and dad were sat together on one of the massive rollercoasters. This was the first one I decided to try. As they strapped us in I begun to get butterflies and I was getting worried looking at what was ahead. I started telling dad I dont think I wanna do this anymore. The ride guy overheard and said do you want off? And I said no I guess Ill go. As we clunked upwards to be ready to be thrown full speed into the fast loops I screamed and told dad I dont want to anymore we reached the top and I yelled JESUSSSSSS!!!!!!!! - my dad laughing so hard lol. Then I closed my eyes tight and screamed the whole way. They made fun of me most of the day for that. I tell you that story because I look at it and think how many things I missed by shutting my eyes and yelling.i still felt the ride, but I missed the view, I missed what everyone else looked like ( that would have made me laugh), I couldnt hear anything over my screams. It maybe seems such an obvious cheesy comparison but I liken it a little to this. I am determined that even though we may be scared, terrified, fearful, as and eveything in between, we are on the ride none-the-less. There are highs, loops, people we are on the ride with and a view with a perspective like neve before. And when the ride ends and pulls to a stop you open your eyes and look around and realise your ok, lets go to the next ride!!! Strap me in god! We are ready ! Please keep praying for emery today! God is faithful! Hebrew 10:23 - 2 people separately gave us this scripture 2 hours apart - thanks Erin Wagstaff and Jennilee Wall
