This was the first time in 8 weeks that it felt like a cocktail week. It was filled with all different kinds of emotions, events, news, changes,......just like a cocktail! The adjustment this time around was harder, not only because I had both girls and was more tired to begin with, but also the routine issue! Once I have one, we switch shifts again. Im a task oriented person, the hanging out or floading around, is not necessarily my thing or strength. But guess what? The Lord did not count or accept it as an excuse! He said,you can do all things through ME WHO strengthens you. Phil 4:13 I have been experiencing the truth of this scripture.....but am far from mastering it! It has truly been by HIS strength only. A daily choosing, battling, renouncing and rebuking anxiety......., THEN more choosing and doing spiritual warfare follows to actually LET the peace that surpasses all understanding settle deep within my being!!!! Its a two step deal! By the time I experience some victory, its time to go home again and do the same all over again there! I think The Lord calls it perseverance and spiritual workout!!!! It would be so much easier if there was a spiritual YMCA!!!!! Lol! Gods Spirit sets you apart and becomes your personal Teacher and Trainer. B.V. It was a rich week, a time of completing another level of grieving, a time of peeling another layer of sadness!! To keep me above water, the water will not drench me...Is.43 The Lord left countless fingerprints of HIS, reminding me constantly of the one and only purpose and meaning of Micahs accident. Some of those fingerprints included two ladies that work a the office at the hospital. The twins and I were leaving, walking down the hallway with Lianna singing her thoughts. The ladies stopped and said ,There she is, the reason for a daily smile. We open our office door when we see her come, just to hear her sing!! What an inspiration! Please keep her singing!! Another fingerprint was the opening of the lobby at the childrens hospital where we are. They asked Micah to be part of it. I was asked for permission for Micah to be in pictures and on the local news. As an encouragement to so many! Also, the doctor told me the story of the rehab at CHKD! She had tears in her eyes when she shared that this passed January they were going to shut down rehab. Only a few weeks before Micah was admitted. They gave it a try and now, seeing what is happening with Micah, they all found the purpose and energy again! She wanted us to know that Micah plays a huge role in the keeping rehab open. What a blessing, what a perfect timing, what a blessing for so many other children that need a place like CHKD. She was also the doctor that let the girls play with her hair! And set our three girls up at the First Presbyterian Preschool where her girls are as well. From now on (as needed) the girls can go there from 12-6pm to play, nap, and learn! I could go on and on.......needless to say, HIS fingerprints outweigh the sadness and grieving!! Micah is still throwing up. We are still adjusting volume, calories, and water! Also the times of being fed, etc. It is so wonderful that now he can tell us if he feels sick! Because of his tone, especially in his legs, therapy is being hindered! We have seen purposeful moving in his legs, controlled by Micah! That was the specific prayer of the week! They believe that with less tone he could improve much more. Therefore they ordered a CPM-machine that works his legs continuos passive motion in his sleep. That way, he wakes up ready for therapy! How incredible! Gods blessings can provide the world with tangible evidence that HE is active, involved, and graciously good.
