hi sweet friends,
we are back from our southern VA-CA! we had some much needed R&R. more on that later.
right now, a small update on Mama-Mama.
we are walking through a transition right now on trying to piece together the most loving, most peaceful, most life-giving care plan for Mama. her brain is not resting and her heart is in torment. we are desperate to offer her relief. during this transition we ask for specific prayers that we can find the perfect balance between environmental intervention and medical intervention. please pray for wisdom, rest, patience, clear and helpful answers to allow Mama's soul to land softly.
thank you for visiting Mama and Daddy at the house. i KNOW those hours are such a sweet reprieve, especially for dad. the music, the prayer time, the laughter, the hugs, and the delicious meals do not go unnoticed. ideally, we would write each of you a hand written thank you note... *audible laughter* but things aren't "ideal". note or no note.... we are eternally grateful!
over our vacation i had a few hours to reflect over the last year. one overwhelming promise pierced my heart time and time again; i am abundantly blessed! blessed that i have hope. hope that i am merely passing through this world. this is NOT my home. this is not how the story ends for my mom, for me, for those who call on Jesus. these heart aches, these days filled with oppressive darkness and pain will vanish in the presence of my Majestic Redeemer. when i behold Him face to face, when He wipes away the tears produced from the journey had, I will rest easy in the arms of I AM!
this is from psalm 84:11 &12
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You!"
