Long time ......

It's been a crazy, blessed, busy year. My daughters and I are looking forward to a new Autumn season, while enjoying the rest of summer.

Where life has taken us.......

Well, the Lord opened the door for my two youngest to attend a local private school, we are all looking forward to that! I've come to terms with the fact that my season of home-schooling has come to an end and may never be a journey I walk again. At times I'm full of sorrow thinking how fast my children have grown up, yet I'm so excited to be a part of watching them grow into Godly young women.

This summer we've spent quite a bit of time visiting Epilepsy specialists in Cleveland. It's been a long road trying to find the right medicine for Ms.Angel and Ms.Sav (not their real names) that will control their seizures without a lot of side effects. I'm praying that the new medicine that they are both on will be well tolerated, right now they are both experiencing headaches and upset stomachs. The doctors said that over time both symptoms should diminish.

Pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to Him for the lives of your children. ~ Lamentations 2:19

Last week was Ms.Sav's week to stay at Rainbow Babies and Children for observation and testing. Within 24 hours of taking new medicine her tests showed a decrease in seizures, we are praising God!

In August it will be Ms.Angel's turn to stay for a week. I pray that the Lord will always remind me of a few things:

  • 1. That He is God and controller of everything.
  • 2. That He is bigger than my problems, heartaches and doubts.
  • 3. That He is not surprised when 'life' takes a different turn than what His children expect.
  • 4. That He is my personal Savior; my Prince of Peace...and is always willing and able to walk this journey with me.
  • Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ~ Romans 15:13
