A much awaited update on our girl…
Today she is getting stronger.
Today our goal is helping her stay comfortable,
Today we are managing her pain, exercising her legs, and making sure she get’s some calories.
Today her pain is interesting to me.
Today she hurts in the middle of her back and her left arm and her chest.
Today her right leg seems stronger then the left and is less numb… She say’s it is not as asleep… She is able to move them a lot more while she is in bed.
Today she tried to put some body weight on her feet… They just are so weak after the first try she was done and she was then just a limp baby doll…
Today she sat in a chair for one hour. while she did this she cried and watched the clock the whole time… Who taught her how to tell time… Right now I am not that thrilled that she can…
Today I am trying to think about Today, and not tomorrow.
Today I need my cup filled… I feel like my cup has a small hole in the bottom and my faith is slowly dripping out.
I hate to put “like” on this on FB. Minnie’s recovery…I like. Minnie’s pain and Rachel’s hurt…I dislike. I love you both and hope to visit when the time is better. Know that prayers are still just as fervent and just as constant. Huge, but gentle, hugs to you both. Diane
Rachel my love, this verse has haunted me for some time now.
‘Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed’ (Luke 8:49-50 NLT)
I am unsure of what this means for you. I will call you soon.
Dear Rach & Minnie everyone has ask about you today at Church I told them to keep praying that you guys have this mountain to climb, As the verse Trust in the Lord an lean not on our owe understand , in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:5He is with you just hold on! Gram
God is healing you all, and He will continue to do so. He is faithful when we aren’t!
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Rach, I pray for Minnie’s recovery and for Jehovah-Ropheka — The Lord our Healer to take care of her. I also pray for comfort for her and strength of body and strength of determination for her. Rach, for you I pray for Jehovah-Rohi — The Lord our Shepherd to watch over all of you and especially that Jehovah-Hoseenu — The Lord our Maker will “reform your cup” We are all vessels made of clay and we have weak places, especially when stress and worry attack us. When we are at the end of our ropes & cry out to Him, God our Creator takes our weak vessels and shores us up and makes us stronger. Ps 28:6-9 . And God’s promise I want to claim for all of you…Isiah 40:28-31 The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary & tired, & vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength: they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Amen I know there will be weakness, tiredness, distress & this is a long hard journey, but in our weakness we are made strong by trusting the One who is our Salvation. Love Mama/Mema
Sweet friend, how I wish I could be there. Please know I am praying for your ‘Mama’s heart’, as you continue this climb. How I love you. And make no mistake. Oh, how HE loves you.
The Lord give you strength, be your strength today. Give you comfort and peace. Fill your cup again to keep trusting Him.
Right now He is with you. Tomorrow He will be with you. Forever He will be with you.
How long, O Lord? We don’t know. But when we look back from the other side, however far, it will have only been a moment.
Rach, I know this is so hard when you see Minnie in tears and pain. We sometimes feel that God is testing us and it can cause doubt. But remember that He will not forsake us or leave us. When Minnie has to sit in a chair .. well maybe playing a game like “I spy with my little eye” can distract her from the discomfort for a while …or give her a noise maker and let her make awsome noises. Our prayers will continue and may God lift you up right now and comfort you and sweet Minnie.
I like the new format!
Love the update. We are praying and thinking of you all every day.
