I've been thinking and praying about many things recently. It's taken me a while and because of the nature of those thoughts, I haven't been as eager to post, I'll admit. I've never had much luck at hiding my feelings and I doubt it would be much different in writing. Knowing that, I've been reluctant to post all my meanderings. Also, we don't currently have an Internet connection at the house so everything has to be posted from my phone and that definitely takes more time than the computer.
However, two things have recently changed my mind somewhat. I know there are many of you who are so interested in Philip and how he is doing. You check often to see what's going on. That means so much to me so I want to try to let you know even some of the little things throughout our days. The other thing that makes me want to double my efforts is an article I read on Sunday in the OKC newspaper. Another young mother here in the OKC metro keeps a blog about her family. After I read her story, I was in tears and realized how much I had to be thankful for. She lost her husband to cancer and was a single mom to their one son with a baby on the way. The baby girl was born and at two weeks developed bacterial meningitis and was in ICU for a month with severe brain damage. In fact, when she made the decision to remove her from the ventilator, she was expected to pass away but she didn't. She kept on breathing and progressing. She is at home now but has a long road ahead of her to fully recover. This all happened in the last year. They specifically mentioned that this young woman blogs about their journey and besides communicating to others what is happening, she is encouraged by sharing. I read some of the posts they included in the article and she is definitely a believer. She gives God the glory and trusts in Him still despite all that has happened. It inspired me to keep recording our journey so God can get the glory from our lives and so each of you who pray can know better how to pray. I'm still not going to be able to post every day probably but I intend to be more regular in posting.
I want to share some of the thoughts and prayers and what God has shown me over the last couple of months but this post is already long, especially on the phone. 😄 I hope to share over the next week.
Thanks for praying.
