Happy Thursday, Friends!
We are rapidly approaching our return to St. Jude. God is beautifully moving every piece into place making this a smooth transition for each of us and we are so thankful!
Kayleigh had a pretty good day today. She still had some peek through headaches but we are keeping them under control with medicine as needed. She is also noticing a little more difficulty waking which is disturbing her a bit. It’s so hard for me to explain to her exactly what is going on. I have promised her from the very beginning that I will always be honest with her. She is allowed to ask any question she has and I will do my best to answer it.
One of the most amazing things God has done is grant me words to answer those questions in a positive light. I refuse to speak negatively or cultivate a spirit of fear. We serve a mighty God – whom shall we fear? And truly, when has fear ever helped in a situation like this? Fear cripples us, panic debilitates us, grief freezes us. Who needs that? Not me. Not Kayleigh. So, I speak truth, but I speak truth through the eyes of Jesus – the one who has already conquered death. The one that already knows how the story ends. The ultimate victor. And you know what? That truth is always full of good news.
My prayer is that I will be able to instill in Kayleigh, Grace and Cole that knowledge of hope and a working picture of faith in action. I pray they will experience it for themselves and find themselves walking closely with Jesus. These three blessings are my greatest mission field. And I pray in the meanwhile that God will continue to work on me, tearing down the messes I’ve built over the years replacing it with what He would have me to be.
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Until tomorrow,
