Tonight I feel pressured to write because I have been wanting to post for a while now. But now I feel uninspired to write something meaningful. Hmm. Well since my last post, my mom went back to the hospital and it was an extremely scary situation. But God is good and she is now in a rehab facility to build her strength back up. I am happy about this and praying it will keep her out of the hospital until she has to go back for her next surgery. A few things I learned from all of this 1: I am more surrounded by friends, prayers, and support than I ever could have imagined 2: my mom is a walking proof of God and his miracles 3: prayer works. During one of the rough spots, my moms blood pressure dropped to around 55/30. Our bible study was meeting and I had already been texting with one of the ladies so I texted her and told her what was going on. Unbeknownst to me, they stopped and prayed for my mom right then and her specific need. Within 2 minutes I would say her blood pressure came back up. Prayers answered almost immediately. Now I know this is not the norm but God is Good and provided his healing right then.
Also, my sister and her family are back in the states for their yearly visit home. I miss all of them more than words can say. I cant wait to spend some time with them not in a hospital setting. I want to know all about my niece and nephew and what their likes and interests are now. Things change so quickly with kiddos and I just want to know it all!!
I also have to tell you all that during this last 8-9 weeks that my mom has been sick or in the hospital, my husband has been my rock. He made it so I didnt have to worry about things at home. He was just there for me in ways I dont even think he knows. I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful and loving husband. I dont know what I would do without him and I dont want to know. I dont think I can say thank you enough to him.
So many people have helped us out so much during this time. I bought a stack of thank you notes to start writing. No one wants to go through these things but so much has come out of it. This has been a very rough few months. I hope and pray now we can start healing and moving forward (and get things back to normal ish). Eventually you get out of the fire so now I am looking for roses. =) Well roses and snow. I want one really good snow so my daughter can go play in it! No ice though. I'm not picky (or random) at all.
But seriously, we have been blessed throughout this time. Now I pray as we go forward and get things back on track that we can be a blessing to others.
