Our Family's Journey with Christ

We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. See that no one repays evil for evil, but alway see after that which is good for one another and for all people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-16

Blessed to serve an awesome GOD!

This is a week that I can see God's hand is so evident in our lives. I am overjoyed to report that we had a 30 hour period of time that the LORD allowed Eli to be seizure free!!!!! We went from a seizure every minute to every ten minutes by lunchtime. After nap time he was seizure FREE!!! It was beautiful. God was amazing! We had our little boy back. Playing, laughing, crying, jumping, spinning....all that a 4 year old boy should be. The break in seizures was a welcome relief. It was so fun to see Eli and Samuel play like little brothers. Of course Kylie was rightly annoyed due to the increased pestering she endured. Even in that, there was joy. To GOD be the GLORY!!
The freedom from seizures was somewhat short-lived. By Wednesday night we were starting to see a few atypical absence seizures and slight myoclonic seizures. Today they have resumed seizure activity as normal, however they are not as frequent. He is having about ten an hour....very much a relief from the past two weeks. This evening seizures were few and far between. He is able to play more and have an altogether better quality of life! What an amazing GOD we serve...gracious and kind. Loving us all the way! What a gift he allowed us to have in those 30 or so hours. He (God) is teaching us so much and we are so thankful.
On another note, Samuel is getting really good at this potty thing! Yeah!! He is my comic relief.
Kylie is getting so big. She is so helpful and kind. God knew I would need her.

Wherever there is a hurt or a struggle God is in it and is looking favorably on those who abide in Him. Have you ever seen a rainbow while it is still raining? I have! It means that the rain will soon be over and the sun will shine again. Well, I see that sun shining. As much as I want this storm of life to end....I want it to be God's timing......cause in His timing everything is perfect and beautiful.
