I am not sure what day it is!

The week has been full! Several doctor appointments for Popa and I. Some of the news was not good, I am so glad the doctors are not in control of our destiny. It is hard not to get caught up in their diagnosis. I keep saying that we trust God and that HE is our only hope. This is truth....help me to buy truth for myself, Lord. Our family has been sick for the last month now. 1st one daughter and her children and now Popa, myself, eldest daughter and her three children, along with baby daughter, her husband, and their two sons. Middle daughter and her husband have escaped thus far. I know I must be sick, my children have needed my help this week and I find myself unable to muster the strength to provide the help they need. Surely, God will raise us all up again and reverse our current situation. An old friend showed up yesterday unannounced, she heard the doctor's report on Popa and decided to spend a couple of hours with me. It was a wonderful respite! Thank You, God, for sending someone to town for another reason and yet I benefitted from her trip. You are an awesome God, no doubt about it, I will rejoice and be glad in your faithfulness and goodness. Much is not said about how to traverse through a fatal diagnosis, but I can tell you almost 15 years into Popa's illness I could write a book. He has lived 12 years past their longest predicitions, not without complications and some very difficult days...yet here we are. Only God can make a way where there seems to be no way! Boy, am I glad Popa and I are known personally by HIM! Take heart my family and friends, encourage one another today in the Lord!
