What Seems Impossible

This week, we celebrated a milestone.  It has been two years since Megan had a portion of her brain removed in brain surgery.  When we were presented with the option of brain surgery, it was a last resort.  We were praying for healing and trusting that God knew what was best for our daughter.  After praying, we felt brain surgery was the way God was directing her.  We had an amazing brain surgeon who gave her such amazing care.  He had only been at the hospital a few years, but we knew God had brought him there for Megan.  As Megan went through brain probes directly on her brain to map the seizure activity, she stayed strong and full of faith.  We even recorded a video of her singing, just in case she was unable to sing again.  As many know, she not only is able to sing, but sings every Sunday on the worship team.  God was faithful.  I was told that as we recorded the video, nurses were touched and were crying in the hallway.  Megan continued to witness to her nurses, doctors, and anyone who would listen about God's goodness and faithfulness.  During the mapping, she had a particularly big seizure that caused her to lose all control of her body.  For the first time, she saw everything happening to her.  This terrified her, but she still kept the faith.  After the surgery, her doctors mentioned how amazing her recovery has been.  We are now two years after her brain surgery, and she got her driver's license.  This was something we thought would be impossible.  With God, all things are possible!  If you are going through a hard time and are in an impossible situation, trust God.  The path He takes you on may not be what you would have chosen, but it will be the best path.  Stay faithful to God because He will not let you down!

Have a great week high-heeled warriors!

What Is Love? Loving When It's Hard.

  I want to start by saying this has been one of the most straining weeks my husband and I have experienced in a while. As many know, my husband's father nearly passed away this week. He has been sick for a few weeks. My husband had a feeling, prompted by the Holy Spirit, that he needed to get his dad to the hospital on Sunday evening. His dad had a doctor's appointment for Tuesday, but he felt like it needed to be right away. He was admitted into the hospital, and by Wednesday, his dad had sepsis. The doctors gave his dad eight hours to live. We watched his pulse and blood pressure plummet and waited for the inevitable. Meanwhile, we prayed that God would move. A miracle occurred, and he began to improve. He has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on his own with a steady blood pressure. During all of this, my husband and I celebrated our 27th anniversary. Neither of us had hardly any sleep the first 24 hours. My husband only had 3 hours of sleep for 72 hours, so ...

Update: My Daughter's Latest EEG Six Years This Week After Brain Surgery

Image
  A couple of weeks ago, I went with my daughter to her yearly neurologist appointment. They have slowly been lowering her seizure medication. It's easy to worry after all that we've been through, but as we visited the bathroom in the waiting room, we had a little reminder to trust God. There on the paper towel dispenser was a little Jesus. It reminded us He's always with us, even in hard times. The neurologist wanted to do a new EEG. The last one was a couple of years ago and was inconclusive. We scheduled the new EEG for last week. After prayer and remembering Jesus is with us, we went. She received the results the next day. No seizure or abnormal activity! Every year that passes is good news. We are so thankful that God is faithful, and Jesus is always with us! Have a great week high-heeled warriors!

Ready to Die?

  We celebrated the home coming of one of the longest-attending members of our church. I've been to funerals that were extremely sad, and I've found that I'm an empathetic cryer. I attended a funeral with a friend. I didn't know the deceased, but as we walked by the casket at the end of the funeral, I messy cried. As I heard and saw the family crying, I couldn't help it. I've been asked to sing in a lot of funerals. This empathetic crying has made it difficult to sing. A few years ago, I mentioned to a couple of friends about my messy crying and worried about losing my composure during the song. The husband had shoulder surgery the day before and was on some really strong pain killers. As I sat behind the piano and looked out at the crowd, he smiled extremely big in his painkiller-induced state and gave me a very visible thumbs up sign. At that point, I struggled not to laugh. Crying was forgotten. I say all of this because this weekend, I was preparing for cry...
