L*I*F*E

I really have been in a funk here lately! For all who know me, I am usually a happy, encouraging,and pretty silly person! Well, for Jason, who has been living with me, I have not been so pleasant to be around. I am glad he vowed for better or worse because it has definitely been worse around our house. I feel Satan is really trying to get to me! It has been an emotional few months, but I seemed to rebound with God's help from each obstacle. Until now! First, Jolie had her EEG. Then, Jake had surgery. All that went smoothly. We coasted through all that with God's hands wrapped around us. (Which they never leave us... I know!) Then, I don't know what happened really every little thing just started getting to me! I dropped a large glass tea pitcher and it broke in half. Which ended up with a trip to Direct Care for 8 stitches in my knee. All this right before Jake's last regular season ball game and swim party at OUR house. I made it to part of the game and continued on with the party. Then, we finally got the results from Jolie's EEG in MAY on June 21st. The office had actually had them there since June 7th and did not know they had them!!!! The worst part was that the test results were ABNORMAL!!!!!!! I just cried and cried on the phone with the nurse. Thank goodness she is so kind. I got off the phone and called Jason. I just felt I was in a hole, could not get up, and that was the final load being poured in on top of me!  That afternoon I shattered the glass on my iPhone. I know that is nothing major, but that just added to my funk!  The next morning I got a call from Texas Child Neurology. That afternoon we had an email with all the information for an appointment next week!!! She will have to have another sleep deprived EEG. Then, we will see the dr right after that.

My mom sent me these verses the day we found out the test results.....

“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears” Psalm 34:4

“Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am you God.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”  Isaiah 41:10

I needed to hear those words desperately!!!! I will replay those words often in the upcoming days!!! If you could pray for us during these unknown days we would really appreciate it. As I write this I am feeling much better today. I am really looking forward to a date with my honey tonight. :) With much love, Jenn
