Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

A Woman's Steps Are Guided By The Lord

I was racing against the clock today trying to fit in some errands, visit my cousin Lee in a nursing home in a nearby town and get home in time to make Hu's lunch.  Although I shouldn't be surprised, it is always eye-opening when the Lord does something special for me. 

When I got to the nursing home I had something I needed to leave in the director's office.  Realizing it would take time from my visit with Lee, I considered leaving it in the car.  Instead, I decided to take it in with me.  Lee wasn't in his room.  As he is a social person, it is sometimes quite the time-consuming search to find him.  I decided to go to the director's office and leave my package, and who was sitting in the waiting area but Lee.  I felt blessed because the Lord knew my time constraints, and that is the last place I would have thought to look for him.  My mother would call that a "God sighting".

Hu continues to make minimal progress.  His wounds are almost healed, but he lacks stamina and breathing comes hard.  Although everyone is different we recently ran into a friend whose wife had a surgery similar to one of Hu's and he said that her breathing became easier as time progressed.  That was an encouragement to us.  Another God sighting!

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.  Psalm 37:23-24
