Fighting Fire with Light

While my body aches and my heart is broken, my soul has peace. She has been made perfect.

God has been so good to me he gave me 3 years.

Phoebe’s surgery has been postponed until Monday. She had to get a torso/neck brace because of the injuries to the ligaments in the back of her neck. Her spine was not aligned properly and if put under anesthesia could have been paralyzed. Praising God that they saw it before they put her under.

You all have no idea how your words of encouragement and prayer chains are keeping us lifted up. We are not alone!

Every time Phoebe wakes up squirming and upset she wants me to place my hand on her heart, then she instantly falls back asleep. In my calm moments I feel God’s hand on my heart.

The longest and worst night of my life. All I could do was keep reading all of the amazing support from all of you. I love this precious girl.

I love my family. I love my father. I love my mother. I love our little girl Keren. I’m sad I miss them so much already. I can barely function for the pain.

God is good, He has not abandoned me.
He is here. He is with us.

In May of 2017, a horrendous car wreck took the life of my 3 year old daughter, Keren, my mother-in-law, Delores, and father-in-law, Delmer, and critically injured my 4 year old daughter, Phoebe, who turned 5 in the hospital 5 days later.  Phoebe has made a full recovery after enduring a ruptured spleen, air on her lungs, a severely broken arm/elbow, and neck/spinal injuries that, according to the doctors, are beyond scientific explanation that she survived.

Our world has been turned upside down but the one thing that gets us through is God.  He has never abandoned us and has constantly been our strength.  He has recently laid it upon my heart that I need to nourish my relationship with Him.  I have read devotionals and daily scriptures but I have neglected to get into the word myself and actively seek who God wants ME to be, according to His Word.  That is why I have started this blog.  To document my journey of growing closer to Him and, in doing so, I’m hoping to help others along the way find their way to God and what He wants for them too.

I’m going to begin this blog by archiving all of the Facebook posts that I have posted since the wreck.  Not the posts that show our everyday life, but the ones I have written that show my inner turmoil and the relief He has given me.

Thank you for coming on this journey with me.
