Monday, November 24: Today marks six months since Dane’s accident. I know we are a long way from May 24th. Today also marks the day that Dane returned to school with somewhat of a normal schedule. He had lunch today at the Junior High Cafeteria for the first time. He took a test and rocked it. The aide told me that he only took about 10 minutes to complete the test. He did it by himself. Just like his “normal life” as he calls it. Thank you to all who prayed for his test today. Such a victory for us. I am so proud of his endurance. I am so grateful for the tenacity he has. Tonight, he helped me get started on Thanksgiving cooking by helping to make the pumpkin pies. He is always great to want to help in the kitchen and he has resumed that task. As I consider the last six months, I have had to consider the absolute change in our lives. This has been life altering. Truly, but in ways I never expected. People will say to me “God will not give you more than you can handle” But I would like to speak to that in love and in truth. The truth is, yes He will as the Bible does not say that. BUT, He will not give you more than HE can handle. When scripture speaks of this is it talking temptation, not struggles. I have never doubted the Lord in my life and I always knew I could count on Him. But I was never, in such a way, required to prove that. Not until May 24th. The Lord allowed us to be in a place where our ONLY hope was Him. The scripture – Hide beneath the shadow of His wings until these calamities have passed away – that’s where we were. He was our strong tower, shelter over us. He is our Deliverer, and faithful – so faithful. As we continually cried out to the Lord – He showed Himself in a big way. And while the last six months have been hard, exhausting, and emotional, it has also been the most blessed time in our lives. So I consider how much love the Lord has shown us these past 6 months, how much more will we receive in Heaven? God is awesome, magnificent, loving. I am humbled and thankful. Thankful that no matter what is handed to us in life – because “God’s got this” as my friend, Shenna says. “but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love” Psalms 147:11 Glory to God…..Sunday’s coming……..
