4 years ago today

Today marks the 4th anniversary of when David was admitted to the hospital. November 7th, 2009.  Here we are again, in this emotionally charged season, reliving so many details that you never want to remember, yet never want to forget. It really is quite strange. Our life right now is relatively calm. I'm grateful for the emotional energy we have to reflect on all that the Lord has done these past 4 years. It has been stuffed full of trials, leaving us overflowing with grace and joy on the other side.

Our little guys are obsessed with superheroes. So it was fitting for our family to embrace the power within this Halloween. The timing is funny. I'm thinking of the months to come and I can't help but sense the irony.

4 years later and Superman still can't feel his feet. The secret strength of this man astounds me daily. Chronic pain and chronic fatigue that would lay others out for weeks, it's got nothin' on Clark Kent. ;) The outside will fool you. There is power within. The Lord is equipping this man to live life, serve passionately and love his family selflessly. It cannot be explained apart from the power of the living God. 

While I'm no wonder woman, I have been supernaturally carried through these years. When I am done, powerless, and completely void of strength, the Lord has lifted me up. He has sustained me. 

Bring it on, November.
