Days like today I have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I am a sinner loved by a gracious God who unselfishly died for me. This life is not my own.
This journey is not always an easy one or one full of certainty but I thankfully always have Christ as my never failing rock to sustain me. And I am so thankful for my wonderful husband and wouldn't want to take this crazy journey with anyone else by my side.
We have lots of good and bad days but never seem to stay on a clear path for what is the best next step for Arwen's medical journey. I really try to do my research, know the new techniques/medicines, get the right therapies for her, ect. But if I am trying to do it on my own without my faith held firm in God and look to Him for true guidance then I am just going to get beaten down and go nowhere. I cannot do anything on my own and I am thankful for that because I am a very weak sinner with control issues lol.
I cant tell you how much I appreciate our supportive sb group. They continue to help love on us, give supportive feedback, and help us try to figure out our everyday sb needs.
Needless to say today was one of those ah ha moments. At my breaking point of what do I do next?? Then the Holy Spirit convicted me that I was once again looking to the world and myself for the answers and not Christ. I pray my heart would be honoring to God as I daily struggle on this journey as Arwen's mother who loves her and wants the best for her. Also knowing only because Jesus Christ died for her and that she is dearly loved by our awesome Savior can I find true comfort.
Please continue to pray for Arwen and us as we seek to to find the best options for her health. PTL her MRI got moved up to next Tuesday, but also sad daddy can't be there with us. We are praying for good results but also hope it provides some answers to the off and on pain she has been struggling with since January.
Thank you once again for your love, prayers, and support.
Continuing to pray...
