Turn to God

I was at church today, and the minister was talking on how to deal with times of crisis. Although the topic was geared more toward economic crisis, it was evident that the principles could be applied to any type of crisis. There are a few things that stood out in his message to me.

The minister stated that if we have faith, then we are not dependent on a worldly source to provide for us. He also said that in a time of crisis that we should turn more to God. These two statements immediately struck a nerve with me because I was agitated by some of the reports given by the doctors initially regarding my wife's condition. I was keying on the diagnosis they were making, and not listening to God's word. The situation that we are living in is not what God will deliver us to, but merely what it is.

My wife's condition has continued to improve each day. She is no longer running a fever, and the swelling from the surgery is greatly reduced. She is starting to respond to our voices, and even smiled at her mom and me yesterday. It won't be very long now before we are all home again. Thank you all for the prayers, and keep lifting up all the families who are going through a crisis. We can't put our guards down when we think we are in the clear.

Tomorrow will be the girls first day at home. I am very excited about that. I plan to get video of them leaving the hospital, and arriving at our house.
