June 17, 2016… Josh’s surgeon had just visited the family to let us know that he was in recovery (only 2 hours later than expected and after much anxiety and anticipation).. I went down the elevators and out the double doors and just fell to my knees crying… and I heard the Lord say “it’s over”… boy, it didn’t feel like it and the days and weeks and months to follow were far from easy.. but, never did we step foot back into the ER after that third and final brain surgery. I remember all the warnings and “percentage rates” of complications rambled off to me at discharge, all the “what if’s” and “could be’s”… but GOD said “its over”… I’m just feeling so grateful tonight. And yet so foolish at the same time. It’s always easy to look around and find something to be upset about, something to bring sorrow.. but, my Lord and Savior never leaves us, he never fails us, he never lies to us and he loves us so much he moved heaven and earth for us. His ways are not our ways because HE is perfect. The seen and unseen – he knows.. The beauty that comes after the ashes he’s already painted. I know the world seems like it’s gone crazy and there’s so much pain and heartache in our lives. But He’s not done yet… thank you Jesus
