Still

I know that I wrote in our last blog update that we were discouraged.  It's just been a long few months that has reminded us of how desperately we need Jesus.  God is very clear that life may not be easy.  (John 16:33)  In fact, we are to count it as joy when we have trials.  (James 1:2)  Talking to some of you has given us a renewed strength that we are not alone.  Many of you pray daily and continue to ask us how she is doing...and take such an interest in her because you love our daughter too.  And we are grateful.  Forever grateful that you care for our daughter so deeply.  But more than that, we have an amazing Creator who formed Mia just as she is.  He knew before the world began what her life would look like.  He knew yours too.  And He loves each of us more than we can imagine.  Yes, life is not always pretty.  Sometimes we have to go through rough stuff, but we don't have to go alone.  We have a God who wants to carry us each step of the way. 

This week we have still had seizures.  I'm less discouraged and more hopeful this week.  I trust God completely.  At this point, we just have to daily give it over to Him.  He's blessed us with doctors who are great and who care for Mia.  We continue to pray for wisdom over their direction with medications, but ultimately we trust God for her care.
