Holding Fast

Here we are beginning another week, and all I can say is that God is still walking beside us.

There's a song by Mercy Me that speaks about trials and how we need to "hold fast" to the promises of God in the midst of them. It begins, "To everyone who's hurting; to those who've had enough...please do not let go, I promise you there's hope. Hold fast, help is on the way; Hold fast, He's come to save the day." He's all we have to hold on to, and He's gotten us through each day since we returned from the ER last week. Thank God for His favor and mercy.

I'm sure it looks bad from the outside, but we still have hope in God; in Christ. He knows the number of our days, and He has a plan for our lives. Based on everything He's told us, we simply believe He will turn this around at the appropriate time...when that last person hears Jeseca's story and comes to know God because of it. We choose to think He's getting the biggest bang for the buck.

In the meantime, I can't wait to begin a new chapter in our lives when she is fully healed. She wants to use the talent God's given her to be a great artist. I know she will.

One last thought...I hope to begin broadcasting small video blog updates on Jes. She'll hate being on camera, but it will be fun. Stay tuned.

Thank God the Colts won!
