Aug. 25, 2009~ Today's Verse Said It So Well ~
Tuesday August 25, 2009
Today's Verse:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
The part that said ..."let us run with patience the race that is set before us." That is a good reminder of how we are to run the race.( living our life for God) We have a destination and we have to keep our eyes on it no matter what. We may have injuries, get tired, fall during our race to the end but if we keep our eyes on the prize ( heaven with our Lord) it makes everything else doable. We need to know that in the race we are not running it alone. God is the biggest cheerleader ever and he will come along side us and give us what we need. Just like someone in a running race will give the runner water and a word of encouragement during the run. I have learned to look for God's hand in what ever the circumstance is. I see this time how fast Philip was taken care of and put in a wonderful hospital with such WONDERFUL care. I praise the Lord that even in the storm he gives us something solid to hold on to and brings us to safety.
.
I will update as soon as I hear the results of Philips tests.
Thank you again for ALL the prayers and words of encouragement.

"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
My oldest ds Philip was flown to Childrens Hostpital yesterday afternoon. He has not been feeling well for a couple of weeks and had no appitite. But Friday he started getting nose bleeds, Sat. he coughed up blood, late Sat./early Sunday he had blood blisters in his mouth. Handsome rushed him off to emergency and by 1pm the hostpital flew him and Handsome to Childrens Hostpital in Vancover.
.
His body is attacking his blood plateletes. A person normally has over 300 count but he had almost 0 yesterday. They gave him platelettes before he was taken to the coast but his body by that night had attacked them and he had none. Last night they were giving him blood protien to try to trick his body so it wouldn't attack the platelettes. I have not heard anything yet this morning.
.
Yesterday family and friends gathered around us if it be in person or in prayer chains. I cannot thank you enough for all the notes of encouragement. I have been having small bouts of weepiness but over all I am doing well in spirits. We can feel all the prayer and it has been such strength. I am sooooooo very thankful that I am a Christian and I can lean on my God and know that all is in His hands and that God is in control of the curve ball that we have gotten. I have seen God's hand in all the good care that has been sooooo good. Philip has not lacked in care at all. The doctors and nurses have been top notch and a gift.
.
I am just tired from all the waves of emotions. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
.
Update
I have been updated that the doctors are leaning towards that is mono and are giving treatments to bring up his platelettes count up. They will know more tomorrow from the tests. Please keep praying that the treatments keep going well.
