I have been so busy worrying about David’s health that I
have not been able to think about or process anything else.
Just a couple of days ago I realized that since I just
started working in January, I have only accrued one sick day. I have already been absent for almost 3weeks
now. My school has been AMAZINGLY
supportive and understanding with the entire situation but unfortunately next payday
I will not be receiving a pay check.
The reality has begun to sink in that even though David and
Mommies world has somewhat come to a halt, the rest of the world continues on,
bills are still due. The thought of how
I am going to pay my mortgage and cover my bills has been extremely overwhelming
for me. I have had to just trust God to
provide because that’s all I can do right now, but to be honest the more the
bills pile up, the more I worry how God plans on providing.
I am a tough girl, who hates asking for help. Very few
people know about our current financial situation or what kind of bind this
hospital stay has put us in. I have and
probably always will be that person who is always trying to save the world and
am a very giving person, but I struggle to know how to be on the receiving end of
things.
Today was an emotionally overwhelming day and although, I
rejoiced that my son was being moved from ICU, I was also very discouraged and
hurt by the doctor’s words, and stressed about figuring out how to manage all
the bills with no income. After the
doctor upset me I left the hospital. I
went home to get some air, get some clothes, and look at the finances. As I
set in my office and began to weep, crying out to God. I recieved a phone call. I almost didn’t answer it but for some reason
I did.
It was David’s teacher.
He was calling to inform me that he works as an assistant coach at Gateway Community College

In the last couple of weeks I have experienced a world wind of emotions. Some of those have been very painful & hard to deal with! The human in me, has wanted to crumble on many occasions, but it is the love & kindness of family, friends, colleagues, & even perfect strangers who have kept me encouraged & lifted up in prayer. It is through that kindness that I have been able to feel God,s warm embrace, even in the midst of the storm! Words alone can not thank you enough, but know that I am so eternally grateful and will when given the opportunity "pay it forward".
