more questions than answers

Greg’s doctor appointment yesterday really brought up more questions than answers. He has some problems in his neck; disks C6 and C7 appear to be broken down some and also pressing against the spinal cord. The doctor said that if he had had a past neck injury that could account for the damage he wouldn’t be worried, but since he hasn’t the doctor wants to test further to make sure we aren’t dealing with a degenerative disease. So this morning Greg is having a spinal tap and we will find out the results next Friday. Please Pray for Greg today and for us as we try not to worry.

Many people have noted that we have had a really rough year and I just wanted to mention something that has been rolling around in my head and I think I can finally put into words. I have always wondered if I had enough faith to get through really tough times. I realized something in those first early days in the hospital with Caleb, through times when we really didn’t know if he would make it or not. It really isn’t a matter of my faith at all. It is about God meeting us right were we are and leading us through things. It is about His strength and love. It really proves true the verse that says that in our weakness He is made strong. It really is His strength that helps us through each and everyday.
