Just a quick update! I called at 6am and chatted with the nurse for a moment. She said that Steve is doing great, he is OPENING his EYES when she calls his name and responding to stimulation!!! This is amazing! My prayer focus today is punching through the fog, tearing of the veil that Steve is trying so hard to break through to be with us.
It can be so difficult staying in the Peace of The Lord with all the medical words and scenarios being listed as well as my own knowledge of what could be and what the future may look like. I find when the thought crosses my mind about future, I have to hear a verse, say a verse or turn on worship music in order to guard my thoughts. I know from past experience that The Lord is with us and is carrying us through this. He knows my worst fears and is gently taking me through each. I liken it to a little girl who is extremely fearful of dogs because of a bad experience. The Lord is holding my hand, walking me right up to that scary dog and helping me to reach out, touch, examine and see that even though it may look or even is scary, that He is holding me through it. I feel held as I walk up to each one of my fears and strengthened when I know that I am not alone and that no matter what, he is walking with me and sometimes carrying me when I can't walk. He is healing me as He is healing Steve. It is an act of worship to choose to trust in God's ways, timing and even His will. I know full well the earthly possibilities, I keep them in a cloud off to the side. I refuse to enter into them, to rehearse the dark what-ifs. When I choose to climb into my Abba Father's lap and give him my fears, I am washed in His peace and love. This is a discipline. Sometimes it is a moment by moment, sometimes just here and there. I need to be on guard and constantly filling myself with prayer, His word and worship music. I keep going back to this verse in Isaiah that has proven so true in past battles and especially in this one:
Isaiah 26:3 AMP
