June 5, 2021 Saturday early
Good morning! Early post, busy day! Today, angels from our Church are arriving to haul away furniture and things I am not taking with me to our new town home in Winchester. Some good enough for Tree of Life's furniture and clothing giveaway and some just needs to be tossed.
Steve had a very steady night, no changes in any meds and all his stats remained stable. The more steady and strong, stable times the more healing can occur and even though it is no change, I consider it a step forward. I know that there is much going on in the unseen and I marvel at how God created us. His hemoglobin is a little low again. They have checked all over for a bleed that would cause this, but they think it may be a kidney thing. It is a very gradual change in number, so it isn't significant, but, they are giving him a pint of blood. They hope that this will help keep his BP up so they can take fluid off as well as clean the blood during dialysis today.
I was thinking of all the cleaning. Nurse Wendy cleaning up my man, attention to the little things, dialysis cleaning his blood. The Church angels helping us clean out. When we clean, we wipe away and get rid of burdens. Toxins in Steve's blood are a burden on his body. Excess is a burden in our lives. We decided a few months ago, after Riley moved out, that even this smaller home we are in now is too big, so much space not being used. Of course that was precipitated by a sudden decision to move that turned out to be God's covering over me. There is no way I can take care of the house and 5 acres. What a blessing that God knew what was coming and provided for us a plan through all of this and provided yet another Church family who had a cute town house for us to move to. We are covered and held, so very blessed.
I have been feeling for several years that The Lord was doing a work in us by separating us from being tied to earthly things both emotionally and physically. Spiritually, He is also walking me through the many burdens I have been carrying, I didn't realize how heavy the weight of fears and lies I had come into agreement with were. Fears of ventilator, trach, or dialysis just lately and the lie that I wouldn't have enough provision or that I am not smart enough to learn the business or finances. These burdens were lying on my shoulders, heavy, but I didn't see them, they were normal to me. We were not made for burdens, spiritually or physically. Many understand the freeing feeling of getting rid of it, really cleaning out, not just organizing it. This also exposes what is underneath, and as we bring these things to the light they can be cleaned, or gotten rid of also. As we have less, there is less to worry about, less distractions, less negative conversation with myself (lol), and less expenses. Pruning isn't easy or painless. A lot of work is being done in my heart. I'm not sure what our path will be, but I know that these past few years have been a time of preparation and drawing us close to Him.
Psalm 81:6 “Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks.
John 15:1-4 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
Adam is doing great in rehab and is feeling like he should be home, but, we praise God that they are making sure that he is able to handle and do everything to be able to succeed, continue healing and thrive at home. Unfortunately, visitation is extremely strict at his facility. Please continue to pray for him, his family and Riley driving back and forth to DC. She said the drive is easy and feels safe there.
Prayer for Steve, BP and heart rate steady, continued trend in responsiveness and clarity, healing for his kidneys and brain.
So thankful his brother Brian was able to come out and spend time with him, and thankful for the many angels who are ministering to us in so many ways. Have a blessed day. I hope to update later, after my visit with Steve. Love you all.
