I loved my sister's entry. The thought of Noah building an ark for 120 with no rain and no one ever seeing a boat before makes me realize that my struggle is very short in comparison. God was faithful to Noah and he will be to Kole too.
I just want to tell you how special God is to us. Some may look at Kole and think that God has not been faithful. I know I have been there a couple of times myself, but then I realize that he never has left us high and dry. Kole will have some symptoms like his eyes wondering, his legs hurting, or he won't eat but through it all God always takes the pains away and answers. I sometimes get frustrated that He is still having symptoms. Through God's grace He forgives me for my doubt but I see God working through Kole everyday. Today, Kole was lethargic and just did not want to eat. We prayed and we believe in God's faithfulness. Kole is now playing outside and playing with Legos. It thrills me to see him be a 5 year old again.
You know it is so cool that God understands our struggles and His grace forgives me when I get upset with Him. I started out the day so upset and depressed but God sent his love and peace over me. I love Him so much. I thank him everyday for all the miracles He performs on Kole.
By the way, I have to tell you how blessed my family is. We are in the midst of painting our house. With Kole's episodes and me being pregnant it would have been hard for us to get the painting done. We are so blessed by so many people willing to help us. My school has planned to come and paint on Saturday. Others who are unable to come on Saturday are helping on Friday night, making desserts, providing drinks, or money for the pizza. We are so blessed. God has blessed us with incredible people who are willing to sacrifice for us in our time of need. Another family of sisters from my church are also wanting to help us. And of course I cannot forget about my fabulous in-laws who do so much for us. They need to pack for a vacation on Monday but instead they are helping us paint. I just want to thank you all for all of your help. And of course I know this is all from the glorious God above.
God bless you all.
