Oh come.. Adore Him!

We have been so blessed throughout the last 4 weeks to see so much improvement in the health of Alisha! We are seeing her "Drop off's" disappear and her headaches have greatly improved! She has been able to go to school this week without coming home a wreck!! She is able to do her work and even did homework this week! When you look in her eyes you see more of the healthy Alisha that we have always known! We praise God for his healing in our lives! Like people say hind sight is always the best sight! As I begin to look back I have to be honest, that I still don't know why she had to go through this, but I do know that God has really worked in our family! This has caused us to be aware of all that we have to be thankful for! Even the younger kids are more appreciative of the things we would typically take for granted! A few days ago Abby Lynn came down with a bug and she was so sweet as she sat on the couch and we talked about being so thankful that she would be better in a matter of hours! She said she was thankful that she was sick before Christmas, instead of during the fun family gatherings! I sat back and thought of how grateful I am for the Lord using a lack of health to remind even my 8 year old that we are so greatly blessed!  This is the type of thinking as Christians we are supposed to have! We are supposed to have Peace and Joy, not because everything is perfect, but because we have been thankful in everything and allowed our Lord to keep our hearts and minds!! (Phil. 4:6) My heart bows in adoration of a Savior who loves us enough to allow times in our lives that will purify us and make us more like His son!
