God Leads Us

I have a calendar on my desk and today's inspiration is:

God leads us. God will do the right thing at the right time. And what a difference that makes.

I needed that today. There is a lot of stuff going on in our family's life right now that I won't address in this blog because it is too personal to speak of at this time. Our family is rock solid so don't read anything into that. It has to do with extended family in another part of the country that is in need of all our prayers. I thought this quote very appropriate for the situation.

When God works on problems in your life and you let go and let Him do it, it is amazing what happens.

I haven't mentioned it before but my big brother turned his life over to our Lord and Saviour quite some time ago and I just learned by nephew Brad just did the same. This is a big deal for protestants. My brother and I lost our mother 21 years ago to a heart attack, I'm sure she is in heaven with a huge smile on her face and very proud of all of us. Our father and step-mother are quite proud of all of us too.

A very dear friend of mine recently sent me this bible verse:
Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

The Cough is Back

The cough of a child with CF is like no other cough you will ever hear. It has its own unique sound and it is back. I hear her coughing all night. Finally gave in and put her on antibiotics. She was in the hospital this time last year. April is a tough month on our CF kids.

Prayers are needed for her.

Hannah's April Visit

Pretty uneventful visit. She is growing her usual h-flu and staph but for now we will just watch and try to avoid another round of antibiotics.

Her weight is good and her PFT's were great. We are trying to get her into some clinical trials but because of her liver disease she may not qualify for too many if any.
