Tyler siting...

This photo was taken recently at a formal event at Daystar University. 

We haven't talked to Tyler for a few weeks. I was beginning to get worried. But, he posted a new blog entry about the groundbreaking ceremony at the Children's home. You can read it here. 
I hadn't seen a picture of him since he left in early December. It was so good to see a photo of him. It reassures me that he is doing well.

Is God's arm too short?

It is one of those days where about all I can do is go through the motions. I am aware of every breath I take...each one feels labored..yet, I am alive. I have found a sense of peace through out this day that has come and gone. That sense of peace followed by panic again for a moment..just like breathing, I breath in and I breath out. It is about all I can do these days. With each breath in, I have focused on the blessings in my life...the joys surrounding me. With each exhaled breath. I remind myself that God is good and His ways are not our ways..that His timing is perfect, and He loves us beyond words can express.

I am just hanging on. There is so much going on that is so intensely overwhelming. Maisy has her pacemaker replaced next week. Kaden has dental work under anesthesia. Another child diagnosed with depression this week. My diabetes is a constant struggle. So much going on. I think of what it is like for my kids who have FASD and get overwhelmed and shut down so easily. I can handle a lot...I get overwhelmed but than I can work through it. Not this time..and God is giving me a better understanding of what my kids go through each day.

He is taking care of all the details. I know it. My confidence is in Him. I tell myself to take each day as it comes...that His mercies are new every morning. Is God's arm too short? I love that verse...it always makes me laugh. His arm is not too short...and I will place my trust in Him.
