Answers to Prayers

Thank you all for your prayers. I know that God hears us when we call out to him. And in His faithfulness, God has provided me some relief from my restless legs last night. Many of you told me that you had been praying, my Dad's church had a huge prayer meeting, my older sister reassured me of her prayers, and last night before Mom left, Ray, Mom and I had an awesome time of prayer. I know God honors and answers our cries. He is teaching us so much through this very difficult time. I never understood how much pain was in the world and how much we all need love and support. I am hoping and praying that God will give me the opportunity in the future to really minister to those in pain.

So, I started an Ibuprofen regimen yesterday. It is quite a bit of Ibuprofen, but I had no problems with my restless legs or my stomach yesterday or last night. I know the medicine is hard on my stomach, but it is so much better for my heart (and sanity) if I can sleep at night. :-)

My Mom and husband have been amazing through everything. Ray stays up with me every night and comforts me every time I cry. His love for me has just spoken to me about how God must love us. And my Mom is such a strength and comfort to me. Yesterday she took me out for a drive to get me out of the house. She showed me where she grew up and just drove me around for a few hours. Some how she just knew I needed a little break. She is wonderful.

Thanks to all of your for your thoughts and prayers. Also, a special apology to those of you that have called and have not received a call back. These last few weeks have been absolutely horrible for me and I have not felt up to doing anything. Please be patient with me as we are recovering, it has been tough. Thank you for being so thoughtful and loving.
