Over the past month, our world has been overwhelmed. Terra's dad had a hemmoradic (spelling?) stroke which has affected his memory, hearing, right side, and his speech. He sounds the same, but the words he uses are not always right. He may or may not remember your name or his grandkids' names. We will not know what is permanent for at least another month or possibly as much as 3. The blood from the bleeding on his brain has to be absorbed by the body.
The reality that we as a family are dealing with the possibility of permanent damage which causes fear and stress, especially on Terra, her sisters, and her mom. What will we do? Will things ever be the same? What will Terra's mom do with trying to run a daycare and taking care of him? We face a lot of uncertainty on our end. BUT . . . .
This has not caught God off-guard. He is on His throne and in control. Somehow this will bring Him glory. The issue I face is how do I help my wife? How do I help my family? What if he is never the same? And the question that lies in the room like the elephant that no one wants to talk about is WHY??????? I am around these type of things enough to know that we may never know. But my human nature still screams out wanting answers.
Would you (the few who may read this) pray for him and pray for Terra's mom? And would you ask the Lord to glorify Himself through this?
