I have
been going through the book of Psalms taking a close look at God's
declared works and attributes. "The lifter of my head" was one such
quality. The other that has been striking to me is the declaration that
"God is My Inheritance."
That sentiment aligns so well
with how Anna is doing, how i am doing. The very night i sent out the
last e-mail of our enduring: anna's latest sickness, my fatigue and
wishing to never suction again, God has taken over. Anna hasn't needed
suctioning since that night. In fact she is well and needing minimal
nightly intervention for the last four nights. Our wednesday night nurse
was bored having finished her book ahead of pace because Anna has been
such a good sleeper.
The Holy Spirit has been addressing
my sin issues of pride and selfishness at work, i have found myself
apologizing for my frustrations and rerouting my relationships in the
Light of Christ's path. I have been repeating "in this world you will
have trouble, but be of good cheer for i have overcome the world."
-Jesus.
I didn't want my last e-mail to linger in your
minds without an accounting for all the answers to prayer we have been
seeing. Following Jesus with Anna amid a world of able children might
seem like how the Levites felt when God split up the Promised Land among
the twelve tribes and then saying to them: I will be your inheritance
no land is set apart for you. we don't get what everyone got, we didn't
get what we hoped to get when we first set out to become parents. God in
His Sovereignty saw it fit for us raise Anna, ours is a hope in the
returning of our Lord and Savior knowing that Anna will be full healed
today, in the days to come, or on On that Day.
Whatever
Christians go through: in need, wanting, or in plenty we have a life
that depends on God for all eternity. We can do nothing on our own.
Thanks for waiting with us, for this in Chirst Jesus our Inheritance is Glorious Him
