Day 414 - August 4 - C ya!

Today went fairly well, although the schedule was a bit jacked up - I have early shifts all week to help accommodate doctor and dentist visits in the afternoons, which translates into less sleep and more work for Cherié since I'm up and out the door by 0500. That's also the reason I didn't blog this morning, by the way. Still and all, Connor and Cherié got through the day alright, and Josh and the boy caught a movie this afternoon.

He's struggling, folks. We all are, trying to carry on as we wait for the boy's healing. Trying to piece together some normality in this alien place. But God continues to see us through, and so we take another step.

So what am I thankful for today that begins with the letter "C"? Well, there are two obvious ones - Connor and Cherié (don't worry Joélle - J is coming!!). I am so thankful for both my wife and son, I could just spit. But I am also thankful for another "C" word -

"constancy"

As in

"the quality of being enduring and free from change or variation".

Why, you might ask? Well, I would point to one significant verse in Scripture, Hebrews 13:8 - "Jesus is the same yesterday, and today, and forever". And once I was done pointing, I would mention a particular fact; that in the gospel accounts of Jesus' ministry on earth, Jesus healed every single person who asked Him, believing. In person, in the body, in this life. He never played any word games about healing, He just healed. He never meant "someday in heaven you'll walk again" - He said "Get up, take up your mat, and walk". He never turned down a soul who came to Him for help. That's the Jesus I know, the Jesus I trust, the Jesus I rely on. Jesus, the Constant One.

Lord, come quickly. Help my unbelief. Glorify Your name. Stand up my son.

For Your glory,

So be it.
