Today is the Day

Well if you've been following my blog for any length of time you've read about my sweet momma. We are going through a season that I wish we weren't. We all wish we weren't. But we are. So we are learning to deal.

We have been waiting for this test for about 2 months now. This is THE test. It's the one that gives us a life or death diagnosis. Can you imagine how my mom must feel this morning? She is handling this situation with more courage than just about anyone I know, but today is tough.

The test will be about six hours. Six hours spent doing all the things that she struggles with and frustrate her. I just wish I could take it for her. She's been dreading it for weeks. Even though this isn't a pass or fail test, in her mind this tests holds the answers to everything. The weight of the world is on her sweet shoulders this morning.

To add insult to injury, she was in a rough car wreck on Saturday afternoon. She is fine and it WAS NOT her fault which was a huge relief. A young girl ran a stop light  going about 45 and plowed into mom's car. Her car is totaled and her body is sore and bruised. She has a burn from the air bag and she was completely rocked. It scared her to death. It scared us all to death. But it could have been so much worse, so we are so grateful she is okay. It's in moments like that, when you get the phone call and are rushing to the scene of an accident that you have no idea what you will see, that you realize it doesn't matter if she reaches a point where she has no clue who I am, I will be beside her forever.

So today I'm asking you to pray. Pray for peace. Pray for strength. Pray for calm. Pray for my dad. While he is not a man that shows his emotions, this is a terrifying experience for him. Today is tough for all of us. Pray for my family. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe in miracles. But I also believe in a God who may not answer the way I wish he would, but he will give the strength for us to be overcomers in any situation.

For today we just pray. We won't have answers for a while ... but pray anyways. And thanks for praying. You have no idea what it means to have warriors fighting in our corner!
