Life has been frustrating, hard, and VERY tiring lately for our family.. On Friday it will be 6 weeks since we took Trent into the hospital and 6 weeks since we have been there. It is such a joke, I am TOO tired and emotional to write what is going on... please please continue to pray for Trent and our Family- we have appreciated your LOVE and support:
"There are three parts to the plan. You are in the second or the middle part, the one in which you will be tested by temptation, by trials, perhaps by tragedy......
"Remember this! The line 'And they all lived happily ever after' is never written into the second act [of a play]. That line belongs in the third act, when the mysteries are solved and everything is put right. ....
"Until you have a broad perspective of the eternal nature of [the plan], you won't make much sense out of the inequities in life. Some are born with so little and others with so much. Some are born in poverty, with handicaps, with death, even innocent children. There are the brutal, unforgiving forces of nature and the brutality of man to man. We have seen a lot of that recently.
"Do not suppose that God willfully causes that which, for His own purposes, he permits. When you know the plan and the purpose of it all, even these things will manifest a loving Father in Heaven" (The Play and the plan [satellite broadcast, 7 May 1995], 1-2).

Hang in there! XOXOXO
Wish I could give you a hug. Not that it would change anything! This Lord's time table is the hardest part. Major ditto on the Hang in there.
I hope that your family can find some sense of peace in this mess. It is always hard to see a loved one go through something so difficult. You have a strong family and will get through whatever the Lord has planned for your brother. My prayers are with him and your family.
