God Is Still Providing!

On Friday, when I arrived at my desk there was an envelope marked Kathy and inside was a $50 gas gift card for Kimmie. What a blessing! There was no name enclosed just a note "keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers". Ever since Kevin became sick, God has provided for Kimmie and Maya in ways we could never imagine.

We are so grateful for all the wonderful donations and gifts for Maya, but most importantly we are grateful for the prayers and genuine concern people have shown our family. I believe years down the road, we will still be talking about the blessings and miracles that have taken place this past several weeks. It is such a miracle that Kevin has accomplished so much these past several weeks and we give God all the glory for keeping His healing hand on Kevin!

Someone asked me the other day, how do you keep going. I'm not going to say it's not a job, but I just kept thinking about the scripture "I can do all things through Jesus Christ" and believe me it's true!!

I've realized these past couple of weeks just how important my faith in the Lord is to me and how important it is for me to share my faith with my family and friends.

A couple of days after Kevin became sick, I was thinking to myself how difficult it would be to loose a child. Yes, I know Kevin is 33 but in our family it doesn't matter how old you are if you are one of our children and yes if you marry into our family you are consider one of our children too. I began to think of the Lord sending his Son to die to take on our sins and I've got to tell you, I wouldn't do that! It just made me realize how much the Lord did for me and how much He continues to do for me and my family!

One of our prayers is that the Lord will use this situation to change lives and draw people closer to Him. I believe this is already taking place. I should say, I know it is already taking place because I've seen it happen. I know personally, I find myself praying more and more through out the day and I've had so many people out of the blue come and talk to me about the Lord.

Maya is doing much better talking about her Daddy. She tells us when she gets bigger she is going to be able to use Daddy's tools. She hasn't cried missing Daddy in several days and she and her Papa have become buddies. She is eating better too. She is still very busy playing with all the new toys she received the other day. Her praying bear, Noah is still one of her favorite toys. I love that bear too!

Please continue to keep Kevin, Kimmie and Maya in your prayers because God is listening.
