Encouragement through friendship

July 11^th

 

Stella Update: The doctors just came in and they want to do an echocardiogram on her heart . They feel she should have stabilized her breathing by now. They do not believe anything will turn up, but they want to be safe. She is still desating in the mid 80s to low 90s when they take her oxygen levels down. So she is going to do a fun test today and we will see what comes of it all. Thanks for the continued prayers and encouragement. She's eating better and still pooping well (thank goodness) so we still have made lots of progress. 

Today Stella and I were visited by two of my good friends, Anna Teale and Jen Jensen. We went to a little hole in the wall joint for lunch and had a few good laughs. I am once again reminded of the importance of friendship. When you are going through tough times, God provides friends and family to encourage you and help you make it through the tough times with a little less wear and tear on your soul. It's amazing how an act of kindness can provide healing and offer the sustaining grace of Christ through hope in a better tomorrow. I'm so thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ. May God use me to help those in times where they cannot see His hand or feel His touch. May I provide prayer for those who are not strong enough to pray and encourage with comfort and laughter to brighten their gloomy days.
