Stella
Update: Doctors made rounds and said her echocardiogram looks good (yay!) so
they ruled out cardio problems. So she just needs time to grow and get
stronger. They have not adjusted her oxygen any today but they will start doing
that soon. For now she needs to eat well, sleep, and grow. So we watch tv and
chill together. thanks for the continued prayers... We appreciate them so much!
Life
is too short. As I rock sweet Stella I can't help but think about the past 2
1/2 weeks. It's such a short period of time but life before her seems like a
distant memory. Since she has been born, everything I do revolves around her
and her needs. Soon we will be home and life will go on. The kids will grow, I
will go back to work, routines and day to day will continue. We are constantly
going and growing as we live and have community with each other. Life is too
short. So I am going to enjoy the moments I have and not rush to the next task.
I'm going to fill my life with people who live out love and show compassion
instead of selfish ambition and destructive behavior. For who you hang around
is who you become. Life is too short for bickering and complaining, so I will
choose to bless and celebrate. This experience has put many things into
perspective for me. I am assured who is in control and where strength that
sustains comes from. I know He has given me purpose and showed me how to
celebrate in all circumstances. I appreciate the depth of His love and truly
understand the power of prayer. He knows me and what I need. His life and
sacrifice revolved around His love for me. Life is too short and He is too
precious to take for granted. So I'm going to try to value my time, invest in
meaningful relationships, and explore the goodness of His love with reckless
abandon. Life is too short and I don't know about you, but I don't want to miss
it.
