Journal Entry 1/29 From Kristi

I had a dream last night that we went camping. And I was anxious, fretting over how I was gonna wheel Zacs chair through the gravel...

I woke up wondering how in the world do we navigate life on wheels? Admittedly, the day did not start off so well. I began to sink and the tears began to flow.

But I’m beginning to realize something. My tears come when I say “what if.... ?” Because I don’t know the answers. And the details of the future are not certain.

But EVERY time, I find God‘s word the answer to each uncertainty. Every time.

“I will provide for you.” Phil 4:19

“I have heard your prayers and seen your tears. I will heal you.” 2 Kings 20:5

“I will be your strength.” Is 40:29

“Trust in Me; I will make your paths straight.” Prov. 3:5-6

And then suddenly there is no “What If” question. God’s Word becomes a fact that cannot be challenged. God‘s Word changes everything. My BELIEF in God‘s Word changes me. For if by faith we have been saved, then by faith we must be sustained.

Boot Camp was in full swing today.

8 am therapy session on how to get dressed, 9 am how to navigate curbs in a wheelchair, 10 am workout in Peak Center, 11 am Electric Stimulation Bikes, 1 pm Acupuncture, 2 pm Triceps Electronic Stimulation, 3:30 Standing Frame...

Zac is working so hard. He is getting stronger each day. Fingers and toes are trembling slightly, triceps are coming back, balance is improving, his countenance is joyful, he can still beat me in arm wrestling with his huge biceps... much to celebrate each day.

So I’ll praise you, God, for today. Teach me to leave the What If’s out of my vocabulary. There is no uncertainty in following You. You already have a plan.
