Journal Update 12/12 From Kristi

In God’s economy, the days of silence and stillness are just as powerful as the days filled with miracles and emotions. “Be still, and Know that He is God.” (Ps 46:10) We often measure the greatness of our lives based on God performing big works. But we couldn’t be further from the truth. “Thank You for these times of silence. Lord. Keep me still that I may KNOW You are still God.”

Today was a quiet day. Perhaps our hearts are at rest now that the Lord has opened the door for us. Thank you for quiet days, Lord.

So this is what our days look like:

1) Arrive at hospital... temps taken... Yay! We passed the Covid test!

2) Enter Zac’s room to see him grinning while doing his best to eat breakfast on his own. (Don’t mind the egg he dropped in his neck collar).

3) Physical Therapists arrive to get him in wheelchair. They love him. Zac works to prop himself up on an elbow. Not quite yet. Assist. Tripod balance. Biceps look Great!! Slide board to chair.

4) Zac cruises down the hall, doing his best to pump the wheelchair even as hands don’t have full grip. (I give him an extra push from the back -shh don’t tell)

5) A visit to the coffee shop. Back to the room for lunch. Then a visit to the outside garden. 2 hrs are up. Back to the room.

6) Back to bed. Exhausted. Praise music goes on, nap time.

7) Dinner arrives. The Chosen movie. Last episode tonight. (You’ve gotta watch it!)

8) Praise music on. Rich helps Zac works out his arms: pump those biceps, find those triceps. I stretch his legs, bend his knees, rub his feet, tickle his toes. Wake them, Lord.

9) Then we pray together. Rich prays, I pray, Zac prays. Tucked in bed, we say goodbye. God is good and He has been faithful

One. More. Day.

This was a still day, Lord. But we know You are God!
