‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63:1‭-‬11‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ [1] God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water. [2] So have I seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and glory. [3] Because Your favor is better than life, My lips will praise You. [4] So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. [5] My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. [6] ¶When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, [7] For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. [8] My soul clings to You; Your right hand takes hold of me. [9] ¶But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth. [10] They will be turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes. [11] But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:3‭-‬7‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ [3] He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. [4] He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.

[7] ¶Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre; ❤️🙏🏻Prayer Request: We know our God is bigger and greater than all things and we can bring to Him all of our requests, but the current prayer request that weighs heavy on our hearts tonight is a tragedy of the loss of a close young friend tonight. Please be lifting his loving family up in prayer, that they would be surrounded by God's presence and drawn closer to Him in it all. ❤️ Thank you for joining us in prayer.

‭‭James‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬ Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. We had a wonderful "coming home away from home" party last night!

Dad's been discharged from Inpatient Rehabilitation to home (for now) at Castle View with us! Praise God for the ways He continues to work in it all!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lots of preparations today for Dad to come to Castle View! Mom is all moved in and settled tonight and we're so excited and in awe of what God has done in just one month. Death to life in HIM!! We are so grateful for the hope we have in Christ! It's what sees us through each day. Isn't that the hope He offers each of us daily in Him? For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 NASB2020 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NASB2020 ❤️ From Dad: Looking forward to seeing everyone and for sharing "HIS story". ❤️🎉🙌🏻 Praises: All of the large and small ways God has worked in and prepared a way in this f

I'm alive and have a wonderful, faithful, loving family! ❤️ Pray things continue to improve for His glory!  🎉🙌🏻 Praises:   PT and OT were very helpful and they have done a great job with Dad at Carthage. They answered a lot of questions and put us all at ease about going home. The team at WHA & others Dad works/interacts with there (Dad's boss, coworkers, everyone!) has been so phenomenal!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 the l

He had a really great day and a bunch of visitors again! Therapy, doctor and social worker are all discussing likely discharge for Friday this week! He continues to amaze all in his progress. Praise and glory to God! ❤️🎉🎉🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For the sake of His name. ¶Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 23:1‭-‬6 NASB2020

And looking at them, Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26 NASB2020 https://bible.com/bible/2692/mat.19.26.NASB2020 For nothing will be impossible with God." Luke 1:37 NASB2020

Dad did the bike in the gym for just over 10 minutes with some resistance. Wheelchair back (used feet to peddle some).  🗒️Other Updates: Then I took Dad outside. We were probably  for about 30 minutes to get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful day. So nice but he was really tired. I was able to support transferring him to bed when we got back. We spent time reading the Bible and praying together throughout the day.  Dad had a lot of visitors including family, friends and co-workers! He was so thrilled by this and blown away to have so many people visiting! It was wonderful! He took a few cat naps during the day. ❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🎉Updates and Prayer Requests from

Updates: Sing for joy in the Lord, you righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in faithfulness. Psalms 33:1‭-‬4 NASB2020 🙌🏻❤️🙏🏻🫂Dad is getting settled into his new temporary room!

God is so good and His timing is perfect! Dad has officially moved to an inpatient rehab facility! We continue to be amazed by God's timeline and Dad's continued progress! Please be praying for him and all of us in this transition and that God's will will continue to be done in all of this. We know His plan in it is perfect! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will let Myself be found by you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.' Jeremiah 29:11‭-‬14 NASB2020

🌙 Overnight Report:  Dad's doing okay but he didn't sleep last night again. He only got about 30 minutes yesterday from what she said. He is obviously confused which at this point a good chunk of that is related to the fact that he hasn't slept! He's alert and oriented most of the time but again definitely confused.  Vital signs are within normal limits. He went down for a repeat CT scan. He told the nurse that his double vision seemed better today. Not as bad.  Off of the restraints for now, but of course from a safety perspective if he needs them they will go back on.  ☀️ Day Update: He worked with therapy and they were able to get him up and into the chair!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️ 🌌 Evening Update: Restless during the day.

We know it's perfect so Dad just needs to rest, continue healing, eat and participate in therapy and we'll continue to pray. ❤️❤️ He agreed. 🙌🏻🎉 Praises: Through Him then, let's continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips praising His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, f

"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My favor will not be removed from you, Nor will My covenant of peace be shaken," Says the Lord who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10 NASB2020 ☀️Update for today: Today Dad was able to see all 4 grandkids which was such a highlight for us all!! ❤️❤️🫂🥰 He continues to talk more, although still struggles to gather his thoughts at times and is confused on and off throughout the day.

"They're heroes!" ❤️ So excited to see how God is using this in so many w

☀️ Update Dad's still having a decent amount of confusion and is ready to leave the hospital (according to him 😅) He's so appreciative of the medical team! ❤️ (We are too!!) It seems that we're getting closer to him being ready for going elsewhere (hopefully closer to home) for rehabilitation. We're praying for God's timing and will in that. For the right place to have availability and for the best timing. For us to have discernment to make the right decision for Dad when the time comes. (timing is unclear in this but we're praying for God's timing) We're asking for prayer that he would have peace and understanding. That he would be healed and his brain function would return. That he would have clarity and any confusion or delirium would melt away. For us to have patience and grace and understanding for him. Wisdom to know how to best love and redirect and care for him as he's trying to understand all that's going on and as he continues to heal.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV  Overnight report:  🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌He had a Good night; it went really well.

Philippians 4:4‭-‬7 NASB2020 I know that this peace noted in the verses above has been protecting us. ❤️ I know that it doesn't make sense, but truly "surpasses all comprehension" and yet, we felt, even in hearing about Dad's accident, that not only would God use it but also that dad was going to be okay. We are continuing to pray and to plead but also to rejoice in all that He's already done and all that He's going to do. We know He is near and he hears us.
