He's AWAKE!

It has been a strange few months, and here's an update. My husband's cousin who was in a coma after a fatal (loss of my husband's aunt) car accident on May 27th, is awake! I just got word today. Here's what the email said:

He's "awake" now -- but still has blurred vision and not fully at quick response level. This will come with time per the Doctors. But, he recognizes us and he's responding to our questions. I am so very thankful and grateful -- you just can't imagine. However, now the hard work begins. [He] is starting through physical therapy and it will be painful. So, I will very much appreciate your on-going prayers for [him] and my Brother and my little 5-month old niece plus my 16-year old neice and 20-year old neice. [who all lost their mom/wife in the same accident.] The impact of my Brother losing his wife, on 5/27 is devastating. Some days he does ok and other days he "flounders". Our whole family is pitching in to help with the children, house upkeep, meals, and anything else that comes along. Time is against us right now -- but, with the grace of our precious Lord, we will pull through this. Thanks again for your special prayers for us.

What a miracle! I am beginning to grow more and more. It's a hard thing to hope. Faith is very trying and tricky concept. To truly let go and whole-heartedly trust His purpose, His plan, His timing.

Verse to Ponder: Romans 15:13 (NLV) Our hope comes from God. May He fill you with joy and peace because of your trust in Him. May your hope grow stronger by the power of the Holy Spirit.
