Prayers

Today was an eye opening day. We hosted at church a ladies prayer retreat. We would cover certain verses then would disperse and pray and this went on for 8 hours. It was emotionally taxing!! When you plan on meeting with Jesus for a specific reason, plan on learning a few things!

The whole time I was there our situation was on my mind. Questions would spin during my personal prayer time. I would ask, " what good is going to come out of this?", " why did You choose Rickey to go through this?" "what lessons can be learned and help us to learn them fast and get out of this pit!"

Well God didn't necessarily answer the above questions but I felt His loving presence not only directly through Him but also through the ladies I was with today. I am not my "normal" self right now and they were loving and encouraging.

This illness doesn't just affect R it very much reaches to not only us, his family, but also extended family and our church family. It breaks my heart to hear others tell me they know exactly what I am going through b/c I wouldn't want any one to walk this road.

It's not a good day for R today. I came home to him in the "man cave" watching tv in the dark. On the plus side he did get out and drive around which is good , he has got to get out and try. He did.

Well heres to another busy weekend! Hopes and prayers that next week is good!
