This is has been a long week for me. On Tuesday, I had to sit by my mothers side while waiting to admit her. We found out that she had to be in the hospital-the initial reason being that she was anemic (one standard for measure blood or the iron in the blood normal is 12 her's was 4) and had to be given blood and to have a scheduled endoscopy the following afternoon. Then we found out that there was an internal tear in her body and would have to undergo a colonoscopy to find out the extent of the tear.
So here I am at home, keeping an eye on her stuff and finances, but part of me is remembering 2008. I remember that almost every day and night my parents were by my side going through what was unknown, first whether I would live or not, then the ups and downs of recovery. I remember that there were many times of fear, of joy, of sorrow, the whole gamut of emotions. And now here I am going through the same thing that they must have gone though and am beginning to learn again some lessons about the faithfulness of God, that no matter what happens that everything is under His control and that everything will turn out the way that He wants it-to His honor and glory.
I know that soon this will be resolved and that we will look back at this. I pray that when we do look back, it will be having learned all the things that the Lord wants me to know and remember.
