A woman who fears The Lord is to be praised

11 days until surgery

Until then....

We carry on with our normal lives. Just because we receive devastating news doesn't mean the world stops. We might wish it could...but it won't.  We have to balance our normal lives with the huge elephant still standing in the room.

From the outside, William seems fine. His hands and feet get clammy and I panic at the mere sight of him breathing too heavy or quickly. Other than that, he's a normal little three month old!  He is starting to kick his feet, smile and move his hands all around. He coo's and babbles and is very alert.

We've gotten a lot of the logistics figured out and I am SO thankful for family that has offered to help. Our support system is amazing and we couldn't do it with them.  A lot of details are still up in the air so we are having to be very flexible and patient right now.

Emotionally, I keep reminding myself that I am strong and will remain strong for my boys. I keep going back to Proverbs 31 and trying to match up to what a wife of noble character is.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

I've always been drawn to that passage, but now it impacts me more than it ever has. 

Thank you all again for the continued thoughts, prayers, cards and everything else. We are blessed to have so many prayer chains going across the country!!
