360

I thought I would give another full view of what's going on with us.

HOPE International (hopeinternational.org) has been so great for Grace the last 3 years to work at and she looks forward to getting back to all her friends (co-workers) there. It's going to take some time from what we hear, possibly even the new year until she gets back and can be full energy to work. They have been so patient and helpful through this whole process, please check out there work online and consider giving HOPE. A gift that keeps on giving.

As for me at work they have been incredible. I've only been at Fulton for a little over a year and they have been so gracious to me and my Agricultural Lending co-workers are incredible and want me to be with Grace to support her. What a blessing for us both to have understanding jobs!

I spoke with the restoration place this morning for the house. We got some paint chips for Grace and I to look at yesterday and picked out colors so they can start the job today. So the painting should be done by the end of this week. Flooring will be in next week and we aren't sure on when a door can come for the patio, though that won't hinder us from being a home I don't think. Keep praying that everything can be ready to go for us to move home when we get out of Crozer.

I'm going to try and hit the chiropractor this morning on the way to the hospital and get this neck/shoulder thing fixed up a little so we'll see how that goes.

We'll see what happens, but with Grace being in a new room back in the corner, I'm hoping to sneak in as much of the Phillies game tonight with her in her room before I get kicked out :)

As for devos, be praying that the Lord would work in Grace's heart and mine as we desire to grow and learn from this.

Check out Psalm 86!

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!

  2. The most amazing thing with this type of journey is to see God's hand in everything. The more you reflect on it, the more you will see His hand holding yours.

  3. It has been awhile that we have been able to check out the blog, with being away and all. But we certainly havent stopped praying. It is so enjoyable to hear how God has been healing Grace and encouraging you. Let us know if you could use any help with anything here in Lancaster, we have extra time and would love to help anyway.
    Love you guys,
    Ryan and Nora

  6. I'm glad to hear Grace has a quieter room, and hope that she will be able to sleep more as she relearns to sleep naturally without sedatives. I'm also thankful that both of your jobs have been understanding. We continue to pray for you both.

  7. Thinking of you Lamar and your family, so much to learn of our Heavenly Father, I am reminded of Hebrews 5:7-8...Of Jesus he spoke, "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered." And then Hebrews 12..."...who for the joy that was set before him endured..."

    Father, continue to undergird Lamar and Grace with your strength and courage and pereverence in the faith. Jehovah Shalom, settle any concerns as they rest them before you, O, Jehovah Rapha, in Jesus name I find courage and faith to appraoch your throne on their behalf...Thank you
