June 23 - millimeters to make a mile
Ok, so I have my measuring systems all mixed up but you get the idea. :-)
We have spent some very nice days together. As I keep saying Bobb is working hard. His language improves - in little bits and pieces. We are talking millimeters but we take all that we can get. Today he asked me "How is your headache?" Who would have thought that such a simple statement would have brought such jubilation :-) Most of the time we have to guess at what he is trying to say or try to figure out if he is stuck on a concept we discussed 5 minutes earlier and hasn't gotten his thinking to move on to the current conversation. It can be very frustrating and will continue to be so for some time I expect. Pray for both our patience and love for each other as we work together in his recovery process. Mine and Bobb both have to learn to slow down so he can process each thing that he has to do.
Bobb wants progress yesterday and we keep reminding him that its small muscles and small steps that work things up to bigger steps and walking on his own. Again - its our patience that must be developed :-)
We're in this for the long haul!
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty......He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:1,4
Thats just where I want to be - cuddled under His wings and protected there. Some days more than others especially when things seem so overwhelming and we don't know the future - but in the end we were never meant to know the future - God knows and that is enough. Help me to remain in the shadow of the Almighty when I'm most frustrated and want everything yesterday.
