Worry, what a waste of time

I read a great quote from Randy Alcorn's book, If God is Good. He wrote:

Worry is momentary atheism crying out for correction by trust in a good and sovereign God.

We have learned so much about God's goodness and his desire to be intimately involved in every apspect of our lives as we have walked, sometimes crawled, on this journey with David. We have learned to give thanks and to see grace in the strangest of things. It is grace that David is totally unaware that he is incontinent. It is God's grace that he is not bothered when we wipe his bottom, when we feed him, and when we use a Texas catheter to help keep him dry. We give thanks for a well timed bowel movement. Yes, the scriptures tell us to give thanks in all things! :)

Last night David slept like a baby from 9:30 to 7:30! God is good! We took him to the doctor yesterday and she thinks he is fighting a summer bug that is going around. He had a couple red spots on the back of his throat. This would explain why he is so tired and unstable. When ever David gets any little cold it really knocks him down. We are hoping as he fights this off in the next 4-5 days that he will return to the peppy, happy David we all know and love.

Today David will hang out with two of his aids, Dan and Laura. Pray that David has energy, that he has fun, and that Dan and Laura would both know God is using them to bless David and us. We are leaning towards not canceling our cruise. Yesterday was just a tough morning. Love you all.
