Today I went to Alki beach because...
1. I love West Seattle
2. I needed to see Megan Waldron so I picked her up to come with me.
3. It was sunny and you need to celebrate sunny April days in the PNW!
All day though, despite the sun and happy, happy faces, I have just been thinking of those less fortunate than me. One of those is baby Cash, who is on his way to Houston today to undergo radiation treatment. For those of you who have read about him earlier, or have been praying for him with me, he's really in some trouble and it is time to take further action. Him and his dad traveled to Houston today to begin 7-8 weeks of extensive radiation. The hard part is, he is only eighteen months old so he has to be put under when they do it, so he doesn't wiggle. Our poor little guy really needs grace and lots of rest. My heart breaks for him today! His mom and older brother will stay behind for a few weeks because momma is so pregnant! So not only will Cash and his dad miss the baby's birth, but mom has to wait a few weeks until she can get to her other warrior and comfort him. It's a family that is going through SO much and still, so faithful.
I am moved by how positive and optimistic they are.
I went to church at MH Ballard this evening and it just hit the nail right on the head for what I was feeling. Seeking healing (physical, emotional, and spiritual) is key... but God doesn't owe it to us to fix what we feel is broken. We can ask and receive grace, but we can't test him.
Woah good thing God is so good though right?
Last night, Julian rocked and rolled through his Little League game.
Presley didn't make me feel so bad either, greeting me with shrieks and sprinting over to me around the bleachers. He is so darn cute I hate thinking about leaving these families again. Watching them grow is an experience of a life time and one that I could never take for granted.
To think, just yesterday it feels like Amee was telling us she was pregnant.
And now, a short-stack of joy. With a goofy grin and the occasional snot bubble, this now "toddler" could steal my heart with one giggle!
They grow so fast.
I'm all warm and fuzzy inside! :) The sunshine... it gets to me.
