I got to thinking this morning, Okay God, What's next? I was waiting last night for someone to blame Jon's death on God. I've given this alot of thought and was ready for that answer. God didn't cause Jon's death. Satan did. Satan manipulated his thoughts of defeat and unfortunately, he wasn't able to overcome that. Was his faith strong enough, why didn't he have hope? Well, my own answer came last night as I listened to this minister deliver his rehearsed funeral service. I became angry last night. There was a funeral home filled with people so terribly grief stricken and this minister didn't give them hope. He didn't give them an answer. Unfortunately, I've been to enough funerals lately to see the difference between those that believe in the Word of God and those that believe in the revised versions. I won't write all my objections here as I don't want to offend anyone, although I was offended. I'm thankful I can now see the difference- in black and white in what I believe and what some others do.
I feel a bit like Eeyore lately. Could someone please take this cloud from over our heads? Gosh, it's been one thing after another lately. I know I should be rejoicing in trials, and in all actuality, I'm handling all this alot better than I have seen myself handle them in the past. Today we'll finally find out from the Glaucoma specialist in Green Bay, what we're going to do next for Katia. She's been getting pretty bad headaches the past couple days- all with the green halos before hand. That seems strange. And she has a nightmare nearly every night. Although, I think that might be normal for someone her age- I remember having them often as a kid- mostly about the Incredible Hulk and King Kong! I think we have alot better means to be sure that our kids nowadays don't watch things that could scare them with the ratings.
So I guess I'll brace for the day's news and keep praying for a miracle.

Here is your "hope" kiddo.....When Katia was a baby you dedicated her to the Lord...she is His to do whatever He deems best for her so however this thing with her eyes comes out....God will use it to bring the ultimate blessing to her, to you, and to glorify Him. As hard as this is to face, He is with you, in you, around you, beside you, above you, below you. Greater good will come from all this when its given over to Him, than would ever come if it had not happened at all. At times, as I am praying for all of you, I get strong feelings of excited anticipation for how He will use Katia in the future (with or without sight). I look at how God has so amazingly used others with infirmaties/handicaps/disabilities and have even heard them say..."I'd rather be in this situation than not, because of what God has done through me and in me because of it."
How blessed we are to know that there is a hope beyond the grave...so sad that the minister could not convey that when there were so many who need to hear the truth.
Auntie:
Do you know what a blessing you are? Your words stick with me and really help alot! I sure appreciate this- sometimes we just don't see the other sides of situations that we're in. Thanks for showing me that;-)
We got another run around with the eye dr. today. I'm frustrated. They said tomorrow they'll call as the dr. was in Manistique today. Yesterday he was in surgery all day. I'm loosing patience with that office. So tomorrow we'll know more. Thank you Grandma for your thoughts and prayers. Their only child is a little girl named Chloe- she'll be three in November. Love you!
