All 4 Jake

I am so Thankful on this day of Thanksgiving.

So thankful to be so extremely blessed. We are blessed by amazing friends and family who have shown amazing, unwavering support as we have been traveling along this roller coaster. Blessed by amazing doctors who relentlessly continue to try and give us a seizure free day.

I know watching little Jake continue to have seizures is very frustrating and discouraging to many who knew the young man who never met an obstacle he couldn't conquer. What is evident and so visible to me, is that little man is still here. He has challenges now, but his challenges are harder for us to watch, than they are for him to defeat. This is why Our Lord made children so resilient. And our Jake has shown the most amazing resilience I have ever seen. For this we are blessed.

I feel there are two paths and I was given a choice of which one to follow. The one where I feel pity, sorrow, anguish and fear for the bump in the road that was given to us, OR I can accept it, learn from it, and grow from it.

I choose the second!

Jake has chosen the second.

This is a learning experience and were chosen by God to be strong enough to learn, grow and scream out about our experience. I am unsure as to why exactly we were chosen, but the fact of the matter is we were "chosen." Now it is my turn to do something with this unfortunate circumstance, because it will get better and it could be MUCH worse.

We often think of great faith as something that happens spontaneously so that we can be used for a miracle of healing.
However, the greatest Faith of all, and the most effective,is to live day by day trusting Him. It is trusting Him so much that we look at every problem as an opportunity to see his work on our life.
