If a man wants a true biblical marriage then he needs to understand the extent of which Christ loved the church.

Friends of WMBL,
It has been a couple of weeks since I have updated this post but I wanted to get back with you and share how things have been going. I have to say that Katie has an amazing spirit and I truly admire her courage. She enthusiastically returned to school and faced all of the questions of curious kids. She also participated in her first swim meet of this season on Saturday and she did fantastic.
I, on the other hand have really been struggling. I have been dealing with intense anxiety that I have never had before. I am very emotional and feel like I could cry at any second. Work at the hospital this past week has been a real challenge for me. I know that God does not give us a spirit of fear and we are told to be "anxious for nothing". I have faith in knowing that God will hold me up and give me wisdom through this process.
Unfortunately, We are not going to be able to put all of this behind us anytime soon because Katie is facing significant "scar revision" procedures in the near future. This is going to be a long process.
In the meantime I am drawing strength from my husband, faithful friends and God's word. The Prayer Ministry at our church shared a couple of scriptures with me that are giving me strength. "I will put my trust in Him. Behold, I and the children whom God has given me." Hebrews 2:13. Also, "He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young." Isaiah 40.11
I am so grateful for your prayers for Katie and our family. Please continue to pray for her, for our family and for this ministry. God Bless You.
