This is the sixth installment in a series of posts straight from our journal (handwritten). When we first received the difficult diagnosis for our daughter (still in the womb), we immediately started journaling. Click here to start reading Journal from the beginning. Here is what we said:
DAY FOUR – September 28, 2001 – (Robin)
Today, I felt almost normal. There is no more shock and we have tried to live normal lives. It is amazing that we are offering support to others. It is an honor. God deserves all the honor and glory.
We have only begun. This is not a sprint, but a series of marathons. We are getting our second wind in 1st mile of the first marathon.
God will be with us every step of the way. I have never felt so close to God in my life and I have never felt so close to family and friends. I have never needed other people in my life. However, now when people say, “If you need anything, let us know” I take them very serious.
I am excited about what I am about to learn from God. We have only touched the tip of the iceberg!
2013 Commentary
I welcome you comments on these posts. Honestly, this process of reading the old journal entries has been a weird experience for me. Weird in a good way. Honestly, I had forgotten a lot of the emotion and things we learned along the way. This post was dead on. We have run a lot. Uphill journeys and a ton of beautiful experiences have characterized our path. We had no idea what would happen but we plowed through with our Trust in God. Still plowing!!
Your thoughts??
