Itβs been a year since my mom was brought into the ER and diagnosed with having viral encephalitis, a really rare event where a virus causes swelling in your brain. Itβs crazy to see through these pictures how much has happened in this last year. My mom has fought so hard to recover from this freak accident of an illness. It has been a long but amazingly blessed road of recovery. Sometimes itβs easy to forget what God has done, simply because I forgot to look back. Iβm brought to tears when I think of the blessings He has poured out on my family and I. There were so many dark days at that hospital where we had no answers and no assurance if my mom would be ok. My biggest question was, God what do I pray? I know youβre in control, but how do I know itβs your will for her to recover? I felt him putting this thought on my heart, βpray anyways.β Itβs so hard not to have all the answers and not to know the outcome of a situation. We didnβt know my mom was going to make such an incredible (and continuing) recovery, but the Lord has answered our prayers and been healing her! Iβm challenged with the thought to praise him and fearlessly ask anything from him, regardless of knowing the outcome. He loves us so very much, and Iβm learning to run into His arms like a child instead of timidly approaching him trying to have all the answers. Thank you to all who have prayed for my mom and been so supportive of my family this last year. It means everything to us π
