2 Thessalonians 1:3-5 (New International Version)
3We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. 4Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
5All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
It's been a little scary this past week, but it seems like M is finally starting to make the turn-around to feeling better. Yesterday the doctors decided that she needed to have a blood transfusion (that'll make you a little nervous, I tell ya). She had still just been losing too much blood. They also started her on clear liquids to see how she reacted to them. She has done ok since then, so she's continued having things like broth and jello today. I talked to her this morning and she seems to have more energy.
A couple of days ago I reminded M that we never know why we're going through the things we do or how God may use them to witness to others. She seemed to know that already. She is such a beautiful witness in how she lives her life. I am so thankful to have her as my daughter.
It's been a year!

Love the new look of your blog, btw...the bling down the sides, especially. ;)
I'll continue praying for you all and especially your daughter...for comfort and strength to bear up and gain back her strength and health.
Such trials truly do turn us into 'gold', strengthening our faith and trust in the Lord. I'm sure that you all are a wonderful testimony to the others in the hospital. God is using you more than you would even know. Know that those nurses and doctors DO see His hand at work in your lives.
You're a good mommy, helping her to see the bigger picture in all this.
Glad to hear that M is perking up and responding to treatment. Watching our children be ill is so so hard. I pray God's continued comfort.
Yes, transfusions are scary, but as the Word says, life is in the blood. I'm glad she's getting what she needs and seems to be improving. Answered prayer indeed.
Keep looking to and leaning on Him. He has all you need.
Love you!
