Just wanted to give a bit of an update. Nick and Annaliese are in Singapore today and tomorrow. They saw the neurologist and he prescribed medicine to hopefully break the cycle. He didn't feel like there was anything wrong with her neurologically so that is a praise. They are now seeing an internist to see if there might be some other causes for the non-stop headaches. Just hoping and praying they can figure out what it is.
Luke is still sick. He has a bad head cold that is really draining him. He went to school half day, played a bit in his team's b-ball game and then came home and just laid on the couch. He made it through til lunch today but then we came home and he has been in bed since. Sure seems like we have had our share of illnesses at our house. Enough is enough!
I am learning through all of this. I have realized how much i was hanging onto my kids and was fooled into thinking that I knew what is best for them. After some time in prayer with good friends, God showed this to me and i was able to give them back to Him-to see that my role is to love and nurture but to not protect them from pain and illness. I have had such peace since then. I am tired of this trial and the worry thoughts still pop into my head from time to time but there is also just a sense of calm that God is taking care of us. He has their best in mind as things come into their lives. I just started reading the book that my blog title is from and the author says, " In God's reign, 'everything belongs,' even the broken and poor parts....You do not resolve the God question in your head - or even in the perfection of moral response. It is resolved in you, when you agree to bear the mystery of God: God's suffereing for the world and God's ecstasy in the world."

I am glad to hear of the peace that God is granting you during this difficult time. We will continue to pray for healing for the kids. My our gracious God give you just what you need for each day as it comes!
Sending our love and prayers!
