Alex

How do I have any room to complain or be discontent? I mean, we have some troubles in our lives and home right now...money issues, computer problems, cars in need of repair, work & relational stress, etc...BUT my boys are healthy.  They aren't heading into a "last ditch effort" surgery to remove a second piece of their skull so that hopefully their brain will stop swelling.  I have a 15 year old & I can't even imagine...and then I read the mom post, "I will praise Him in this storm."  And the dad posts, "Please pray that I will be strong for my family and that all of my children will know how much I love them."  I don't know if I have this kind of faith.  I want it - but I surely don't want it tested.  Not like this.  I am overwhelmed with emotions and all I can do is pray for God's will to be done in Alex & his family.  I trust Him. I don't always understand His ways (many times I don't), but I do know that He is good and He loves Alex more than anyone. Ever. 

This is "Furnace Walking Faith" and I know that God is walking through this fire with the Pearson family.
