Red Letter Day - April 2, 2013

Such exciting happenings and hopes today!  Will write details another day as it is already after 11pm, but just had to share at least a snapshot.

Praise God for Londa!  After a few really rough days and a rough night, she came today and was so gracious to stay longer and give me a long day off.

After a doctor's appointment (which other than the long wait was actually kind of fun - really great/funny doctor) and a couple of errands, I enjoyed sitting in a cafe, reading and enjoying an extremely long and relaxing lunch, strolled through Clay's nursery, bought to shirts at the Goodwill thrift shop and went to the grocery store all in an unhurried fashion.

Mike and I took a long walk and I started asking him questions about the past, family members, events, college, etc. and he responded. Needed a few prompts, but we had a conversation!  A couple of times he asked me why I was quizzing him, but he was not agitated or upset, just curious.  Will write the dialog later.  After supper he said "that was a great meal, Mom."  Woo Hoo!  :-)  Risperdal going down, cognition going UP! (and personal care!)

Keegan had a 2nd interview via phone today and has a person-to-person interview on Friday (all with the same company)! Sounds very promising and a great fit, so pray that if this is the Lord's will for him, he will be hired.  So exciting!

My nephew, Chris, and his wife, JoyLynne had a baby girl tonight at 10:10pm.  How exciting!

God's word is always so uplifting and gives so much hope.  Just a portion of my reading today:

Hebrews 6:18b-20a

"... it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf..."

Even though tomorrow morning might be just as rough as the past few have been, these moments of clarity are happening more often and that brings so much hope and Praise to God who hears my frantic cries for help and is answering.  Thank you for praying!  What a red letter day! :-)
