Well just wanted to share a few thoughts! Yesterday was a rough day for me! The last few days but yesterday in particular. First was that Kristen and Katie have been sick for a few days, Kristen since last Thursday, running fever, headaches and congestion. Katies started Monday, no headache, just fever and congestion and coughing. Well I kept both out of school and Tammy took them to the doctor for me. The doctor tested for the flu and thank God that was not the case. Kristen has a bad sinus infection and Katie a cold. Katie ran fever all day yesterday and both were not feeling well at all.
So now there is more!!! Joseph received his medicine in on Tuesday and the nurse come over yesterday evening to explain about the medicine and school us on his injections. I was very overwhelmed with this. My heart was pounding and felt like I was going to break down. I really struggled tring to keep myself together. I don't know why but I wasn't doing very good with this. First thing was the nurse has MS also and she has had it for 15 years and some of the things she was saying made me feel uncomfortable. Like how she would have bad days and things like that, but then she clarified that it was before she was put on this medicine. Since she has been on this medicine she has only had one attack in the last five years. (sigh of relief) Anyway learning to give the shots was kindof when reality set in!!! Then having to watch him give himself this shot, my heart just hurt. The thought of him having to go thru this everyday!!! Anyway it is hard to explain my feelings! I just ask that you keep us in your prayers!

I will keep praying for you guys. I am sorry you have been so overwhelmed lately. I wanted to leave you with a scripture I always go to when I am feeling that way.
Psalm 61: 1-4
Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
I hope your days get better and are filled with peace.
Way to go Dani. That's a good one. Girl, you are in a season of testing & trying right now. You're family is so on fire for God that the enemy does not like that. Joseph is gonna be giving himself those shots with ease and it'll be just another testimony used for His glory!
