Friday, January 22, 2010-a life-changing day.
I can't even begin to explain the fear, worry, confusion, anxiety and heartbreak I felt as I saw my dad lying there, almost lifeless. All that ran through my mind was "WHY, God?" and "Come on, dad, wake up. Please, wake up." But with DOZENS of friends' prayers and a reminder that God is sovereign, much of the worry seemed to fade away. Nothing like surrendering and keeping faith in God's good will, right?
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
After many, many prayers crying out to God, many, many visits to the hospital, and many, many hours of sleep lost, I'm seeing an abundance of the fruits of God's blessings through this situation: my dad is MUCH better and my family has been closer and more loving than I can ever remember. Praise the Lord!
You make all things work together for my good.
And now, I am in the middle of what Alex has named "OMG Week." Waking up early to visit my dad, commuting to Irvine, 3 midterms, and my USC application still unfinished and due this upcoming Monday. It's been hectic and extremely tiring, but I'm finding strength and reassurance as I see that God's remaining still so faithful.
God's been redeeming my relationship with my dad, as well as his relationships with my aunt, uncle, and grandma. I'm really seeing the love that's holding us all together. It's a much-need season of renewal and new starts.
Relieved.
