Smiling

Hey All! Another crazy week! Laura and Zooie came from Iowa.. oh and can't forget Tim.. and visited. Laura is Seth's girlfriend and Zooie is Schuyler's friend girl. :) It was a grand time!! There were so many late nights playing Guitar Hero, talking, watching movies, going to firework shows, laughing, and just being together.. it was so good for Schuyler and Sam's spirits. They didn't even have a moment to be down. We were sad to see them leave today after church.
Tomorrow sam is going in for surgery on his urethra. Pray for him. Pray that everything goes well. It's going to be hard when he wakes up out of his sedation and he has to regroup all over again. Sam is all smiles and sweetness lately. It's as though God reached down and poured honey over his heart and it seeps out into his eyes and his mouth. It's awesome to see! But let me tell you.. he does enjoy bossing his big sister around. He smiles really big and tells me, not asks me, to do little favors for him. :) I don't really mind though. I'm just glad he's smiling.
Schuyler has been all smiles this week also. Since Zooie has been here we haven't hardly heard a complaint. I wish she would be here all the time.. :) Schuyler could possibly get his mouth unwired Wednesday. Pray that this goodnews is for real and that there are no more setbacks. I don't think I could bare to see the disapointment on his face another day.
Life. Life is another blog.. God is shaking up our Fellowship. I sat in chuch today while Scott preached, and ministered to our congregation, and I had tears streaming dowm my face, and a weight of bricks it seemed on my chest. The presence of God saw it fit to rest upon my chest and seep into my heart. I can't imagine there was hardly a aoul in that room that wasn't convicted. The sermon to sum it up was about sin. It was about how some Christians do hardly enough to get by. Just enough to keep evil off our backs. But that is where Satan wants us the most I think. On the fence.. watching. Life. Life is hard we all find out. But there is hope in Jesus Christ. There is hope in life after this. Life where someday we will all be together again. With Dan. With Jesus. So don't give up, keep serving the Lord!
I saw again the Robinson's mourn. Mourning is a part of their lives. "Blessed are those who mourn. For they will be comforted." ..Praise God.
As one last little thing.. today we were running late to church, and I was helping load the boys up in the van. I had a lot on my mind and I wasn't in the best of moods, but out of corner of my eye I looked down at Schuyler and he was holdijg the Bible in his lap. My Bible was the last thing on my mind. But in all the confusion Schuyler didn't forget. His mind was fixed on Jesus. Wow!
Well God bless.. We love you all! ~Sarah
