in Christ alone my Hope is found

Well it seems that the time in between my blogs get farther and farther apart with earch blog. Life just gets busier and busier. Next week I go back to work.. and life continues to go on.
I saw that Cristal wrote the results of Sam's CT scan, so yes, Sam did get his brace off!! They said that the only time he would really ever have to wear it was when we are riding in a car. Just in case we have to come to a sudden stop or something. They did recommend he not play football, but I think that is a small price for Sam's life and recovery. :)
Some days are hard and bitter around here. Schuyler voiced to me lastnight some of his frustrations.. I guess one of his doctors, for some reason, encouraged them to watch movies and videos about sports. He said it would be good for them. It was late at night and Schuyler told me that he didn't understand why the doctors would openly taunt them about ever having the possiblity of playing sports again. I know that every family is different, but sports in our home has always meant a lot. We all have different talents and strengths and we have always excelled in sports. Schuyler especially may never have the opportunity to play on an organized team. It's heartbreaking for him. He knows, and we all know, that in the long run his life and his health mean so much more!.. but that doesn't stop the ache.
So as I just wrote all of that above I felt God tugging at my heart and I had to stop and pray. We are all fighting a battle. We forget that sometimes.. Satans greatest attack on humanity was convincing the World that He doesn't exist. Satan wants us to believe that he isn't real, and that we don't need to be in constant prayer for ourselves and one another. Satan wants Schuyler to become bitter and angry about what he has lost and what hurts, instead of being so grateful for what he has and what he has gained from this trial. In so many ways this whole experience has been a attack from the evil one. He wants us to forget. He wants us to be angry. He wants us to stop growing. Satan would be happy if just one soul fell away. But the Lord will rejoice if through all this just one soul comes to Him. If just one single man, women, teen, child, or baby comes back to Him.
So to everyone who is somehow connected through this accident.. Don't forget. Satan is real and He wants your soul. But through Christ and His death and ressurection you have power and Hope. I say all this in light of the sermon on Sunday. Don't live your Christian life service to service.. Wakeup everyday and live each day as it is your last.. serving God. Cause who knows when that day will be? Oh and tell the world, tell them what you have seen through this. Tell them about Jesus. Tell them about where Dan is. Tell Them about the Hope we have. :)
God bless! -Sarah
