Fulfilling My Purpose

This is Chelsea a month ago, before the storm blew in. She rarely takes naps, but she came down with a stomach virus that day.

This week, Chelsea has not been tired at all, even though she has serum sickness. She’s the Energizer bunny. I’m the one who is tuckered out!

Here’s our last few weeks:

March 29–Kevin got strep throat
April 5–Chelsea got chicken pox
April 6–Caleb got chicken pox
April 7–I got strep
April 9–Chelsea got strep
April 18–Chelsea came down with serum sickness (a reaction to amoxicillin, which she took for strep)
April 21–I have what appears to be a sinus infection [edit: good news--it turned out to be only a minor cold for me. yay!]

Lessons in faith, trust, and perseverance are in progress. I’m thankful Kevin and Caleb are well right now, and I look forward to all of us getting back to normal soon.

Chelsea and I listened to Step by Step this morning, a song by Rich Mullins. It reminded me of why I am here.

Oh, God you are my God and I will ever praise You
Oh, God you are my God and I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You’ll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
