Weak


But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9


Today has been another down day. Mason has continued to have seizures but these kinds show no signs and are only measured on the EEG. His phenylbarb levels are so high it was time to add another medicine (kepra). We hope and pray that this is effective and it is hard to understand why all of a sudden he is really struggling with his seizures again. Josh and I are very weak. I am scared. We still trust in God and know that He is in control of the situation and believe that He will get Him through this. God is still the only reason Mason is here and that Mason has made it through what he has. Our son is a fighter but he is also God's child and we believe God has him tight in his healing hands. Please continue to pray for all of our family tonight. This has been a long road and we are weary. We are so ready for our boys to be together and for Mason to be home. But we continue to patiently await His perfect timing. He has a plan for all of our lives and we trust Him in everything. He has all of our family in His hands tonight and every night and soon we will all be together.

  2. Hi Lauren,
    My name is Jill (Jones) Shew and I work with Jody Williams. I also graduated from NW a year behind Josh. I have been reading your blog updates on Mason and asking Jody about him often. He has been in my prayers every day. I hope the seizures go away and he gets on the road to a full recovery. I can't imagine how you and Josh must feel. But, I want you to know that just from reading your posts I can tell you are a true woman of God!! His love shines through your writing and it is so wonderful!! I will continue to pray for Mason and all of you!! God bless you all.
