God, I guess you already know it's rained all day. We needed the rain, but it was sad to think of Ashley having to navigate the deluge to get to the hospital and thinking of her listening to the rain all day and all evening. Yes, I know there are wonderful things we ought to be thankful for today, but mostly, I'm sad and want to ask for some sunshine. Let there be a beautiful Carolina sky tomorrow for Ashley. Bless and heal her spirit as well as her body.
Thank you for the tornado-in-the-making not touching down. While Sofia hid in the basement bathroom waiting for the tornado watch to pass, I thought of my friend Ashley. She doesn't have a basement. Surely she wouldn't have to face chemotherapy and a tornado on the same day! I guess we are really fortunate in so many ways we don't even think of. We didn't have a tornado, or an explosion, or a major accident, ... but it's hard to be thankful for what didn't go wrong when we are facing such a difficult diagnosis. God, remind us of the incredible odds against human life developing out of chaos, the incredible odds against lasting friendships and love, and having just one perfect day. But we've had so many. So help Ashley beat the odds. Give her renewed strength and life so that she can continue to bless and be blessed. We treasure her and need her and pray tonight for her healing and for rest.
I pray also for Sunny's friend Emmett's surgery tomorrow. Heal him. Bless him, one of Ashley's many community children. Give them both comfort and rest. Amen.
