For the last month I feel like I've been in a fog, on November 25, 2008 my Dad had a major brain-stem stroke and has been in ICU since then. He has previously had smaller strokes but nothing of this magnitude. His eye-site and left side has been affected the most dramatically. He can't see, but may regain (at least) partial sight. My Dad is strong, always has been. I know he's still in there and he's fighting to come back.
It's not easy to see my Dad, the pillar of our family, confined to a hospital bed. I trust that God is holding him in the palm of His hand and taking care of him. No matter what we think He never leaves us alone. Since my Dad had his stroke God has been threading the remnants of our family together. Healing those old hurts to bond us together to make the strongest connection we have ever known. I have to trust with everything in my being that there is something greater happening here. There is peace to be found and sometimes that is through struggle.
The way God works isn't always the way we would choose, but after everything settles I believe we are stronger people for trusting in Him.
