The journey that lies before us is long and uncertain.
We (and they) do not have many answers yet. Time will tell.
God knows the beginning from the end ~
What a blessing this knowledge is! Our times are in HIS Hands.
We were allowed to bring Austin HOME yesterday!
He is very weak. He has to take things slowly.
We still have to wait and see what these meds will do.
We still need an MRI to know the extent of the damage.
But, he is HOME! And we are excited!
God has graciously answered many prayers
in the affirmative. We are so thankful!

Eleven days ago we didn't know if we would
ever have him home again.
By God's Grace, HE enabled us to take things
one day at a time. When I began imagining things
beyond the day we were in, I couldn't bear it. We aren't meant to.
God's Grace is there for Just. This. Day.
How precious these things are. We have so often taken
so many things for granted. How easy it is to think
that things will go on and on in the same way forever.
It's rarely the case.
Each day is precious.
As Christians, we ought to live in the moment.
With the LORD. Enjoy the blessings that God gives.
Rejoice in HIM! And live for HIM.
HE is perfect. HE never changes.
HE does all things well. We rest in HIM!
Thank you to each one of you who has kindly left notes
of encouragement, and extended your friendship
in a miriad of ways. And for praying!
If the Lord should bring us to mind in the next while,
would you please continue to pray?
Thank you so very, very much!
We believe that Our Great God is able to do amazing things.
Whatever HE chooses to do ~ It will be for our good,
and for HIS glory. Of this, we are certain.
May we live this out. Moment by moment.
By HIS Grace.
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
Many Blessings!
With Love, Camille

So glad that you got to bring your son home..Praying for you and your family.
Beautiful Friend,
Your faith leads me to a greater faith myself. I know this is your prayer in everything you write. He uses you and it's working :) I continue to weep with you and I am praying for complete recovery, although I know that you are opening your heart to whatever the Lord's will is for Austin's life. May He grant a miracle!
Love, Heather
Dear Camille,
I am so happy that Austin was able to come home from the hospital!
We are praying for a good recovery & good health for him!
Take care my friend!

Rejoicing that Austin is home with you all. We are continuing to pray for him for healing and that God would continue to use this time to speak of His glory to those around you. As I've prayed over the last couple of weeks for you all, I've come back to that again and again. God is speaking to those that are lost and searching around you all in so many ways at this time.
Those pictures of your four are such a delight.
~Heather
So glad to know that Austin is home! Lifting all of you to the Father. Thanks for sharing this part of the journey with us, Camille.
I'm so grateful to the Lord that you were able to bring Austin home. There is nothing like someone's absence to realize how much we take for granted. We are living out what you wrote day by day as we deal with our own difficult situation. We are truly learning to live for today only. Your post so resonates! I love you and I continue to pray for healing for Austin and strength for you all as you walk this unexpected journey. May you find strength and mercy in the pain. Love you, my friend!
Jackie

Dear Jackie ~ How wonderful it is to know that the LORD leads and is IN the journey with us. I am praying for the situation you find yourselves in too...the LORD is Good. HE will give grace each and every day. Continue to look to HIM my friend. Love to you! :)
Many Blessings to you each one!

Wow Camille you have your precious young man home! Praise God for His mercies and we will continue to lift up Austin to the Lord in the coming days.

You are blessed indeed! Much love and hugs to you, Pippa
