POST-OP X7days

Life with a modified spica cast I can't believe it's already been a whole week since her surgery! Life with a spica cast..........AGAIN. :( Although the cast is half the size it was the last time, the fact that Natalia has to get into yet another cast, and be limited with her activities, and learn to walk a-gain is devastating to a 9 year old young lady, who wants to be a "normal" kid with a "normal" life. I mean, I know that our Lord, JESUS has a perfect plan, will, and purpose for Natalia, but this is extremely hard to watch. From the clothes she wears, to her everyday activities, it has been an extremely difficult transition. She feels helpless, hopeless, and discouraged. Simple things that she could independently accomplish are very complicated or impossible to do in her "temporary" condition. We all thought the spica, chemo, and radiation were in the past....never to be revisited. Those days were over, and she worked so hard to perfect her walk without the crutches and the wheelchair! She was determined and had moved on....and was not going to take any steps backwards. I now see a saddened soul who is trying real hard to make sense of all this. Praying for our Lord, JESUS, to fill her with his peace in this season of stillness. Jesus, wrap your arms around her and give her the strength that she needs to get through this desert. Lord, there are days that she gets tired, physically and emotionally......tired of fighting this battle....help her keep her eyes fixed on you FIRST to give her what she needs. She was chosen by you, for such a time as this....I speak LIFE into her circumstance...I speak blessing into her young life with a God-given calling, open her spiritual eyes to see what is hidden from her. Put a hedge of protection around her and cover her with the LIVING and STILL warm blood of our Almighty God, JESUS CHRIST who is her refuge and strong tower, a help in times of distress, HE is her healer, ALL POWERFUL Jehovah Rappha, her redeemer, her prince of peace, her encouragement, her protector, her Heavenly Father, her shepherd, her HOPE. JESUS, renew her mind and heart and give her the strength to soar above her circumstance, like the eagle. That she may not grow weary or grow faint, for she knows in whom she believes in. We thank you Lord for the Love, Grace and Mercy you have shown towards Natalia Sofia and our family! Thank you, JESUS that she is cancer free and her spica is smaller...we are truly grateful for the remnants of people that have rallied around us throughout this journey.....it is truly humbling..we recognize your MIGHTY hand in all of this...without it...we would have perished. We need you, JESUS. Without you, we are nothing. Isaiah 40:28-29, 31 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. BUT Natalia trusts in the Lord and will find new strength. Natalia will soar high on wings like eagles. Natalia will run and not grow weary. Natalia will walk and not faint. I DECLARE THIS IN JESUS NAME....AMEN. END OF STORY.
