Where he shows up...

I have been wanting to post for awhile but time has once again slipped away from me. Imagine huh?  Anyways…

Kamiyah has been falling a lot and we found out some not so good news about what is causing it.  Our friends, family, acquaintances, strangers, businesses, church and just people in the community have stepped up to support our family in this time of unknowns.

The funny part about trials though is that you realize where God shows up.  He is always there.   Sometimes though, it is hard to see him and sometimes when your sadness consumes you it is even hard to feel his presence. You feel like you are suffocating and, when you are finally able to look back, you realize he was just giving you a big bear hug. Sometimes those too can restrict the lungs. :P

Here is the list of places I have seen him over the past few months:

- In the eyes of the people who stepped up to help at Pizza Ranch

- In the hearts of all of the people who donated online and in cash

-I saw him in a complete stranger dressed in a cowboy hat and business suit who walked into Pizza   Ranch with the sole purpose of donating $500 and no one knew who he was before he disappeared.

-In the minds of the businesses who rallied together to make a raffle happen

-On the backs of people who got shirts to show their support

-On the dance floor in the face of an elderly man who loved his wife so much that he put on his best outfit and danced even though the years had gotten the best of him.

-In the souls of people who sent amazing cards and heartfelt letters offering us the help we needed in that moment

-In the eyes of two little girls named Ryah and Presley who love Kamiyah and pick up her as she is falling and tell her it is going to be okay

-In the arms of my husband as we thought the stress of this was going to tear us apart but all we can do is pick up the pieces and find hope

-In the moments that seem to be fleeting and yet stand still just because I got to share them with Kamiyah

-In a pair of bicycles and a bike trailer that causes little girls to giggle

-In baking cookies at 10pm just because she asked and I cannot deny the deliciousness of chocolate


There are many more places I have seen him but those are just to name a few.  One thing I have also realized is that when I felt like I wanted to give up and not love so hard (in fear of losing) was that the only chance my daughter has is if I give all of me.  This song (click here) pretty much explains where I am at.
