"I lift my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
He will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore." Psalm 121
"We are never nearer to God than when our hearts are overwhelmed with sorrow and uncertainty. We cannot fathom or understand this reality yet. But as God's children will can choose to accept it. God's Spirit is given, not simply to give us times of joy and brightness, but to guide and lead us through the dark places.
May we be of good cheer and not let any clouds keep us from embracing His blessings today, however they may come. It is good to be open to those people who reach us to us - making every effort to show our appreciation for them - for the Lord's sake. As surely as He is God, He will be with us. We can count on it and build on it. He has promised us that He is always with us - ALWAY! "

Kerry!
I have been thinking so much about you lately. My heart told me today that I couldn't wait any longer to get in touch with you. I googled for your email address (I wasnt sure if it changed) and found this beautiful blog. I just spent the last 30 minutes reading about all thay is going on in your life. I am so glad Scott is recovering and I am praying for you and your whole family. I would LOVE to see you soon and especially hear how you and your beautiful family are doing. You are missed.
