A matter of perspective
Amy slept most of the day today. She did watch football off and on between sleeping and stayed awake long enough to eat and visit a little. She’s been asking to see family and as such, her brother Mark and his family (wife DeeDee and son’s Jacob and Josh) are up here until Sunday. This is kind of a two-edged sword as it brings her joy to see those she loves, but through self-imposed expectations and energy expended, it can leave her drained as well.
It is vital that we pray, armed with the knowledge that God is in heaven. Pray with any lesser conviction and our prayers are timid…hollow…lukewarm. But spend some time walking in the workshop of the heavens, seeing what God has done and watch how your prayers will be energized…Behold the sun! For each square yard, the sun is constantly producing 130,000 horse power (the equivalent of 450 eight-cylinder engines.) And yet as powerful as our sun is, it is but one minor star amongst the 100 billion orbs which make up our Milky Way galaxy. Now, if you take a dime, hold it between your thumb and index finger and extend it at arms length towards the sky, allowing it to eclipse your vision…you will block out fifteen million stars from your view. Psalms 19:1 says, ‘The Heavens tell of the glory of God.’ By showing us the heavens, God is showing us His workshop…He taps us on the shoulder and says, ‘Your Father can handle that for you.’

Wow - I just found an awesome verse I'm praying for your entire family in Isaiah 43:2 (New Living Translation) which says,
"When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you."
God promises ..."I will be with"... (Amy, Vince, Brittany, Trevor, Vinnie, and Hope) through this entire ordeal with Amy's health. That is an awesome truth that I pray God supernaturally makes each of you lovingly aware of today and into the future.
We love each of you, and continue to uphold each of your individual needs, before the almighty throne of God.
May we all acknowledge His reign in our hearts, as each of you have courageously done do well, during this most challenging time of your lives.

I was recently reminded of an older song by Babbie Mason entitled, "Trust His Heart". Your very lives have testified to the message of this song, through the very difficult trial your family has endured so couragously.
Trust His Heart lyrics
All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could
struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blinds us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hands
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand trust His heart
