No More Seizures

What if your trial is an answer to your prayers? That's a hard pill to swallow.

I prayed that Jonathan’s seizures would go away. That he would not have to be on medication and would be able to play any sport he wanted. That I wouldn’t have to tell him that he scared me last night because he had a seizure, thankfully for him he never remembered them.

You could say that God answered my prayers.

As I sat with him after he passed, I told him I was sorry, I told him that I loved him, I told him to say hi to dad for me, I told him I will see him again and that he wasn’t going to have any more seizures.

This morning I was listening to a podcast about grief by @phyliciamasknheimer. She was telling a story of a friend’s baby girl that was sick and how they prayed for God to heal her. She ended up going to be with the Lord, whole and never to be sick again. So even though their prayers were not answered how they wanted, God had answered their plea.

The hard part is suffering through the pain that we are still left with here on this earth. Guarding your heart so you do not fall into despair.
