overwhelmed

When we began this journey, we were overwhelmed. Overwhelmed emotionally. Overwhelmed with the physical task of putting on braces, doing stretches, getting therapy set up, having to help Brody with things that you typically don't have to help a 3 year old do, etc. And overwhelmed with the financial burden this would be. But in the last 2 months...the 2 months since we've created this blog and let our friends and family follow this journey with us...we've been overwhelmed again.

Overwhelmed with love and support.

You saw where our church body blessed us by hosting a massive garage sale and raising $1500 to pay for the first set of braces.

And in the last couple of weeks, we've had unexpected gifts sent or dropped by out of nowhere. We are amazed at how the Lord provides. He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. And He is holding true to that promise, as always. It is so comforting to know what we can pay for the next set of leg braces in the next 6 months to a year without worrying about where the money will come from.

So thank you friends and family...you know who you are. We can never thank you enough for loving us the way you do!

And ultimately, all praise goes to God for his provision and faithfulness. We know that he has all of this in his hands, if only we'll let go of the reins and let him lead.
