"Bring me joy, bring me peace. Bring the chance to be free. Bring me anything that brings You glory, And I know there'll be days when this life brings me pain. But if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain. "

My friend Kelli sent me these beautiful words to a Mercy Me song. We may be in the rain, but we are sheltered by the loving arms of our heavenly father. We know God brings us close and carries us through times like these and we definitely feel him so near.

Luke had another day of resting with the paralytic drugs. The doctor wanted another day of watching his lungs work on the ventilator without him interacting with the vent. Today his right lung was clear but his left was "stuck to itself" and needed to be re-inflated so they worked on that today. He is so sweet looking and I am thankful he is getting rest.
