MRI results came in showing significant brain damage. We are still processing, still struggling, and still thankful for his precious life. God sent three encouragements following the results:
1- Dad's scheduled flight to Mexico yesterday was delayed twice...in St. Louis. He was able to be here just long enough to receive results with and cry with us.
2- Shortly after MRI results, the dear pastor of the church in Sedalia, MO and his wife happened to be passing through St. Louis on their way to Illinois and stopped to see us. They cried with us as well, and bore us up during some of the lowest moments we've known yet.
3- Mason's dear friend Johnny drove up yesterday (was already driving before we knew results) to be with us. It was so wonderful to have him here for support and even for distraction.
Brother Clint shared this verse with us while he was here. "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Psalm 27:13 I felt almost stunned when he said it by how absolutely, wholly perfect it was for my heart. From the very depths of despair we certainly can't see the goodness of the Lord. But we believe. And as our hearts trust in Him, we truly are helped (Psalm 28:7).
