"On the Day of the Lord- the Day that everything sad comes untrue- on that Day the same thing will happen to your own hurts and sadness. You will find that the worst things that ever happened to you will, in the end, only enhance your eternal delight. On that Day, all of it will be turned inside out and you will know joy beyond the walls of the world. The joy of your glory will be that much greater for every scar you bear." -Tim Keller

Aslan's On The Move
This evening a group of elders from our church came to pray for Haley before our trip to Maryland tomorrow. What a blessing to have these men come and pray, some with tears, for our sweet daughter.
I have a friend who used to call me and say, "Aslan's on the move", which is a quote from a C.S. Lewis book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Aslan, the Lion, is the Jesus character, and by it, she (and Lewis) meant that God was doing something.
In the last few days, I have thought of this phrase, and it is true for us. We have seen God envelope us in His arms in the form of physical help, financial gifts, emotional support, and much prayer, both seen (as above) and unseen (as many of you have reported).
So when I'm feeling overwhelmed by what lies before us and with what we must do today (and tomorrow, and the next day), I remind myself to open my eyes and see the blessings. My friends, Aslan is indeed on the move!

Praying for healing and comfort. Anxiously excited to hear how God is working through this.
