I’ve Experienced Some Breakthrough

Yesterday, from morning until late at night, was incredibly rough. By the time I went to bed, my pain level had skyrocketed—it felt like a knife was lodged deep in my left hip. I had to double up on my medication and eventually drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up at 11 a.m. this morning, I was relieved to find that the pain in that area had finally settled down significantly. Today has been a much better day. I’m continuing to rest and move cautiously. My hips are still very sore, and I’ve been relying on my battery-operated heating pads to manage the discomfort.

But something deeper has shifted—my peace and sense of hope have been restored. The headaches have been minimal, and even during my time in the hot tub, I was able to connect with a gentleman who’s been through similar struggles. That connection meant a lot.

Asher is having a wonderful time, and that truly makes me smile. Expect lots of pictures of us with Disney characters by the end of the week!

Your prayers are absolutely working—please keep them coming. I thank God for every breakthrough and every single one of you. Last night was a very dark place for me, but once again, God stepped in and rescued me.

(Psalm 18)

1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. 

6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary;my cry to him reached his ears.

16 He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. 17  He rescued me from my powerful enemiesfrom those who hated me and were too strong for me. 18 They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord supported me.

28 You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness. 29 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.
