Each of us finds our meaning and function
as a part of His body.

Pray for all the children who will be in VBS next week and/or the coming weeks. Pray they hear the Word and accept Jesus as their Savior.
Update on Callie Cole
Good Morning,
We hope all is well in your household today. God is continuing to heal Ms. Callie. We remain excited about her accomplishments and what is to come. She is spelling away to communicate and she is trying to speak as she spells. This new stage in her healing will cause you to work a little too. Several require a pen and paper to write each letter as she points indicating which one.
She tells everyone she wants to go home with them. We have told her that she can visit but the spend the nights will come later. She is okay with our answers, but “no” doesn’t sway her to ask one more time!!
Callie thinks she is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. She thinks we are picking at her when we tell her she is 16 and will soon be 17 later this month!! She will ask several times a day how old am I?
She has also cried out and said “I’m confused.” We just reassure her and let her know that the Lord is continuing to heal her and we don’t know how much she will be able to remember. We tell her that her injury is similar to a turned over filing cabinet. There are files thrown around everywhere in her brain and we have to pick them all up and put them back in order. Just continue to work hard and talk to the Lord. He will clear the confusion for you. She often has a real quiet time after she has been really confused and aggravated. We give her her space, but wonder if she is talking to the King. We just pray that those mighty arms are embracing her and whispering “be still and know that I am God!”
We have quit using the feeding pump for nightly feeds and have put Callie on a four times a day feeding schedule. This seems to be working well. She goes to therapy everyday as an outpatient during the week. The therapy is harder for her. Friday she started to cry when we pulled up to the gym. It did not last long. She does well once she begins. Why is it always difficult to start something? Things really aren’t so bad once you dig in.
I can’t help but put myself where she is and liken the circumstance to growing in the Word with the truth. As Christians we sometimes drag our feet to begin living the new truth that His word has revealed. Why? I don’t know. But once we are living as He commands us, life is much easier. I find so much freedom when I am obedient to His word.
Thanks for the continued prayer and the encouragement. Keep it real!
Love,
Frances
