Hide and Seek
Not too much new to report on the Aria front. She still has the sporadic temperatures happening, and the medical team continue to run tests of various types to see if they can locate a cause. Aria as usual is rising to the occasion and acting like the champion she is. We are hoping nothing becomes of it as a infection, means she will be off the list till it is well and truly gone.
On another note thanks to those of you who has expressed sympathy and tried to put themselves in our shoes when commenting on the previous post. It is nice to hear people trying to understand the difficult journey we are on and saying it is ok to struggle.
For those who pointed us back to God, rest assured that we are still resting in God’s hands and timing, but we are struggling with the circumstances surrounding that. It is ok to struggle and say things seem too tough and to wish it could be another way or different. We are trying to make the best of our circumstances, but they are not circumstances we would of chosen to put ourselves in and not circumstances that are easy to explain to others. We accept this is where God has taken us and he is right to do that, but he doesn’t always put you in situations you enjoy.
I’m reminded of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane struggling with God in prayer and asking to have the cup removed from him. Even Jesus went through trying and emotional times, if it’s good enough for Jesus it’s good enough for us.

I think you are all doing amazingly well. You are so right- God does sometimes allow us to be in situations that would not be our choice at all- but He is faithful to us. And He does understand our frustrations and struggles- and it is not wrong- or ‘lack of faith’ to express those feelings. It is called honesty- and God is all for it. Bless you heaps guys- I really hope and pray that there will be special people there in far far away land that will take care of you

Hi Guys.
Praying for you all especially as it is indeed hard to be away from home and in a “strange” land for Christmas. The Lord willing a transplant will be just around the corner.
Blessings in the Redeemer

Reading your posts each day and am praying daily for your needs to be met. Just knowing that Jesus is right there with you and giving you the strength you need is comforting. He alone knows what is best and will be ever faithful.

Well said Hamish!!!!! Totally agree. I find myself on the opposite end this time. And I see now what people meant when they said “it’s just so hard to watch those you love go through trying times…our hearts just want to FIX IT for you!” That’s how I feel for you all, however, knowing no one can “fix it and make it all better.” I know the battle that rages inside of you trying and so desiring to TRUST GOD and His ways…..and yet your heart crying out and pleading with Him to remove “the cup.” That’s what brings me to tears the most!
All I can really say is how much you are LOVED and prayed for DAILY!
