Deut 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” God continues to reveal His glory and sovereignty throughout this trial. God went before us last evening as we met with Trust Point rehab. He had already prepared the way for Isaac to be accepted and will actually transfer THIS Sunday! Praise the Lord for his answers. Now we won’t have to bounce Isaac between facilities and therapists; this will be huge in his continued advancement. All along, God has set it in our hearts to pray that every step in recovery and healing is ground taken, no turning back. He reminded us of the promise He gave Joshua when he entered the promised land; every step he takes God will give him. It’s incredible to see how God is going before us and working out every single detail for Isaac’s recovery and the Lord’s Glory. God is making the way and giving the victory!

I am thankful that Isaac had a pretty restful night, minus some interruptions for vitals, blood drawings, and walks to the bathroom. I was very encouraged last night when we called his brother Ivan in Oregon. Isaac held the phone himself and was very coherent throughout conversation. I was praising God when, during an evening prayer with his friends, Isaac took the liberty to pray out loud. He said, “thank you that even though I can’t see you, I can hear you.” Thank you God that Isaac is hearing your promises of help, mercy, and unfailing love!

Isaac did very well eating his dinner last night. He read the front of one of his get well cards, and he also wrote in a coloring book, “Hi Lord, yes! what do you want?” The punctuation marks were included! We have been writing down what he says, and also picking out a word for the day. The other day he used the word rambunctious, and yesterday the big words were questionnaire and spectacular.

Please pray for the transition to Trust Point tomorrow. Also, pray for a good blood pressure and labs. We’re trusting that everything within his body is coming into perfect order.

Love to all in Christ Jesus!
