A Little Bit of Pretty {Olivia}

8.06.2012

It was a tough weekend here... On Thursday morning Livy woke up with a high fever... We attempted to keep it down all day Thursday with Tylenol and cool baths... By Friday afternoon, her temperature had exceeded 105... I called my doctor and we were told to take her straight to the ER... We spent six hours in the ER... It was a difficult six hours... They tried to take her blood for testing FOUR times... It was torture for her and in the end, they never did find a vein... They ruled out all the obvious things so we were sent home with no answers.. All day Saturday her temperature was still around 103... So we prayed... And the Lord heard our prayers, along with those of many others... Sunday morning, the fever finally broke... She's still recovering and getting back to normal... I'm thankful that she's finally fever free after more than three days... And thankful that it was just a virus and not something more serious! I've never been through anything like that with any of our girls before... And it was a good reminder to not take anything for granted... So today I leave you with one of the sweetest bits of pretty I know, our Livy!


Be Still My Soul...

9.17.2008

"Be still and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10

The Lord has been continually bringing these words to my mind over the past few days... Life has been exceptionally busy... With little B to take care of, a house to clean, meals to make, and orders to fill, I've been struggling to find the time to "be still" and think about my God... That is my prayer today... That I will have the strength, through God's grace, to "be still and know that [He] is God"...

"Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;
Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,
So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye.
Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine
Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine."
Katharina von Schlegel, 1752
