I spent a long time reflecting and reading my journal of those days and weeks, and then months of all that transpired last year.  I wrote a long email to you all, including many of the Scriptures that were so encouraging to me&#8230;guess it wasn&#8217;t that good afterall, since I accidentally deleted it after writing it.  UGH!!!! <!--more|inline--><br \/>\nSo, the bottom line of all my reflections was this:  we saw a true miracle last year&#8230;one that all of you took part in with your prayers, encouragement and help.  Why God saved Bob&#8230;I don&#8217;t know.  But lest you&#8211;like I do&#8211;think that God doesn&#8217;t do miracles any more&#8230;or doesn&#8217;t answer prayers&#8211;remember how He saved Bob 1 year ago when all &#8220;statistics&#8221; say he should have died, and that his lengthy stay in the hospital and then repeated emergencies and surgery was a continual lesson to us of how the Body of Christ should work&#8211;in love, support and unity.  I wrote in my journal each time any of you called or brought food or emailed&#8230;I will not forget how each one of you were so vital in helping me get through this.  We sat down with the kids last night and talked about this&#8230;and the biggest thing they remember through the whole time was how fun (yes!) it was to have so many people here, and have surprise meals coming&#8230;you made a lasting impression on their little hearts, when the memories could have been so much worse.<br \/>\nMay we all see God work so mightily this year.!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I am embarassed to write this but&#8230;Feb 2 was the &#8220;anniversary&#8221; of Bob&#8217;s aortic dissection&#8230;hard to believe it&#8217;s been a year.
