If we are devoid of a theology of suffering, we are in danger of marginalizing our expectations of heaven… If we conclude that we are now to experience total healing, unfettered joy, unparalleled success, and freedom from pain, then why be concerned about heaven? How did Paul handle his sufferings and encourage the church to face theirs? Not by trying to produce heaven on earth but by recognizing that for the Christian the best is yet to be. He took the moment and put it in the larger context of God’s unfolding purpose, not only for time but also in eternity (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).

{Prayer} Update on my daughter

Hi everyone...

After a long month of tests and time, we have results from my daughter's MRI and EEG.

As you probably remember, I asked for prayer because she was having an occasional seizure in her sleep. So we took her in early October for an MRI and EEG.

The MRI is perfectly normal...  the EEG was not.  The front/right side of her brain is misfiring and when that causes misfiring all over her brain, she has a seizure.  It's treatable with Tegrital and she'll be on that for a couple years.  The neurologist expects her to outgrow this in 2 years.  The drug will allow her to get through it a little faster than just letting her grow out of them on her own.  So I am struggling with medicating my daughter for this reason, but if it helps her get through this, then I can just trust that the Lord will be keeping her healthy through this time.

Thanks for your prayers.  She's doing fine.  There are some side effects with this drug that we'll just have to deal with as they happen.
