Last 5 days have been nothing short of an adventure for our household. From plans that were made a month ago to a change of plans because a hospital stay that was unplanned.
One of my husband’s aunts, who he hasn’t seen for quite a few years, was planning on being in town. Or should I say, at his parents house for the weekend. So we planned a family weekend trip to see family as it would be a mini family reunion. Little did we know, Gideon’s body had other plans.
Wednesday night after church, Gideon got sick and threw up a ton. Like enough he got a bath and we had to shampoo carpets. He then went to bed. Woke up at 2 am ate and went back to bed til about 730. Thursday morning he decided to throw up again and then refused to eat. Which is a bad combination when one has GSD9a. Working with his Children’s Hospital team, we ended at our local hospital 40 mins away thinking we would get a bag of IV and then head home. Unfortunately, we ended up having to spend the night and it was close to a 24 hr stay.
Plans change and I am learning quickly – even more than I ever have – that going with the flow is easier said than done at times. I am learning to be okay with where God has placed us currently. I am learning to trust the Lord so much more than I ever thought. Not that I didn’t trust Him, but a deeper into the soul of my being kinda trust and having no Plan B-Z.
So if you find yourself, like me, having to leave behind the “what I thought it would look like” and looking forward to a big unknown, you are in the right place. Keep walking forward even if it’s hard to see. God’s got it and He knows whats up ahead.
