to show He is powerful enough

Well after a school year of hardly any illness for the 3 big boys we have had one rough summer when it comes to being sick. Poor guys have had 3 stomach bugs.

The first bug was by far the worst bug we have ever experienced. The 4 little guys got it and Chad and I had faced extreme tiredness and that you dread getting sick so you kinda feel sick but aren't. It lasted 5-7 days and is the bug responsible for Ezra's dehydration and hospital stay. Jude, Shiloh and Asher all had it and they were barely able to stay hydrated enough to skip an IV. It was a very very horrible week.

The second bug we faced took down Chad, Asher and Jude. It is the bug responsible for the wedding debacle.

The third bug got all of us but to varying degrees with Asher getting it the worst. Poor Asher.

In all its been not fun.

After throwing up at the wedding Jude asked why God let us get sick. I didn't have a good answer because I was a little frustrated with God at the moment so instead of trying to answer I instead asked Jude why he thought God let us be sick again. Jude's answer was super great and just goes to show that God uses his little guys to teach us.

"I think God lets us be sick to show He is powerful enough to heal us." - Jude, age 6

 


I guess God wants us to see his healing power.
