Be Still
“Be still and know that He is God.” Psalm 46:10 There are moments in your life when only God can carry you through. These moments tend to come when you least expect them. Life is going good, even great. Then suddenly, you are thrust into a whirlwind of a storm without any warning. When you face life and death crisis, you need to know God and hear His voice clearly.

Friday, July 29, 2016, Miranda ended up in another emergency room because half of her body was numb with the other side having tremors. Also, her speech was slurred. She still had numbness in her face, extreme pain, and now leg pain had begun. The doctor at this emergency room had treated me and was aware of our diagnoses. She ran I.V. medication to help calm the symptoms, but instructed us to get Miranda to Dr. Neuro #7 as soon as possible. So, Brandon and I took Miranda to Maryland on Monday, August 1, 2016. Once again, life was spinning out of control. There was no time to think. We had to pray and react quickly to get Miranda
