Hello everyone. I know it has been a while since I have posted. But today seems to be a fitting day todo so. Friday the 18th, Noland was admitted into the hospital with bad stomach pain and vommitting. We were hopeful that it was just a sickness and nothing that was serious or in relation to his previous incident. After the CT scan, they doctors told us that he has a blockage in his intestines and they have yet to determine the next step. We are hopeful that they will not have todo another surgery, but we also realize that there is an all knowing God above who has the best planned for Noland. Sitting again in a cold hospital room brings me back to the day that was full of uncertainties. It brings me back to the day where all we could do is have faith. All we could do is have hope. By being reminded of this I am continually in hope, and faithfully waiting for the next step. We don't know what's next, but I do know that Noland is strong, so strong, and so is our Father. This morning, waking up with a bunch of friends who I love and love me was the best way to start my birthday. They fill my heart with joy. As the day went on the joy diffused, as the circumstances were an affect on my happiness. When I walked into the hospital room i wasn't joyful, I was sad, I was almost angry. I kept asking "God why are you putting Noland through this? Hasn't he been through enough pain?". I was uncertain. I was scared. But sitting now, looking at his face sleeping, I see a face that is so strong, a heart that is so pure and a life that is so blessed. I must keep this in mind when the enemy fills me with doubts. We must stay strong, like Noland, a person with so many reasons to be complaining, but yet doesn't say a word. Let us rejoice, let us have joy, even in sorrows, even in our worries. Let us see that our uncertainties are certain with Jesus. So, no, this day was not my "ideal" plan, but God intended for this day to happen. And in the waiting and in the uncertainties, let us be certain that we serve a great God who deserves praise even in our uncertain circumstances. Let us see that the best is yet to come and until the day we breathe our last breath we must strive to be certain in Christ our Lord. praying faithfully, Gabrielle
