Temporarily Sidetracked

I can't believe August is almost half over already. I've definitely been on a sidetrack since May. As you know Dad got sick in May from the chemo - long story short ended up in the hospital for 10 long weeks. The track has taken a turn for the better though - he is now in rehab and doing great. He's been going to therapy twice a day and is able now to transfer from the bed to the wheelchair and back. He's even walked a little bit.

It amazes me how we manage to make it through lifes struggles when we are already so busy with life itself before we hit the roadblock. It goes to show that the saying really is true that God doesn't give you more than you can handle. I've really tried to put more focus into my faith in God during all of these challenges with Dad. It's always been hard for me to understand why we have to go through rough times and this time I'm really proud of myself for focusing on faith! It's definitely made a difference.
