Seeing Alex's recovery progress so fast is truly amazing. There are feelings of love and joy - I am so proud at how well he takes everything - that I doubt I ever would have experienced. If I had the choice, I'd never want Alex to go through all that shit we've seen this summer - it was aweful! However, it was out of that horrendous experience that we are seeing our Miracle walk and laugh in a new light.
Alex has always been the greatest joy of my life; but, seeing him so excited about conquering this stroke is more than I can bear. Every time he laughs for joy when he takes a step, and now runs, it brings a tear to my eye. I am watching a show (Rescue Me) that often asks, "Where is God in all this?!" I can tell you that, though my faith was never really rocked this summer, I often asked, "God, where are you? Why Alex? Why now?"
Well, this fall I am hearing and seeing His answer. I know that God is using this period of healing for Alex to not only display His love by speeding Alex's recovery, but He's also doing a work in my heart. He's teaching me about the Father's Heart; He's teaching me about overcoming; He's teaching me the power of will.
God is showing that even that what is meant to harm and destroy can be turned around to create joy and life!
