This morning, some friends from church gave up their time and energy and resources to come build us a ramp in front of our house! (Thank you Blaine, Christie, Curt, & Tracy!!) It was absolutely incredibly and we are so humbled by their love and service to us! I have been struggling to get Caleb out of the house each day. Because we only have one stair in the backyard, we have been going out that door and around the yard, through the mud and grass, to get him to the car. So this ramp is SUCH a HUGE blessing!! When we learned they were putting in a temporary ramp, we had no clue it would be this incredible!!
About the time they were finishing up the ramp, church was over and so even more people came over to say hi and encourage us! In fact, Bryan our worship leader came and led worship, Zach shared some teaching, and they even brought us communion to take with them. It brings tears to my eyes to know that they, and so many from our church, would love us enough to serve us this way!
How in the world will we ever say thank you enough.....
We love you Hillside.....

Julie, I was brought to tears this morning reading your blog post. I have been following your story on here. As I have battled my own health issues the past few years including Brain surgery last year, I can truly empathize with your husband. My condition is rare and it took many years for them to figure out what it was. By God's grace I found doctors who understood and were able to help me and continue to do so as I continue on. I believe that God puts us exactly where we need to be and with the doctors we need to be with when it is right. Caleb will have such a ministry to those around him and especially those who deal with pain. You will have a ministry to others who are care takers. God has a purpose in that and will put people in your path in amazing ways that you will never expect.
I pray God's healing on Caleb and His grace on you as you patiently love and care for your husband. I pray God's wisdom on you guys as you search for doctors and a cure. I pray God's wisdom on the doctors He brings you to that they would know how to help Caleb. I pray for God's grace on Caleb to endure the pain that only he knows the intensity of and that God would protect his faith, his heart, his spirit and his body. I pray God's protection on you the caretaker and that He would give you the grace and strength to be all Caleb needs you to be. I pray God's healing on Caleb either in this life or in the life to come. And most of all I pray for your witness to be strong and sure both as individuals and as a married couple. May God grant you two many long, and healthy days together.
Love you friend!
