Almost 18 years ago, life changed in an instant when Steven Sauder sustained a head injury after a car collision. Although there have been many difficulties, God's grace has been clearly evident. The past few years, Steven continued to decline, yet God gave him the strength to "never give up". On May 9, 2011, he reached the end of his journey.

Sorry!

I just looked at my two last posts and realized that I wrote some of the same things in both posts! So sorry!! (It's corrected now.) I also write for a brain injury publication and got confused about what I wrote where. Next time I'll keep better records!

For those of you who are weary and worn and fearful of what the elections will bring or of countless other things, I'd like to share with you Isaiah 40:29 and 31 from the Amplified Bible. This version gives a new picture to well-loved verses....

"He (the Creator of the ends of the earth) gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength, causing it to multiply and making it to abound...Those who wait for the Lord - who expect, look for, and hope in Him - shall CHANGE and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up close to God as eagles mount up to the sun; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

I thank God that He gave me a visual example of living out this verse in Steven.

Lord, change us, that we may lift our wings and mount up close to You!
