These weeks keep flying by and we are through another one. To those visiting, Laura looked great this week and continued on her road to recovery. The progress is minimal at this current stage. However, once Laura’s brain is “re-connected,” we will be implementing the principle of momentum. My healthy fear is that Laura will be improving so rapidly, we will have to return to writing updates daily. We welcome that challenge, but solely through the direction of God and our Laura. Keep praying specifically for measured and continual progress. Maintain the faith regardless of what anyone thinks, states, or claims. We are not denying reality. We are declaring the will of the creator of all things, in Him we trust.
One final reminder for the special evening planned by Laura’s family and friends taking place this Sunday evening, 7PM, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ellisville. Come and enjoy music, messages, and God’s presence, all while honoring the life and recovery of our precious Laura. Be there to welcome Laura to her first event since the accident. This should be a night to remember!
Maintaining a constant sense of peace during intense adversity is an unenviable task. Our emotions cause us to fail and consequently, fall short of this ideal. Why do we often allow these emotions to destroy our chances of obtaining pure and perfect peace? An entire book could be dedicated to explaining the issues and problems that conflict with our ability to achieve peace. Contrary to popular belief, peace is not being comfortable; peace is not calm surroundings; peace is not the avoidance of confrontation. Well then, what is perfect peace and how can we possibly reach it? The bible explicitly tells us to draw strength FROM GOD to change those things within our power, TRUST GOD by accepting those things we cannot change, and ASK GOD for the wisdom to discern the difference. Until you understand and internalize this principle, peace will not be your reality. We pray that peace be with you this day!
YOU, LORD, GIVE PERFECT PEACE TO THOSE WHO KEEP THEIR PURPOSE FIRM AND PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU. (Isiah 26:3)
We love you,
Jeff and Laura Laughlin
