Many of you have asked so I thought I'd post a little update on sweet Emily. She continues to improve, but has a long road ahead of her. Earlier this evening, when I talked to her, she was just crying and tired of feeling bad and it occurred to me that she rarely feels bad. Even when she does, you rarely know it, because she just carries on. Last week, the doctor told her it could take a whole month to really feel better again and for her, that is a VERY long time.
I was thinking how sometimes when God slows us down, it is harder than we think it will be. A very dear friend of mine is pregnant and has had to slow down the last few days. How do you tell someone to slow down who has two little ones not even in school yet? How does Emily slow down when she knows that LOTS and lots of kids are depending on her at her job? How do you do this without feeling guilty or just plain mad?
Then I read this..."He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty..." Psalm 91:1
How wonderful to know that those who trust in God are secure...that God allows us to rest in Him. I am praying for my Emily that she will allow God time to heal her from her physical injuries, as well as the memory of this accident. And, that, in His time, she will be able to return to her normal activities. In the meantime, I am praying that God will remove any guilt she is feeling about asking for help. One of her most amazing qualities is that she is so very independent, and when you are that way, I believe it is more difficult to be in her present condition.
Keep her in your prayers...
Be blessed.

FOR SURE! I will. It's a hard lesson to slow down. But, God will slow us down. He does not mean for us to be perpetual motion. I have learned that! Be still and know.......
You do not know me, but I am one of Emily's friends from ACU- we were Kojies together. My heart hurts for your family. I will be keeping her in my prayers- thanks for updating.
Praying for Emily! Hope she can get some rest and know she is dwelling in the shelter of the Most High! Hope you have had a chance to get some rest, too! Love ya!
My intercession on Emily's behalf has not ceased! My prayer is that you and your family and that Emily will cling to the visual of having multitudes of angels warring, defending, protecting, and perserving Emily's precious spirit. May she rest in the hope and the peace of the Lord. I praise God for you, Mindi, even though I have never had the honor of knowing you personally.
Be blessed.
