Keep Your Focus

I love this picture of Regan and Ty playing the Wii. They are so focused on the game and the intensity of the moment, winning being the goal. You can reach a place in your spiritual walk where you are so focused on God's word that no circumstance can disturb your joy, and no trial can shake your peace. How do you walk joyfully in the midst of tribulation? By spending time in the Word. You meditate on the things of God. You learn to depend on the Word for God's answers to your situation. You don't look at the problem, when you do that your problems become your focus, and the joy of the Lord is no longer your strength. Focusing on the problem is a strength zapper and joy killer. Yikes, when you put it that way you want to make sure you stay focused on the Word of God. Then you can walk in peace and confidence through any trial or circumstance. I focus my thoughts and words on what the Word says, and not what things look like at the moment.

Speaking of the moment, Regan is doing great, his numbers are starting to trend up. We are believing we will be home some time this week. He had a reaction to the platelets this Sunday, so the blood bank is running tests to see why this is happening. It is weird, most of the time he has absolutely no reaction, but every once in a while he has an allergic reaction to them and they have to stop the treatment and give him meds to help his breathing and swelling. It keeps the precious nurses on their toes, that's for sure. He has such a great disposition, he is really doing well emotionally, all things considered. He is very focused on getting home, he misses his brothers terribly. Having Hayden come to the hospital has been such a blessing and really cheers him up. It is interesting how important family relationships become in situations like this. They boys are realizing the value of one another and how blessed we are to have each other. (this will come in handy when they start to bicker at home)

Prayer Focus:
For numbers to continue to go up.
His immune system to get stronger.
To come home and stay home for the holidays!
Ultimately for the healing to manifest in his body according to the Word, by His stripes Regan is healed.
