3. Our Journey Through The Valley (25)

• Our Journey Through The Valley (25)

  21 June, 2013

  Our faith took a "hit" yesterday.

  Sometimes our enemy takes the foibles and frailties of our human condition and launches his attack at those points of vulnerability in our lives. Bev had a number of very "unpleasant tests" today involving fine needles, low voltage electricity and a fair bit of grimacing. I supplied the grimacing .

  However, we now know that there is no doubt about Bev's diagnosis - she has Motor Neurone Disease. What we didn't want to hear was that her particular version is the worst version she could have encountered. While the Doctor would not speculate regarding time frames etc., it is obvious that they are probably not expecting a prolonged period until the end.

  The "hit" we took yesterday is not a mortal or lethal blow to our faith in God and we shall come through this attack but the experience has left us wounded......reeling from a direct hit.
