A Glimmer of Hope


This morning Maddie was awake and peeked with her eyes every now and then, while we were at her older sister’s last soccer game of the fall season.  We are so blessed for each second, minutes, and day with our girls. Her neurologist didn’t want us to lose our hope but guessed that Maddie will probably die of seizures or a complication of her seizures. It’s terrifying to know that her illness is incurable and probably is getting worst. Each time she is back to her smiling self we see the glimmer of hope and each time she is seizing or sleeping listlessly we get scared of losing our sweet girl but our hope and faith is strong through God who is in control of all. There were many times during her hospital stay that I wanted to give up or lose faith but suddenly a sign, a phone call, a friend or a song would play on Maddie’s favorite Pandora station. Two songs that provided me with strength and faith while at my weakest moments were “I surrender all” and “Just as I am” that played on her favorite Pandora Station. God is reminding me that he is everywhere and with us.  

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Hebrews 11:1
