Cast 4 OWWiE!!

Ugh this is so so so hard. Sasha cries when the casts come off and shrieks when they go back on...we are probably only 1/3 of the way through casting and they really take it out of me and her! We have six more in the next three weeks :( if only that was the end of this painful journey it would be easier. So many things we are just given by God that we forget to be thankful for like walking. So many kids here with us hurting and their parents hearts are breaking. Those that know Jesus ask if God loves me why do I hurt? Yes, Sasha and another girl here have asked that same question. So many answers don't do that question justice. So many answers seem trite and unhelpful.

Yes, Sasha God loves you. Yes, He created you with this birth defect. Yes, your birth parents terminated their rights to you. Yes, you were stuck in an orphanage for almost 13 years and yes this all hurts very badly and the future treatments will hurt worse. No it's not an easy question to answer and if I absolutely did not know that every Word of God proves true I would have no hope to offer Sasha or anyone else that is hurting. But today represents the day our Savior suffered the cross for us and I know despite the trials and tribulations of this world...my Redeemer lives.....Sasha's Redeemer lives.....and in case you're interested I'm proud of my brave, hurting daughter who believes and tells the doctors that Jesus is helping her! So please keep praying for her because she absolutely knows that Jesus is the answer.
