A Dream Come True

We are in the trailer. A lot of inspiration comes from this trailer. Much of this blog was written from this trailer, unfortunately. Much of this blog was written and much of the inspiration from this trailer came while "camped" out in the hospital parking lot for days and even weeks on end.

For those of you who don't know, we bought this trailer somewhat on a lark. It was truly a gift handed to us by God more than two years before Rebekah was diagnosed. We can look back on it and see how God had plans for this trailer that we never could have even dreamed of dreaming (or having nightmares) about. It has been perfect in more ways that we could imagine and that can only be God.

When we bought the trailer we thought the "upper" queen bed would be a great retreat for mommy and daddy. A quick try and we realized being 6 feet up with only 18" between us and the ceiling was not really going to work. That is when we started dreaming about the girls sleeping up there. Well, years later here we at the beach about an hour from our house. The rain is pounding down all around us and giving a nice pitter patter on the roof. There is no TV reception and only a few Christian MP3 on the laptop playing over and over again. And, oh ya, the girls are up on top for the first time ever!!!


We still have to keep 1/2 the bed folded up so that the girls will not fall out so things are not exactly as we would have planned them - they never are - but it is truly a milestone reached and a dream come true.

If you are thinking what a tiny little dream this is, you are right. But it is one that gives us much to rejoice about. If you are thinking what a tiny little dream this is, you are right. But we ask you to think about how much rejoicing in your life you are missing if all you do is focus on the big dreams and forget to rejoice over the little ones.

We feel like this is one more step away from where we have been. Please, however, keep in mind that there are those that are just beginning their journey or have not been able to put it behind them. Please keep in mind McKenna, Rachel, Angela, Josh, Gage and... the list is endless so please make your prayers endless as well.
