Most of you who are reading this blog are unaware that I, Carri, am a distant cousin to the 25th President William McKinley. In actuality, my middle name is the maiden name, Allison, of his wife. Well, a little known or unknown fact to some is that that the highest point in the U.S. is Mt. McKinley. That is the mountain that I visualize we are climbing during this journey.
We have determined that Samantha Grace is going through what is known as the Honeymoon phase. Sounds like fun right?! Well, it isn't anything like the honeymoon Joshua and I experienced in Playa de Carmen, Mexico almost exactly 5 years ago. (Can you believe it's almost been 5 years, Caron & Nathan?)
During Samantha Grace's Honeymoon phase, her BG (Blood Glucose) levels will be all over the charts. So it is a constant give-n-take battle with the insulin dosages.
Through this mountain climb, I am continually reminded that God brings us new strength each and every day; and through this entire mountain climb God is teaching us perseverance. Coming from a very dedicated runner, I am relearning the meaning of stick-to-itness (if that is a word or phrase). I know that Josh and I cannot handle all of these Highs and Lows alone, for that is why the continual renewed strength we receive every minute of our day comes from our loving Lord.
I ask for wisdom, again, for the doctors as they are currently refiguring her insulin dosages for the second time in two days this week. She is having a great day of playing and is currently resting after a long night. We also ask for prayers that this would be a short honeymoon phase.
"Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness."
- Psalm 115:1
P.S. Joshua has written a song about our journey that will hopefully be recorded and posted soon!
