Description:My struggle to find the truth of Psalm 16:11, "You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever." no matter how sad and difficult the days get. I write about these days as a mother of four who recently gave her oldest child back to God after 8 1/2 years of battling for her life through medical and developmental challenges. My remaining children include two healthy kids and one with his own medical challenges that fortunately do not slow him down at all. Life is never dull, never easy, never predictable, and always full of blessings even in the direst emergency.
