Let me first say I love my wife. She is beautiful, funny, and takes better care of me than I ever imagined possible. Just today she has made me breakfast, cookies, and is currently making a soup that boggles the mind and taste-buds. And those are just surface, silly things; she is emotionally the reason I am.
I have felt horrible recently because Lana has not been happy while here in Missouri. A lot of things have not gone the way we envisioned them, and though we know God is very near, we have not had the eternal eyes to acknowledge His work. And yet, Lana, though depressed, is still amazing and full of life when we are alone together (the rest of you are missing out and that is seriously your loss). Our relationship has grown greatly as we depend more on each other to survive a life we aren't always happy with. We have faith that God is waiting for us to get out of our funk and listen to Him. Lana questions her faith right now, but I assure her she is not lost. I know no one who mourns the hurt and loss of others more than she. "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn." And though we may not be rejoicing much on our own currently, we have--we will--and Lana continues to love and care for me and show an empathy for the world I never imagine possible.
So please continue to pray for us, for Lana's health, for wisdom in what we should do. And if at all possible, laugh with us--we need to laugh... Also, try not to ask Lana too much about her job or her health (I mean show you care, but spend more time discussing other things). She is getting healthier though not where she wants to be yet; and her job stinks (don't talk about the job). Ask her about God and the future, and tell her everything about yourself. Thank you all, you have given us so much. And thank you to all who read this, because I know you all contributed in some way in making my wife who she is--and I like her quite a bit.
On a lighter and scarier note, we saw a bald eagle (no joke) carrying a dead cat down our road the other day. Our cats may not survive.
