Doctor update

Well we had another doctor appointment last Monday. This was with the heart doctor. He actually said Eric's heart was getting stronger! Wow! He told us that he does not remember many patients, but that he would never forget Eric. They are still trying to figure him out. :) The doctors know where we stand on why Eric is still here on earth, and we know that a couple of them are curious about our God. One is from China and he had a few questions after Eric's recovery. One is from India and let us know quickly that he did not believe in our God or anything else. He now tells me...yes Kimberlee, your God is amazing and he is re-thinking this whole God thing. YEAH! Please pray that these doctor's will continue to seek God. :)
The doctor on Monday told us that even though Eric is doing well, they still don't want him to go back to his job as a phone man climbing poles or ladders. After a year they will check him again and see if they feel he can go back to that job. We left there knowing we had to contact AT&T and see if they had another position for Eric. Well, wouldn't you it...the call center is being moved to Alabama! Eric called the union to see where he stood in all this. They told him there were no jobs there except for his job. Yep, the one he can't do.
So now we have to decide wheather Eric should go on permenant disability or try to get a computer or drawing job some where. Decisions, decisions. We have to figure the best for him that will keep his health insurance.
We ask that yall please pray with us as we try to see where God is leading us. Pray that God would make it perfectly clear what is best for all of us.
Thank yall so much for all your prayers and support! We love you all! :)

What's next?

Ever have so much go on in your life that you wonder what's next? I try not to do that, but some times...ya just gotta wonder. As I look over our past year I have to sit, wonder, cry and then laugh about it all. Since last February, I have broke my foot, our ice maker broke, Eric broke (massive heart attack), heating/AC broke, I got the swine flu, a stomach virus, have a stack of doctor bills, the bank is broke, dryer is barely making it and now the oven broke! You can see why I wonder. Today at church, the worship and the message really got to me. I found myself tearing up so bad that I thought about running to the bathroom. But I didn't. I stayed. I thought, wow, this is really meant for me to hear if it is making me so emotional. I have to tell you that I felt so much better when I left. I had a wonderful smile on my face. The folks around me who did not know what was going on in my life would have thought, wow, there goes a happy gal! And I am happy! I have had a crazy year, but wow, look at the blessings I have had! God has been so amazing to my family! Yeah it sounds bad, but look past the crazinest and appreciate the blessings. Don't worry about tomorrow, take care of today. Accept the peace that God has given us all. I happily accept it and thank God for it!
