Today I had a phone call from a lady named Linda in Topeka who works for Social Security and Disability Services. She had some questions for me and so I gave her a call back. This post is to just remind you how amazing God's work is and how He is in control. We have filled out pages and pages of paperwork and just putting it in God's hands as to whether we will receive any allowances from Social Security or KPERS. We have heard a lot of horror stories and so we have not been worrying about any of it and just praying for God's will. I called Linda back and answered the questions she had for me and she noted to me that she had just received our case on her desk yesterday and that she hates getting cases like these because she just feels for the person. I mentioned that it is just one of those things you never think will happen to you especially at 30. She said I know because my daughter had a brain bleed at 31 although it was not as bad but it scared them as well. We talked for quite awhile about how things change and how balance and vision was a big area of struggle for her daughter as well. She ended up saying how she would love for me to talk with her daughter and how we could be encouraging to one another. She wrapped up the conversation by letting me know when more paperwork would be coming to me and how they will be requesting a mental status with an IQ test. She said we don't think you are crazy, but since I have had memory and concentration issues since the stroke they need a follow up.
I just had to sit back and think twice about the phone call I just had with this woman. I guess what I got out of it was not just that I have MORE paperwork to fill out, but how we are reminded of the little details that God places in our everyday life without us taking the time to notice. I was just thinking about that it was not a coincidence that Linda in Topeka, KS with a daughter that had a brain bleed at 31 received my paperwork on her desk yesterday out of the tons of disability cases and tons of employees working for Social Security. Now that is a God thing!
Thank you Jesus for your little reminders each and everyday. May we take time to see your hand at work in our lives and give you the glory you so deserve.

It has been amazing this whole journey how God has had his hand in every detail. If only we take time to see him at work. It is such a small world to think the therapist come to the clinic, and Kim works there. How the lady in Topeka has a daughter. God is sooo good. Love you all-mom
