Hi friends, it’s been a minute.

I’m having a hard time focusing this post, a lot of life has happened.

I could write about joy and the gift the entire month of August was to our family.

I could write about disappointment; my transplant dates have been delayed due to an issue with my donor.

I could write about gratitude and explain how truly honored and grateful we are for the success of our t-shirt fundraiser. We sold 150 shirts!! That’s absolutely incredible. All of you that ordered one should have received it by now. We felt such an outpouring of love. THANK YOU.

I could write about grief and the constant reworking of changing my acceptance of what’s supposed to happen.

I could write about pride, watching my kids and husband do hard things and the growth that comes from it.

I could write about confusion and what I think is God’s voice vs. what really is God’s voice aligning it with the character of God and not my feelings.

It all resonates right now as we are learning to ride the wave and find peace in it.

Our biggest ask right now is to pray for my donor. Please continue to pray for her to resolve the issue that is holding up my transplant. Please pray it does not change my course and if it does dear friends, pray for my heart to take the disappointment in stride.

I am choosing to believe in God’s perfect timing. Not because it’s a platitude but simply because any other option is not helpful to me. I am praying to understand that there is a timeline at work here that I don’t understand or see. The option that this is all just chaotic is too much for me to process. That’s blunt honesty. I need pain to have purpose to cope well.

It’s all completely out of my control. Pray for us and I will continue to pray for you as we all navigate our own version of these waves in life.

Hopefully we will have an update soon.

Thank you for being a part of my healing journey,

Danielle
