Hi friends, welcome to Diggin' In. I'm your host, Megan. This is a place where we discuss the things that really matter in life. We cut through the surface to dive deeper. So pull up a chair because here we're Diggin' In.
Adam's Dad's Recovery Update
00:00:17
Speaker
Hello, hello. it is Friday, which means it's time for another episode of Digging in I'm so glad that you're here. Deep breath. It has been a wild couple of weeks. um Adam's dad, as we mentioned in the previous um episode, had a pretty horrific ah bicycle accident and praise God, he has been just healing really, really well. But We were able, thankfully, to go and visit him and just love on mom and dad and be around to provide some moral support and um get some things done around the house and
Faith Amidst Uncertainty
00:00:59
Speaker
that kind of thing. And um I have to be honest, I have just really struggled to
00:01:06
Speaker
even just keep myself going, to be honest with you. um you know, when these big things happen in your life or even small things that just trigger these thoughts in your mind of like, what does the future hold? You know, i it's funny. I, I typically would say that I hold the future loosely. i i genuinely have,
00:01:26
Speaker
had just this peace with the Lord about the future and not worrying about it and truly looking forward to the day, um, that we'll be reunited, on the other side of glory, um, with him, whether that be, you know,
00:01:41
Speaker
passing away in this life or whether that be him rapturing us as his, as his bride and bringing us home. But I've just always had this peace, but this particular incident has just really had me, um, struggling to like keep going with everyday life. I mean, when someone you love gets hurt, um It just makes you think about a lot of things. And I know for myself, especially just seeing my husband, you know, it's his father that got hurt. And um just to really see how we each ah process, I would say, in
00:02:23
Speaker
um, I don't know, not tragedy because i mean, it was a tragic incident, but praise God there's, you know, we have so much to be thankful for on this end of it. Um, he's doing really, really well.
00:02:36
Speaker
Um, considering, I mean, he literally hit a bridge with
Emotional Processing of the Accident
00:02:40
Speaker
his body. So, um, anyway, when these big things happen in our life, it definitely causes us to just pause. And so, um you know, I've really just been trying to love Adam where he is and in his, you know, grief of, um, just his dad getting hurt and, and also processing what could have happened. Um, again, praise God that he's still alive.
00:03:09
Speaker
And that his his life was spared. And not only that, but I mean, there's not a scratch on his head, neck, or spine. His legs are okay. It's just, it truly is a miraculous um thing that the Lord protected him from.
00:03:23
Speaker
Anyway, ah you're probably thinking, why is she talking about this? Where's Adam? They're supposed to be talking about redemption and their marriage. And you are right, my friend. But I have gone all back and forth and just been thinking about my thinking and all in my head with my thoughts. And i have really wanted to sit down and record with Adam and, um, i I'm getting emotional and don't even want know why.
00:03:53
Speaker
Um, and be able to just tell you how good God is because he is all the time. But it's just been a really hard couple of weeks and we've got some, Travel coming in and, you know, ins and outs of town and celebrations for the 4th of July and things of that nature. And we don't want to rush it. And so i just want to ask for your grace and um thank you for your patience. We will absolutely come and talk. um I'm actually looking forward to just this upcoming couple of weeks that we've got planned. And there is going to be some sweet time that we'll be able to
00:04:33
Speaker
sit together and slowly, you know, unpack things and just talk about things in an an, unrushed environment. Um, and so I'm very much looking forward to that and we'll be able to give God more glory. And it's so funny as we've recorded these episodes, you know, God laid on my heart to write things down. And I've shared this several times, um, at the very beginning of our whole journey and,
00:04:59
Speaker
So I did. And, um, at some point, you know, that started taking shape as a book, you know, like with chapters in the layout and all of that good stuff. Um, and and there's so much of our story that I feel like is just appropriate for that kind of setting. Cause how could you possibly, and even in that, how could you possibly share every detail? I'm a detail person. I like to know the ins and outs because i feel like it just gives so much more context and, you know If you know the the nitty gritty details, then you can fully appreciate like i do the details of the story, you know like exactly how God wove everything to door together. um
00:05:38
Speaker
And that's the case for everyday life, and that's just not possible.
Seeking Prayers and What's Ahead
00:05:42
Speaker
um And so, yeah, I texted a close group of friends of mine just asking for prayer this week um because I've just found myself so weepy. And um I know that God has been doing so much and he always is.
00:05:59
Speaker
And my heart has been... Lord, more of you and less of me. And i can just sense and feel and see him bringing to the surface just more and more of my flesh, you know, that's still there that we will always wrestle with this side of heaven. And I'm so thankful for him bringing that to the forefront. And so i can see it for what it is and repent of it and turn and go another way. And so all of this to say, we are not going to be jumping on here today to talk about, redemption at the end of June, like we had planned and, you know, such as life. Um, and that's okay. So I am hoping to come and talk about fourth of July. will not necessarily talk about 4th of July, but talk about, um just freedom and the gratitude that I have for the freedom that we, we experience in this country that we're, living in and the United States. And it's our 250th anniversary of freedom and being a ah great nation under God that was created by some, um, humble men that truly sought the best, um, for a new country. he They sought the best for people, um, because they were humbled before the Lord. And there's so much, um,
00:07:23
Speaker
that God did in those men. there's so much history. Um, so anyway, I am hoping to at least scratch the surface and if, if nothing else, just point you in the direction of some really good, sound teaching on the foundation of our,
00:07:40
Speaker
country, um, coming up, but Adam and I will be back. I promise hopefully in July. I, I am trying to enjoy summer and take it for what it is and really soak up my time, especially with Noah, just cause he's home. I'm home and I don't want to miss these days. Um, you know, he's, in high school and it won't be long that he is still around. And so, um while i know I've endeavored and, um, the Lord has laid doing this podcast on my heart, that is still, you know, that still stands and that still is my desire, but I am wanting to be present.
00:08:22
Speaker
I shouldn't say, but, and I'm wanting to be present. So it doesn't have to be either, or it can be, and it just might not look exactly the way that I thought it would. So With that, I am going to end this and just say, I'm so thankful for you showing up each week. Um, I've gotten some really sweet messages from friends. Um, even then in the last couple of weeks, just catching up from old podcasts, you know, still a month that or two behind. Um, and it's just so encouraging to know that the Lord is using this, um, to glorify himself because that's what I'm here to do. so Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. Thank you for your support. um If you do, ah ah if you don't mind, i would love your your prayers for Larry, who's still recovering, and for Kathy, his wife, my mother and father-in-law. They are wonderful. They are believers. They love the Lord. And this whole thing has just been...
00:09:18
Speaker
really ah wild, but so cool to see how God has used his people and, um, just the miracles that he's answering each and every day. So as always, I give him praise and to God be the glory in it all. And we'll see you guys soon. Thanks.
