Dear friends,
I sit here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon it is 4 oclock exactly as my Corvette clock sounds of to the sound of a 63 split window reving up. This is a sound I am vey familiar with it sounds a lot like my 57 fuel injection and brings back many memories,if you dont have good memories you have lived below the things God has planned for you,I will try to share my thoughts as intelegently as possible .
Over the last 8 months I have had to go back and draw on many good memories all the while experiencing many new both good and not so good new ones,this was and continues to be a totaly new part of my life.
It was Oct 20th 2009 and Judy and I were looking forward to a good experience that would allow us to expand our focus for this part of our life she would be pain free and be able to travel with me and we could enjoy a whole new life style ,although we are not wealthy or never have been we have lived within our means and had high hopes for some new adventures.
Florida for some races a little visiting of friends all of this seemed so easy because we were able in our own strength ,one small matter of a simple back surgery for Judy it would solve her pain and launch her to new places of joy all of this woud only take about 3 days an she would be as good as new pain free and south bound (a medical statment we will never forget) oufortunate circumstances came into the picture and all the plans from above came to a halt like a blown motor on the last lap of a race we would however begin a new race.
Judy aquired a staph infection in her surgical procedure and for the next 8 months would be confined to 3 different hospitials and look death in the eye at least twice and also the possibility of being a cripple for the rest of her life we are at home now and still fighting for a normal life and maybe a chance to go south this winter.
We have learned a great deal about life and the fragile side of our plans also the loving hand ofGod and yes this comes by way of the hands of people that love you and those that dont even know who you are we thank God for all of you and want to return the love in some way as God makes a way.
So you ask why the title 8 months and counting well the reality is we still have a long way to go but with the prayers of so many and the love Jesus has for us will keep believing much the way those refered to as back markers in racing keep trying always putting hope above failure .we have not crossed the finish line yet but we can see the staryers stand and just like Todd Biechner gets ready to declare the winner one day we will have an on track interview with or heavenly father and we need to be sure we are legal and can go to victory lane ,in the next months we will face many uncertain days and will continue to trust God even when it is hard and so after 8 months to the day we are still trusting for that southern trip to still be a reality will you pray with us as you have already done so faithfully.
I am going to try to continue this story but right now I need to finish getting supper and pray as I do for TriCity and all those that will be racing tonight.
Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding .look this verse up and then live by it it will change your life it has mine and I am a hard head.
Until next time ,
Chaplain Bill M.R.O.A.
