A Rock And A Hard Place
Have you ever been placed in a situation where neither path looked so promising. It seems that every time I turn around I have a decision to make that is either a rock or a hard place. Today is one of those days. There are so many daily decisions that we make for our Ashley and so often we wonder if we are choosing wisely. I believe in making informed decisions. However right now I am really struggling because I don't feel very well informed. It seems every time I talk with Trish I end up asking a whole lot of questions and most of the time I don't have enough information to offer any solutions. I am stuck between that rock and that hard place almost everywhere I turn. I cannot be more proud of Trish and the character she is displaying as she is bombarded each and every day with so many decisions. I struggle with knowing that she is facing the giants all alone while life goes on for me, Blake and Allie. It is so hard to carry on here knowing that she is struggling there. I spoke to her 4 or 5 times on the phone today, but every time I had to tell her I would have to call her back later because I had patients waiting for me. Let her down by telling her I can't talk now or make patients sit around and wait on me. A rock and a hard place. Spend more time in Omaha with my girls or spend more time in Longview being responsible for maintaining life on this end. A rock and a hard place. I suppose tonight as I go to sleep I will be praying for direction. Praying that God would show me what is softer, the rock or the hard place.

Dave....I know you have a enormous load....praying for you. Thanking God for giving you the ability to work & provide for your family....& the ability to "hold" it together on the outside when you have so much going on....when you are so torn. God is so evident in your life & Trish & your family..... I don't know how you would survive something like this with HIM not in the center..... I think it would be impossible. Praying.....for you guys...
Dave,
Thanks for sharing your struggles. We will pray for peace on your end. As hard as it is for us to all watch and pray - I know that must be so hard for you too. I pray for the rock you find yourself against to be THE Rock - the Lord, and that you will find strength!
praying for you Dave. I cannot imagine that struggle. If it helps at all, it seems to me that you and Trish have handled this very well.
Dave, I fully understand about the rock and the hard place thing...been there several times,and its not a good place to be. We have been writting, praying for your little Ashley for a while now and will never stop, we both feel as though She is a part of our family. And I just wanted to let you know that you are more than welcomed to call us at any time, maybe just talking to someone will help soften that (rock) 903-947-6378 God bless you all.
Dave, I know I don't tell you enough but I am praying for you all the time as well as for Trish and Ash and Blake and Allie. It breaks my heart that your family is separated but I know that God has great things in store for you all after this storm is over. Continue to stand on the solid rock; continue trusting in Jesus for your strength and He WILL give you the courage and strength you need to make it through each day. I love you all very, very much. Please let me know how I can help more. Mom
