“In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid . . . I am under vows to you, O God; I will present thank offerings to you. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.” Psalm 56:11-13

We are offering thanks to our God for moving Isaac forward in his recovery. This morning I walked into Trust Point singing the song “Marvelous Light” to myself. I asked Isaac to help me with the words and he was able to recall them; “Into marvelous light I’m running, out of darkness . . . .” Then I read Psalm 56 to Isaac. I didn’t make the connection between the song on my heart and the scripture until he and I talked about it afterward. God is moving in Isaac, causing him to walk, run rather, before God in the light of life. I praise Him for that!

Isaac has a very poor short term memory, but when I questioned him later after he readied himself for the day of therapy, he remembered the name of the song and also opened his Bible and turned to the Psalm I read with him. Praise the Lord! This is incredible because he didn’t even remember taking a shower 20 minutes earlier, and we read the Bible even before that.

The folks at Trust Point met this afternoon to assess Isaac’s progress. We were very thankful to find out they are recommending he advance to the next level of rehab at a the Transitional Learning Center (TLC). This is two weeks earlier than originally planned! Kris and I already met with a coordinator TLC last Friday, and Isaac and us met with them again this morning. We are very optimistic about the move. Isaac performed very well on the test they conducted with him this morning. Once Isaac is accepted at TLC, we plan to make the move. It should happen later this week.

Please pray that God will go before us and prepare the way to TLC, that the doors will be opened to Isaac. TLC specializes in patients with brain injuries. These are the only patients they treat. It will require rehab from 8:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m. daily. This is very intense, but the doctors believe the aggressive cognitive therapy is what Isaac needs.

Please pray that Isaac will be able to keep pace. Better yet, let’s pray that God sets the pace for Isaac as he runs before God in the light of life! Praise You Lord, Jesus. “You are unfailing love!”
