We Will Be Fine

We seemed to hit a brick wall Wednesday with VA and finally realized that we needed to re-evaluate: the reality is that the VA is a big overburdened, broken system. As God so often does, He sent help at just that moment and a sense of humility which called us to reality.

Audrey Mueller, our dear WV Interim Director of Recruitment and Connie Befus, from WV Paraclete Center stepped up yesterday and are helping us to investigate and prepare the way for going south to Link Care. Connie is interfacing with Paul Otto, our friend who works for VA in California, to try to understand the issues with Jeff's PTSD so that is very helpful.

It makes me think of Jesus' words to Peter in John 21:18 though he was indicating what type of death Peter would experience. It seems comparable to our experience as we find we must die to our own way and submit (OH HOW I HATE THAT WORD!) to those over us as though they are God's angels to us.

All this to say, we will be getting more help sooner than later; so we are going to be fine.
