My head knows, my heart struggles ... Never Once!


Once again, Elizabeth is back into the hospital, Lincoln Prairie Behavioral Health Center.  This time, she choose to go, it wasn't forced.

So, she is growing up just a bit - asking for help with her mental illness.  GOOD JOB Little Lady.

This is #5.  The fifth time she's been in a psych hospital.  The first time she agreed to go ... wanted to get help.

That doesn't make it any easier.  It still sucks.  It hurts.  My baby girl.

Pastor Rick Warren lost his son to mental illness right after Easter this year.  He says that they had 'the best people praying....' so do we.  Elizabeth is not miraculously fixed.  Neither was Matthew, their son.

My heart aches.  Still.  My head knows, God is in control. God is good...all the time. God cares.  My heart struggles.




My head knows - NEVER ONCE has God left me.... trying to move that to my heart.
