Now, Look at God

Journal entry by Crystal Swinton —

Hello Family,

I had a visit with Chris for lunch on yesterday 3/8, He appeared to be very confused and agitated not at all himself.  I left there upset feeling defeated and worried. I didn’t sleep at all last night. Every time I woke up, I just prayed to God asking him to restore his memory, to bring him out of the fog, and give him sound a mind.  

Today Friday 3/9 Bobby went to visit Chris this morning, I am very happy to say Bobby reported that he had a good visit with Chris. They talked for a while he told him about his physical therapy what he was working on, and how he getting along in the Center. He told Bob that Missy came to visit him also. From Bob’s account he appeared to be very much in the here and now. He understood everything they talked about, and very much engaged in conversation. The Lord heard my cry. Thank You GOD!!  Keep praying. Love You All Crystal
