Oh, Kauri Girl

Today Kauri felt a little dizzy and sick.  She wanted to take the sacrament so we arranged for her to get some special bread that didn't have any fat. During the sacrament Kauri felt a little nauseous so mom and Kauri ran to the bathroom.  Kauri wasn't able to keep everything down.  She lost all she drank/ate and then some.  She then waited in the foyer when she lost it again.  So Annika took her home where she continued to be nauseated.  She kept saying that the pain was awful.  She didn't have anything left in her stomach, yet she still continued to dry heave.  Now she finally is getting some sleep.

As you can imagine, Kauri's spirits are pretty low today.  She is so sad.  She was so hopeful that things were good and she was getting better (maybe she still is.) While watching Kauri sleep I was thinking about faith.  There have been so many loved ones who have exercised their faith through this whole ordeal.  Faith that Kauri will be healed, faith to understand, and faith to grow.  Watching Kauri be sad and be so sick.  I couldn't help but ask the dreaded question. Why?

Then the music that was playing to help calm Kauri down and to help her drift into sleep played a song that comforted me, and that I hope will comfort Kauri as well as some others who ask, Why?

Keep the Faith-Jenny Phillips

The storm is rolling in, and you're wondering where He is.

As the billows are tossing high.

You feel alone, and He truly knows

Even when you're in the dark. He's there,

Right where you are.

Hold on

Even when you're eyes can't see your destiny, 

He still believes.

Be strong, He can see tomorrow's change.

He's the surest way, 

Keep the faith.

He sees the daily grind, and He feels each tear you cry.

 He understands your heart, 

He never forgets a child that is his. 

Nothing escapes his view. 

He's there pulling for you to

Hold on

Even when you're eyes can't see your destiny, 

He still believes.

Be strong, He can see tomorrow's change.

He's the surest way, 

Keep the faith.

He is the surest way.....Keep the Faith.

Kauri is going to be healed.  It isn't on our time.  Our loving Heavenly Father has a plan.  We don't know all the answers to all the questions.  I don't know Why Kauri is still suffering, I do know that Heavenly Father loves her and His son Jesus Christ knows what she's going through.  They are both there for her. 

Thanks to Jesus Christ we can Keep The Faith.  Christ is there to help and lift anyone who may be falling.  Just like in this picture, Christ is holding our hand lifting us out of any stormy water that comes our way. The Savior is our loving older brother who will do anything He can to help us.  He will always be there for us, anytime we need Him. He can get us through the rockiest places, He'll pull you out. Christ will lift Kauri. She needs to keep "holding on" and "Being strong, He can see tomorrow's change."

 We just need to Keep the Faith.
