Hi, I’m Lesa Brackbill. I write about advocacy, resilience, and building a life that creates meaningful, lasting change.

+ About Lesa

Today was mostly spent in silence as I tried to pray continually for Tori without distraction. Eventually I sang along to a couple of songs that were my prayers for the day  – My Heart is Yours (Passion) and Healer (Kari Jobe) – and then turned the radio back on (WordFM is always playing in our home). It was during the music time that I was brought to tears as I personalized the lyrics for Tori. 

Tori’s vision therapist, Miss Cheryl, came around 2:30pm and we confirmed that Tori likes the color yellow and loves lights.

  

Tori slept for six hours straight the last two nights so we are hoping this is her new pattern! Now that she is getting all of her calories during the day (since she isn’t throwing up), and now that we are learning how to stimulate her visually, maybe that helps. 

Today was another great day and we continue to pray for her complete healing.

    It is a privilege to pray for Tori and you and Brennan. “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible..” There is always so much happening that we cannot see…keep your eyes fixed on Jesus… and continue to pray and walk in faith.
