Isaiah Buck 4-10-09

I am thinking and praying a lot for Isaiah........he is such a fighter. I wish he would wake up, yet I know that God's timing is perfect and he will waken Isaah when the time is right. That doesn't always keep me from giving God my little opinions though...LOL. I call them prayers, but I am sure God calls them "opinions".
This morning I was thinking about my hydrangeas and how I am excited to see them come up and prove that Spring really has arrived (silly me). But then I thought that if they did come up too early, they might get bit by the frost and the results would not be good. My friend Sharon also had the same thoughts going through her head and she wrote a beautiful message on her facebook page about Isaiah and this is what she wrote:
"Last fall, my husband completed the rock-walled flower garden that can be seen from my kitchen window. I planted crocus bulbs, hyacinth bulbs and tulip bulbs then. A couple of weeks ago, the little crocus leaves shot up out of the ground. I was so excited to see them. I've been watching them with such anticipation...where is the flower? This morning when I looked out my window...a little yellow crocus had bloomed. I am so excited.I thought back at the bulbs that I planted. Bulbs look strange - like there is no life in them. Those bulbs lay comatose in the ground all winter with seemingly no life in them - unable to express themselves. But all the while, my Creator was working in them - getting them ready to bloom. First there were the leaves that popped out of the ground - just the beginning part of what the crocus would become.It has reminded me of our dear brother, Isaiah. He lies on his bed comatose (bulb) - but our Creator is working in him. There have been little signs (leaves) - eyes tracking light, movement of his arms and legs and eyes. We all wait in anticipation for when he will bloom - come into a full flower - and be able to fully express himself. But it gives me hope. Everytime I look out my kitchen window and see that beautiful little crocus bloom - I am reminded that the Creator of the universe is taking care of Isaiah and it gives me great comfort and fills my heart with hope."
Many of Sharon's thoughts give me hope and strength and remind me to pray without ceasing. She is a beautiful woman of God and I am blessed she is my neighbor!
Ashley recieved healing by a poem Isaiah had written and asked one of the girls in their band to put to music. He was going to sing it to Ashley at their next gig.
