This has been home for us this week. I have to say that the Cleveland Clinic foundation is breathtakingly beautiful. When you pull up to the front drive it nearly takes your breath away. I always thought that Cincinnati Children’s was a magical place… I had not KNOWN what it is to be in awe until I pulled up to Cleveland Clinic, parked, went through the UNDERGROUND TUNNEL system, up the escalators and into the space aged, beautiful glass and open concept building M (Main). Troy and I wondered through as if we had just been dropped onto a different planet. I really have NEVER seen anything so architecturally beautiful. I am a huge fan of the historic architecture but this is what I would expect our civilization to look like long after I am gone. (yes… I was smitten!)
It has been a very BLESSED and assuring time. I know, more than ANYTHING that my Heavenly Father has been with Troy and I this week as we embarked on this journey. While the results of our days at the Cleveland Clinic are sobering, and my heart is a bit heavy, I am NOT shaken or scared. I forget who it was who used to say “If He leads you TO it, He’ll lead you THROUGH it” but it’s so true. When we headed out on Monday for my appointment at the Spine Center at the Cleveland Clinic, I felt impressed (read: led by the Holy Spirit) that I needed to pack Troy and myself for 3 days. Not so amazingly, that is EXACTLY how long our stay was extended. Although the week was quite tiring and hectic I know that every single piece of this puzzle is falling being placed together perfectly.
I will go into the whole exhausting week’s events (and let me tell ya… there are some DOOSIES…) tomorrow because tonight I am just glad to be home, with my kids (man I missed them …) and my hubby getting ready to sit down to Grey’s Anatomy and some other TIVO’ed shows. (I mean REALLY Cleveland… is the Brown’s game THAT important that you should interrupt HOUSE???… I think not!) Thank you THANK YOU to everyone who is praying and keeping us encouraged! It means the world to us!
Keep the prayers coming because this week is just the beginning of my journey into becoming a “Zipperhead”

Praying for you still. Rest in Him, knowing that He knew all along what you needed.
Amber, I’m so glad that your trip was blessed if not exactly happy. I’ve been thinking about you. I’m praying the decisions come together in a peaceful fashion.
