The last few months here on the Ponderosa have been tumultuous, to say the least.
"Mr. Cartwright" continues to deal with his heart going into Atrial Fibrillation very frequently. The good news is he has medication to take when his heart rate gets too high and he is learning how to navigate through each episode. If he can keep calm, that's half the battle. We know it will pass within a few hours. We will go back to see the doctor in a couple of months.
On another note, look at this boy-man of mine! Can you see the smile? The contentment?
After my visit last month he has done a 180 degree attitude change. I know his heart is happy, for mine is. We were able to talk through so much when I saw him. I can't help but think, "He knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that we love him no matter what he has done or said. He knows we forgive him." Our telephone call yesterday was so positive. I asked him about his walk with the Lord. He responded with, "It's great!" Something I have not heard before. Will the journey stay here on the top of this mountain? Oh, I'm sure not, but I am so thankful for these baby steps he is making. There is a maturity I hear in his voice and words. Things like, "I'm learning patience and how to be a leader."
See his arm? This is a result of God's perfect plan for my "Hoss". The bull he and I will never forget.
Do you remember this ? And, may I ask you to send me one, if you haven't for I have started this project and I know that God is working. In Him. And me.

Heb.6: 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Yes, I can see joy and contentment on his face--oh, glorious day--I rejoice with you!
I am smiling from here! God is hard at work!
Praise God for the changes taking place in "Hoss's" heart!! God has such a beautiful way of dealing with us one step at a time. From the look on Hoss's face, his steps are leading in the right direction! Reminds me of Hinds' Feet on High Places - one step at a time.
Keeping David in my prayers always. Love to you and all of your precious family Sarah.
