Well what to say my week has been extremly emotional. My Husband Josh is in the ICU has been since wed. afternoon. For the past 8 months he has been forced to make the den to have a double lung transplant. Well when he began the process he started at 16% lung capacity. Over the last few weeks has gotten much sicker and has Dropped to 12% and is in the ICU at Stanford. His body is not releasing the carbon dioxide and it has been poising his body and giving him terrible migraines. Well now he has made the choice to have the transplant and will probably be listed this up coming week. Having to deal with all of this I get a phone call at 2:30 this morning the my great grandpa who was a major influence in raising me passed away. That was really hard but I know he is with the Lord and doesnt have to suffer any longer and my Great grandma no longer has to care for him. I will miss him terribly.
The only way I am working through all of this is God, faith, Prayer, family, support, and trust that it is all part of his plan. Please pray for us.

Have Faith, God will pull you through.

I have learned that I have to just have complete faith in God and that no matter what his plan is, it is bigger than me . Because, boy I tell I sure don't always see or understand what is in his plan. This is where faith comes in, I can't imagine how I would pull this off without faith.
It's hard to make it through the day when the one you love is slowly dying and suffering daily. The days are long and the nights can be restless. I have to constanstly remind myself to enjoy this moment and thank God that you still have it no matter what it is.
I can't choose the outcome so I have to accept that. I cant heal him I have to accept that, I can't do it without God and I have to accept that. All easier said than done.

I Don't mean to complain but I'm just getting some stuff out and everyone asks me how I'm doing. I try to always give positive hopeful answers but deep inside its not so positive and is very hard to answer some of the questons with those positive answers but God walks me through it. Josh is faced with a very hard decsion and doesn't know what he's going to do.
I will support him in whatever that decsion may be but either way we have a long bumpy road to travel.It can be hard to move forward when life seems to be at a steady halt and reality slaps you in the face.
The other night Josh and I were talking about what is going and and we asked God to give us hope, and stronger faith, to take away our fears and give it all to him so that we can see what it is he wants us to do. God is faithful and if were are too we will receive his many blessing and be able to enjoy life every day in the moment and be thankful.

So, my new years resolution for this year and always is to live in the moment and enjoy it, always have faith, pray because God answers prayer, and love because it helps you to keep going when times are tough and hug someone when they are down because the feeling of a good hug is mutual.

A New Begginning

Ever Since I have accepted Jesus Christ into my heart it has opened my eyes to all the opportunities he has given my family. Now he is starting something new. Something so amazing I can't help but to give the glory to God.
My husband Joshua Mompean has(as most of you know) cystic fibrosis.He is facing a double lung transplant. We are doing everything we can to get his numbers better to either prolong the surgery or just to make him healthier for the surgery. We need all the prayer and support we can get and God will do the rest.

My husband & I have moved to San Juan Bautista, a small town near Monterey, CA.. The Luccketta family has welcomed us into their home with open arms, they are so awesome. Tracy, what a man of Christ, he works hard to take care of his family and makes us all laugh. His wife Michele has a lot of medical conditions and he stands behind her and takes great care of her.That is such a good role model for me to look up to. Michele, what a beautiful woman of Christ. She carries a lot of wisdom and loves to share it with everyone, a wonderful teacher to her family, great artist, and has an extraordinary way of putting things into perspective, and praises God for everything in her life. She is also an excellent role model. I am just in awe of their generosity I can not express into words how grateful I am for them.
