Hello friends, I wanted to give a brief update about Grace’s status. Back in February, a resident in our condo complex complained about a “maintenance issue” that the previous owners had left unresolved. The resident also became aware of Grace’s disabilities, and began harassing her daily while I was at work. This behavior continued even though the “maintenance issue” was being addressed; Grace was so distressed and intimidated that she couldn’t adequately communicate to me the severity of the situation. Unfortunately, this meant that it lasted over a month before we addressed it decisively.
Although the resident has stopped their harmful behavior, their actions imprinted on Grace’s brain to the point that Grace is unable to function at her normal baseline. Grace’s TBI symptoms are still highly aggravated, and she’s undergoing professional treatment to help her return to daily life without being in a constant state of “fight or flight.” She misses you all, and looks forward to writing here again as soon as she feels better. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

This certainly seems senseless and without purpose, but we know you are trusting the God of all wisdom! He is the same faithful healer and provider who has brought Grace to such an amazing baseline so far. We will continue to pray that you and Grace clearly see His hand. They meant it for evil. . . but God meant it for good.

Okay -that makes me feel a little bit angry (okay, maybe a lot). We will pray for her to overcome this added difficulty and have her spirits lifted so she can function better than before. So sorry – some people are jerks!

It’s unfortunate that people can be unkind when they know of another’s weakness. I pray that Grace will recover and find peace in her heart and continue improving as you support her in practical ways. May the Lord put His hedge of protection around Grace and grant her security as she realizes how special she is to Jesus.
