I was given a wall plaque this year for the holiday season- it said… “Wise men still seek Him.” Sometimes when things get tough or harder than we may have anticipated in life, it’s easy to let blame and resentment fill our days. Turning away from the Lord because we don’t feel heard or forgotten, I know I have had to fight these feelings at times throughout the year only to find that it was lonely there and much harder than it needed to be. What my soul truly yearned for and has always known was to “Seek Him.” When I truly seek Him, that’s when the day is brighter, I feel less lonely and Wonderful Peace comes from the one who knows and loves me best, who knows my heart, hopes, and dreams. I wish for Christmas to you all, the Peace and Joy that comes from seeking Him. “WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM.”

Jess is doing well and continues to amaze and inspire us all. She is still progressing. She isn’t quite walking on her own yet, although her trunk strength has greatly improved. She continues to work hard at therapy, which is alot of fine tuning. She is also back in the pool once a week. She doesn’t really like it, but is still cooperative.

Jess has weight and strength training at the Gym 3 times a week. She has trainers David and Naomi Mayne, they are so good to work with Jess and are blessings in our lives. Their expertize and friendships are invalvable and we thank them. They can’t possibly know what they mean to us. Jessica is strong and healthy. We both are learning about good nutrition and it’s positive effects on the brain and how it makes us feel.

Jess is so funny and hasn’t lost her sense of humor, she’s a crack up to be around. She enjoys her job and the children that adore her and go out of their way to say Hi. She is especially excited for the holiday season with all the shopping and gift giving.

Well till next month- Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.

Always dedicated to Jessica’s recovery.

-The Krehbiel Family

Hi Jessica,
I just wanted to say I am so glad that I saw you that day at Cal Ranch. You look so good. You seem to be doing great. I have been reading all of these progress message’s and I am amazed at how well you are doing. I wish that we would have talked more through high school. I have wanted to post a comment for a while now just to say hi and to tell you that I am glad you are doing better!
