Jenna went from not knowing if her husband was alive, to him possibly having to loose his whole leg, to only having him loose the bottom part of his left leg. What an emotional and exhausting experience. You would think...she would be made at God for allowing this to happen to her husband, but Oh, no, Jenna's faith has strengthen 100 times over in the past six days. "The Lord is close to the broken hearted..." He has given Jenna strength that only comes from him. I have been so encouraged by her faith and trust in our amazing savior.
When I saw Doug on Friday at the hospital, he was telling jokes and asking about Charles Tucker. He was in amazing spirits! He knows the Lord is good and he has a plan for all of this. While Doug was pinned down by the fork cliff, he was explaining to the other workers how to get him out, while everyone else was screaming. The Lord gave Doug the wisdom and clarity while he was in excruciating pain. Truly Amazing!! "When you slap a Christian, it just makes them stronger!" words by Richard Pittman at prayer the other night.
Thankfully our church is rallying around and supporting them through this hard time. If you are interested in being involved in helping the Teacheys in the days to come or want to know how to pray for them, go to Caring Bridge. You might have to set up a Care Bridge account...Once you do, look for Doug Teachey and his profile should come up with all the details of his story.
Please pray for his wife, Jenna, that she will find comfort and strength in the Lord in the days to come. I am praying that the Lord would be glorified in Doug and Jenna's suffering and more would come to know his amazing grace.
inspiring story, thanks for sharing, very wise observations :)
