October 15, 2015 -- Return of the Seizures

Yikes!  That title kinda sounds like a horror movie, of which I am NOT a fan!  Ha ha!  But it'll make sense as you read on.  But to begin, thank you so much to the many who prayed for the neurologist appointment that Hope had at the end of August.  I was waiting to see what follow up would come of it, and will give you an update now on the appointment as well as her current neurological status. . .

September 16, 2015 -- Hope Proclaims

Finally a note from Hope in response to all your sweet birthday messages. . . 

Thank you very much for all the wonderful birthday responses!  I liked all your messages.  They were really nice!  Thank you also for praying for me!  God has done miracles in me and in my life, and He works wonders!  I'm thankful that I'm still alive and that He's still helping me move along the path to know Him more.  I love that God is an awesome God and full of power!  Many loves and thank you's from Hope Peacock!  Good bye!

September 1, 2015 -- We Have a Teenager!!!

Today marked both the first day of back to school for our girls, as well as the Peacocks have officially moved into the world of teens!  Our sweet Hope turned 13 years old today!  Wow!!!  Where does the time go?!?!  : )

June 30, 2015 -- Hello Braces!!!

Hope has braces!  As I continue to update you on the last few months for Hope, thought I would start with this fun one. . . well sorta. . . for the most part!  Hope started with an expander back in February, that we turned every day for one month opening her jaw wider.  It then stayed put for the next 2 months, until the end of April when Hope began her newest adventure. . . the next 2 years with braces!

June 10, 2015 -- Seizures and Unwell Bouts

Hello dear ones!  I have a prayer request to share with you before I send the post I'm working on with pictures. . . 

May 21, 2015 -- We're Back!!! : )

Forgive me for the long silence . . . I can't believe months have gone by since I last posted.  And so many of you have reached out to remind us that you still care. . . that you are still praying for our family. . . humbling to say the least. . . words seem far too small, but thank you, dear ones, for your faithful love and prayers!

March 13, 2015 -- Unexpected Lows

I am so sad and frustrated right now . . . I was almost finished a long post updating you on our family, our Hopey's recovery, and how God is faithful to continue His refining work in our hearts, and due to some strange computer glitch, I lost 90% of it today.  It was a post that I had been working on for an hour or two most nights for the last 10 days, and so I am not able to easily re-type it all out again, especially as I have family from out of town visiting for the next few days, and several major happenings in our church family as well.  So many precious people are inquiring on updates for Hope, and for how to be in prayer for us specifically, and so I am simply going to say that the last two months have been rather hard on our family as a whole.  We are exhausted with little sleep, have battled frequent illness, have ran a crazy non stop schedule, and a plethora of other issues that have left us feeling quite drained and depleted physically and emotionally, and battling discouragement at times.  But even through it all, we have seen God at work, providing the strength, the healing, the comfort, the grace upon grace, often despite our inadequacies and ungrateful hearts.  I'll be honest to say that I don't understand why the Lord would allow this computer glitch to erase what was a very heartfelt transparent share, but most importantly the biblical responses that we know He is teaching us. . . I have shed many tears of frustration and sadness this morning.  However, it seems that in yet another hard circumstance, God is at work . . . I must lean NOT on my own understanding and rather trust Him with ALL my heart, continuing to marinate in His Word while ACKNOWLEDGING Him in all things (including re-writing my message to you), as He continues to work in our hearts and DIRECT our paths in His good and perfect timing.  Proverbs 3:5-6  Thank you for your continued love and prayers, dear ones.  I look forward to walking with the Lord through re-writing and being able to share our struggles, our specific needs for prayer, and most importantly how God is at work in us, all to His glory!  We love you dear ones!!!

Trusting in His Sovereign hand in ALL things!

December 26, 2014 -- Merry Christmas from the Peacocks : )

It was three years ago from today that we sat in the Stollery Hospital in Edmonton in the PICU next to our sweet Hope, wondering if she was going to live. . .

November 20, 2014 -- Two and a Half Months Down. . . This is a Marathon Recovery!!!

Hello dear ones!  I'm so sorry for my long silence on Hope's blog. . . it's been a busy last month for us and finding time to stop and write a post has been unattainable for me.  But we're kinda getting back on track here, and so I would love to give you an update on our sweet girl and family happenings. . .

September 27, 2014 -- Hopeism

Even now as I begin to share this little story with you, I am starting to chuckle again. . . I don't know why I found this so funny, but it was the best belly laugh I've had in a really long time. . .
