Hope for Robert...

Where to start... There are so many things to write, to say, to tell and there isn't a starting point... I have never written a blog, let alone started one so this is all new to me. This chapter in my life is new to me but this blog is surely not about me.

This blog is to serve the purpose of updating my friends and family on the status and condition of one soldier, one fighter, one individual who is unconditionally loved by so many people. That person is my brother, Robert P. Robinson, Jr.

On Valentines day, my brother was a victim of a drive by shooting which left him with a gun shot wound to the head. The bullet entered on the right side of his head and exited on the left. He was rushed to the hospital where he was immediately treated.

My brother is continuing to fight everyday. Everyday he does something different showing us, his humongous support system, that he is going to pull through and make a full recovery.

I am committed to posting daily updates on his recovery. By tomorrow, readers will be able to see postings that will begin from the night before the shooting up until his progress today.

I ask all readers to continue to keep my brother in your prayers because without GOD... I don't even want to imagine what life or lack there of would be.

Thanks in advance for your prayers and your support. My family loves you and Robert is gracious for you being behind him 100%.

  3. I think starting a blog was a wonderful idea. Not just to update everyone on his condition, but to also be a place where everyone can share how they are there for him and his family. I know at times when I reach for the phone to call him or miss the way he would snore in my ear and drool on the side of my face after a midnight movie, I get a sense of emptiness. Being able to log on to the blog, you have a place where other people may leave encouraging words for you to continue to stay strong for him. So when we all have our moments we can come here and this blog can remind us to stay strong. This will also be another great addition to all the other things we started for him. When he's back in action, he can come here and see all the love. He can see all the people that were there to pray and support him.

  4. Hello All,
    As you pray for Roberts Healing, we ask that you pray the following scripture and confess a total and complete healing!!!!

    Mark 11:24 – Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

    Then Make the following confession

    CONFESSION: I believe Robert is healed. I don’t consider what It looks like, I dont consider the doctors report, I dont even consider my own feelings. I know you are a healing God and I will praise you in the midst of this trial, knowing this trial will be my testimony.

    Blessings

    Pastor Carter

  6. Just to begin this entry I would like to say that being a part of the Monroe's has been nothing but wonderful. Seeing the outpouring of love and well wishes for Rob has been incredible. This just to prove that he has in his 22 years touched so many lives. It only takes a few minutes of talking to him to realize what a strong-minded, caring person he is. We are blessed to know him. It is nice to have someplace to come and vent about our feelings and send out loving words of support. I want to give a shout out to the nurses and Dr.'s that have been working so hard to take care of our Rob. Robert when you read this I want you to know that my heart aches terribly to see you hurting and I will be there every moment you need me and some moments when you want me to go away. There is a long road ahead but you will not walk it alone. Love you!

  7. When my sister, Lisa, called and told me what had happened, I was unable to speak and my heart ached immediately. I said to her what so many others have said. Robert is strong, he is a fighter. He really does leave an impression of greatness on you when you meet him. My heart and soul are praying for you every moment. To the family, I wish I could be there to hug and support you. I feel so far away. I want you to know that my family and myself are praying for you every moment. We have gathered a few others here in Oklahoma to pray as well. If there is anything I can do I am here. God bless and We Love You ALL!

  9. Evelyn, this is Erica, Ashley's friend.....just wanted you to know that you all are in my prayers. Stay strong and steadfast in what you know to be true - that God is a faithful God, who would never foresake you or your family.

    I don't know Robert personally, but I know you....and that's all the confirmation I need to know that he's a great guy.

    Where 2 or more are in agreement, then it is so...before you know it, Robert will be walking out of the hospital.

    Love, Love

    Erica

  12. Cuzzo! As I look at the picture of Me, you, LaDonna and Evelyn, A smile instantly appears on my face. I reflect back to the days that we (Just you and I, because your sister evelyn was boy crazy by then and your sister LaDonna never really liked me as a child) used to play these crazy games. And How we made up games when we were bored. You are like the greatest video gamer to me...I use to rely on you to play all my crash banicoot games so that you could complete all the challenges. I will never forget all the times we shared. I thank you for being like a big brother to me. I just want you to know that I love you and that I am praying for your full recovery. I dont care what the doctors say, I know you will bounce back from this. The fact that you are here now, is a testament to the Power of God. Know that we all love you and we are all here for you....

    PS I cant wait to see you...
