In the Lord's time

Last time I wrote I thought I would be posting again within a few days that we had scheduled the fetal MRI. The Lord had a different timing in mind. During the month of January, our little family battled illness and several other stressors that kept us focused on simple daily survival tasks. I'll not go into detail here because when I listed all the stressful events in January I filled four pages in my journal. Needless to say our plate was full! Repeatedly, the Lord set before us opportunities to grumble or give thanks. It didn't take us long to choose thankfulness over grumpiness. I think it really does take more energy to be grumpy, and we learned to take true delight in simple things like food, shelter, and good friends. Today we are thankful that the fetal MRI is finally scheduled for TOMORROW, Thursday, February 11 at 8 a.m.! Please pray that the weather wouldn't prevent us from attending the appointment though we continue to trust the Lord's timing for this test. Please pray also that the MRI will give us wisdom to know the best place to deliver our precious little girl and the kind of care she will need after she's born. Our deepest gratitude for your prayers and concern for our family!
