The real Lori has returned

I finally feel like myself for the first time in weeks. I must say again I'm so thankful this particular medical issue was temporary. The medications were definitely worse than the infection itself. I'm looking forward to a normal week. Hobby night tonight. Gym Tuesday and Thursday, small group on Wednesday. Date night on Friday. I'm looking forward to just being active and alert. It truly is a blessing to come home, make Billy dinner. Wait for his quiet time while I finish preparing and while he cleans up, have some quiet time myself. I thank God for the great team mate He has provided.

The clinic called us back today in response to the 36 page fax I sent this morning with all the required information. They were very kind and sincere. A tad nervous about this step. We have prayed about how far we would go. We trust God to guide us through this if this is the way to go. I get conflicted, as I do with most things at some point or another in any decision I make. I question, Billy researches.We just want to do the right thing. Not to reject medicine, but not to limit God or take His power and control out of this at all.

What do we make of the promises in the bible? They are for us all. What about the people that do adopt, does that mean being fruitful and multiplying still applies for these people? Christians who serve and love the Lord and are still afflicted with long term diseases. "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future." has very much been our prayer since the beginning of this. Thank you Kristen... definitely food for thought. Billy and I remind each other it's up to God to grow our family. If it's His will, it will happen. Either way, we are content, we are blessed.
