You have reached the end of your medication :-)

Yeaaaaa, took the last one tonight. The bad one was done yesterday, still had a bit of residual left over today from that one. But...I got through church, which I haven't done in weeks. I REALLY miss the encouragement and support of praising God with fellow believers. I am like the children of Israel and my memory is very short. I need the weakly reminder of God's love, grace and wisdom. I also need to know I'm not the only one trying to live a life for Jesus.

Billy and I went to a different church this morning. It's been a decision we've been praying about for quite some time, even before we knew our pulpit minister was leaving. We went to Greeneville Oaks and saw an old friend and his beautiful wife and daughter. Saw some old Prestoncresters too. We enjoyed this morning so much and were so encouraged to only have to drive the 5 rather than the 30 minutes that we picked up the small group information. We also also praying with a smaller church that our offers of help will be accepted and we can feel a part of a class again. We've really struggled with that since being married. We LOVED the singles group and I really was filled being an active part and helping give to a ministry. While I'm dialing the contact information for the small group geared towards us at Greenville Oaks I told Billy it feels like we are cheating on Prestoncrest. The wonderful thing is this small group meets on Sunday night and our existing one meets on Wednesdays. It's at the pulpit ministers house this month 3 blocks from us. We are hoping our existing small group will be okay with the dual attendance and still allow us to meet with them. We really enjoy their friendship, prayers, and encouragement so much. The Johnston's, Bagley's and Tipton's have been there for us since the beginning of the infertility issue and we are really counting on their continued support as people who know and accept us on a deeper level.

After church I layed down for a while and then felt up to using a bit of grey matter, so Billy and I went through our checklist and 19 page introduction packet for the Infertility Specialists, feeling ready to send that off tomorrow. Very anxious nervous feeling taking these steps forward. Definitely leaning on God to guide us in the way that will glorify Him and continue to seek His will in this as well as the other changes going on in our lives.

Well, I just came online to look for a good gluten free cake recipe to make for Wednesday night... later :-)
