Waiting well..............

    Well I bit the bullet and sent Cody's application to the NIH. Praying now that he will fit into a genome study. I know that we still might not find a definitive answer however its a new avenue to pursue.

    Next week we will start a new semester... ready to leave this last semester full of pain behind and start a new fresh semester.  Rachel left 
on Sunday to start her new semester at Eastern University. Hannah, Lucas and I are just keep plugging away.

    I was reminded this week of a quote by Elizabeth Elliot, "Waiting on God
requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it 
intrudes upon one's thoughts." I long to wait well and not grow weary but, waiting well is a challenge. How does one wait well?...when things don't make sense? Trust.  Reminding ourselves of God's past faithfulness and remembering that He never changes builds our trust.

   He is faithful even when I am faithless.  Just last week Luke started OT
again and I had just about given up hope... just two sessions and we are beginning to see improvement.  I'm very grateful because his vestibular 
issues had become overwhelming were causing my head to spin.

  So what have I learned this month?  Waiting and trusting is a process
that although difficult is rewarding.  And it's worth it to trust my unknown
future to a known God.
