Isaac did not get his upper GI today, but he should be getting it tomorrow. We'll also be getting the preliminary results of his biopsy. This is crucial. If he needs surgery, he will be set back several weeks. If he doesn't, he may start eating again tomorrow. I haven't thought about it much today but now that I have quiet time alone it's on my mind. No matter what, God has a plan for Isaac's life. I am here to love my son and raise him in a manner that he would love God. That's my job. Not to worry about tomorrow or 10 years from now. No matter how much I worry, it won't change anything, anyway. I trust that God knows what He's doing!

Ever use a dry erase marker on a mirror? It's so fun. I've started memorizing some verses again (I write the verse on the mirror so I see it everyday). I started with 1 Corinthians 10:13. I'm trying to choose verses that are helpful in areas I struggle with. My new one is Galatians 5:22&23 (one I should already know).

A couple came to visit us today. I think we figured they are about 4 people removed--they are parents of a girl who knows a girl who knows my best friend. Wow. They brought us some gifts that were very nice and very funny. They'd never met me yet figured out how to make me laugh--I love it! They have volunteered to watch Hannah one or two evenings a week so I can see Isaac. Here's the thing. They are EXACTLY what I've wanted. EXACTLY who God laid on my heart to wait for. A retired couple, whose grandkids live out of town (in Grand Rapids, no less) but yet want to be around kids (and who have the energy for an active toddler). Really, it's the little things that matter. I mean, this was a desire of my heart. I don't want to leave my little girl with just anyone. And God sent exactly what I wanted. Exactly. I'm so glad I didn't settle. I'm so glad I waited. I'm so glad I waited for God's timing and not my own. Thank you, Jesus, for the small blessings of life. Thank you for teaching me in the desert. I hope it carries over.
