All week I have been thinking about what I would write after I received my scan results. How I wasn't worried, but trusted God to give me the grace for what came today. I fully expected to receive a negative result, but knew if something was there, God would be there, BIG TIME.
After hearing the all clear from my doctor today, the last thing I expected was to look at my detailed scan report and see something "positive"...
To quote the report: "minimal physiological uptake in the endometrium".
My doctor said nothing about this, but when I saw it, I knew immediately - I'm pregnant!!
I actually did a test the morning of my scan. But I either misread it or it was a false negative, because I did another one immediately and it was positive.
Sigh.
This was no where NEAR what I thought God would have to give me grace for. But I know without a doubt that He will.

Week of Hope
This is the week of Hope once again during the advent season. It was this week, four years ago, that The Lord first spoke to me about the promise of Hope.
A verse I am reading this morning reminds me to be patient. The Lord is in control and it is not my place to take things into my own hands.
The Lord is good to those who put their hope in Him. He is good to those who look to Him. It is good when people wait quietly for The Lord to save them. Lamentations 3:25-26
How appropriate that the verses are in a book called Lamentations!! Just as the chosen people were lamenting their situation, there are times I wonder what in the world is taking so long!!
Thankfully, The Lord has been gracious to show me, at times, the imperfection of my timing. I want to wait for God's perfect time! But, oh how hard that can be sometimes!
I see children waiting for homes and I just want to take care of all of them!! And I know and trust that one of them is ours.
Until God reveals her to us, I hope in Him, look to Him, and wait (mostly) quietly for Him. Because it is GOOD.

Read recently on Facebook:
Do not abandon the mercy-seat for any reason whatever. If it be a good thing that you have been asking for, and you are sure it is according to the divine will, if the vision tarry wait for it, pray, weep, entreat, wrestle, agonise till you get that which you are praying for. -Charles Spurgeon
There are times I struggle and grow impatient. I want to give up. These words encourage me: God isn't giving up. There is a reason that I/we must wait.
There are days I feel exhausted from the struggle to hold on. From the literal wrestling I do in the spiritual realm with God over what I know to be true and good. To cling to the promise of God for Hope.
And in the end, it will be worth the praying, weeping, entreating, wrestling and agonizing. For I have done, and continue to do, all of those.

In the Fullness of Time
It was during this time two years ago that God first spoke to me specifically about Hope.
Two years.
There are times I am thinking about her and all I can pray is, "Where is she, God?" I see a need for her in each and all of our lives.
And yet, it isn't time yet. For her or for us. We will be together in "the fullness of time."
God has promised, and He is faithful.

Thought for the Day
I received a devotional book last week at my first treatment and left it in my "chemo bag", the bag I bring with me to treatments that has my Snuggie and neck pillow in it.
I ahve been sitting here at my second treatment thinking about Hope. Wondering what to do next.
I pulled out they book and there were the words of encouragement I needed:
You are my beloved child. I chose you before the foundation of the world, to walk with me along paths designated uniquely for you. Concentrate on keeping in step with Me, instead of trying to anticipate My plans for you. If you trust that my plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, you can relax and enjoy the present moment.
Your hope and your future are rooted in heaven, where eternal ecstasy awaits you. Nothing can rob you of your inheritance of unimaginable riches and well-being. Sometimes I grant you glimpses of your glorious future, to encourage you and spur you on. But your main focus should be staying close to Me. I set the pace in keeping with your needs and My purposes.
Ephesians 1:4; Proverbs 16:9; Jeremiah 29:11; Ephesians 1:13-14
The last sentence really sums it up for me. All in God's time.

Beautiful in its time
We watched "The Blind Side" tonight and I was on the verge of tears throughout. I have wanted to see the movie ever since listening to Sandra Bullock's acceptance speech for Best Actress at the Oscars.
The thing that got me was when she said that she "would like to thank what this film is about for me which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from".
I want to be one of those mommas!
Watching the movie tonight, it felt like I was watching me. There is somebody out there I am longing to love. It just isn't time yet. And when it is time, God will make it happen. And despite my fears, it will be beautiful. No just for me or for the child alone, but for our entire family.
He has made every thing beautiful in his time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
