One Week Down...

...how many to go?  We're not sure. 

But that's ok.  We made it through the first week.

I am praying that this week was the hardest.  I'm in a constant state of exhaustion.  I'm tired of driving 30 minutes back and forth.  I miss my daughter.       

But that's ok.  We made it through the first week.

My husband has to try and make it through the workday without seeing his son.  He is up at night with our daughter because she's teething.

But that's ok.  We made it through the first week.

"I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.  But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time; O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness, answer me with Your saving truth."  Psalm 69:3,13 

I'm not going to lie, this is hard.  But the God I serve is an awesome God, and bigger than any medical complications, bigger than my exhaustion, bigger than anything that life throws at us.  And I trust in His plan for our son.  He knew that he would be born last week.  He knew that he would be in the NICU.  And He knows what the outcome will be.  What other complications will my son face? I don't know, but God does.  When will we finally be able to bring him home with us? I don't know, but God does.  So I will wait as he reveals His plan in His time. 

"I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord;  Be strong and let your heart take courage;  Yes, wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27:13-14
