It has been a few days since my last update. That is mainly because I had no new news to share, and honestly, needed the time. As you know my doctor was concerned that my surgery from last April could be an issue in proceeding with the embryo adoption. This was initially a heartbreaking set back, however, the Lord has used it for His good. I finally had to come to the point of surrendering my own agenda. My own will to birth a child. In His grace and mercy...He has allowed me to truly be excited, content about whatever direction this journey takes towards parenthood. I needed to get there...I needed to go through the loss of dream, and I needed to surrender my will. I want to thank all of you for being a part of that road. Learning to put my trust in the One who is Trustworthy is essential; not always easy.
As you know from my previous posts...there has not been a lot of good news on this journey recently. However, today is different. I had my doctors appointment today, and we were BOTH shocked. The results were good...beyond good...GREAT! Exactly what he wanted to see!! Tears of JOY! I looked at him and said "I was not expecting that.", and he said "I wasn't either". Wow! I loved being totally surprised by God! Then, the new Garth Brooks song "Mom" was playing on the way home...(more tears of joy).
There is still a long road to go, and I am sure there will be plenty of more ups and downs...but what this means is that we can continue with the embryo adoption at this time!! Now we continue to ask for prayer for a good match, and also a healthy pregnancy. Please continue to join us in prayer as we continue the journey!

Woohoo! I love how God shows up and blesses the willingness to surrender :)
