bedrest and the lesson of patience

Hello, hello! I am posting this from the horizontal position - due to the fact that I have been put on bedrest . . . Oh Joy!!!! I've been told, per my doctor, that I am to stay off of my feet for possibly a week or two!!!!!!!! Yes, you read that right! But if I follow the doctor's orders then, Lord willing, I will be up and around very soon!!

I went to the doctor on friday and all is good with the baby - strong heartbeat and growing right on track! Yeah! Praise the Lord.

I know that God has a purpose for everything and I am thinking that He is trying to teach me a couple things - one being that I need to trust Him for all things! I need to learn to be patient and that it is ok to have others (mainly my husband and parents) do things for me.

All I can say is that God's lovingkindness is everlasting - He is in control of all of these details and I am so thankful for that!

If you think about us - please pray:

1. That this would stop and I would be able to resume normal activities
2. For my husband and parents - as we are staying with them so that my mom can help me with the girls
3. My girls that this would be a fun adventure for them and that they would be patient.
4. I would trust the Lord and not try to do this on my own as that will only complicate things.

Thanks - if you need me call me on my cell.
