Update..

Okay so if you follow my blog you know that we had our first appointment last Friday. I have put off blogging about it 1- because this appointment was about Brett and i want to be sensitive to his feelings and not share too much of his personal business ( with me it is different, i dont mind talking about all the "uncomfortable" sitiations with my own body) 2- This is the first time i have had to stop and sit and 3- things did not go as expected so i wanted to take the time to let it "simmer" so that i can find the right words.
With that said.... Friday morning we got up and ready to go. I was nervous and full of chatter trying to fill the drive there with less time of thinking of what might happen at this appointment. As we pulled into the parking lot Brett looked at me and said "Im kinna nervous". This really surprised me. All along i thought that this did not bother him at all and that i was the silly one being nervous over this appointment. So right then and there we turned off the car and i prayed for us aloud. Asking God to ease our nerves and that his will be done. And whatever that will may be to give us the knowledge and understanding that we will need. We went in and i told the nurse what we were there for. She told me to wait for a moment so we sat in the waiting room looking through magazines. I took that time to look Brett over. He didnt look nervous to me. Instead he looked strong and carefree. I then realized exactly how strong my husband is for me. How even though he may be torn up inside he puts me and my feeling first. The nurse came back saying she couldnt find anything for us and to wait longer. I kinna laughed and said to myself we are pros at waiting. After waiting for around 20 min. the nurse returned with a brown paper bag and said "Go to the 6th floor" In the elevator i imagined the doors opening to a waiting room with a desk in the center. Not the case , instead it opened to hallways going every which way and names with arrows on the wall and here i stand with just a paper bag, a nervous husband, and no directions besides the vage 6th floor statement from the nurse. Its kind of funny though. You know its much like our relationship with the Lord we have different roads that we can take but if we do not seek the Lord we are likely to choose the wrong path ( or hallway in our case) So i prayed for the Lord to lead me and low and behold i chose a hall walked down past a few doors and told Brett maybe its this one pointing to a blank door that only said "Lab" on it. Brett asked me how i knew and i just said i dont know. And sure enough it was right where we were suppose to be.

Now the next portion im not going to go into to much detail. When we got into the office the nurse gave us paperwork and showed us to a room. It was very uncomfortable and just felt wierd to be there. I was filling out paperwork and Brett was reading over some other paperwork. ( Not exactly what we were suppose to be doing ;) I hear a sigh of relief come from Brett as he tells me that in the instruction paperwork he is reading there is a reason that he could not give his sample that day. I instantly am filled with stress and feel like another bump in the road. Thinking why is he relieved about this!? This is just another set back. I went out and told the nurse and she sent us home with instructions on what to do at home and for me to bring his sample in within an hour on the day she gave us. In the car im complaining wanting to cry and Brett tells me that he would not have been able to give a sample anyway due to being so nervous and uncomfortable. I stopped right then and there and realized that God had provied Brett with a way outta there! He made it to where Brett could do something like this in the comfort of our own home. I had to thank God for providing this avenue for Brett  and apologize for doubting his plan. God is so good and sufficent! He proviedes us with what we need not what we (or i) think we need.


It is awesome how present God is in our lives. Now i dont expect every prayer to be instantly answered but on a day like that day God knew we needed him most. He instantly answered my prayers that day and gave me the knowledge and understanding i needed to recognize it. If you truly seek God you will see his presence in your life. It is so easy to get caught up in emotions and not realize the wonderful works the Lord is doing all around you.

So even though we didnt go in and wham bam get answers ,we will eventually. I am completely at peace on that matter. I know that God will provide us answers. It just may take us a little longer to get them. So once again i am thankful that God has made me a pro in the waiting game. I will update you as soon as we get some results. Thanks for checking in on us.
