Moving on...

Hi,

I wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that I am doing well. I feel confident that God has a plan for me and I am just waiting on His timing. In the meantime, I am just going to focus on other things like getting back on track with Weight Watchers since I have about 15-20 more pounds to lose. ;-) Also, I am going to get certified for scuba diving since we are going to Aruba in January. So, I have some goals to accomplish and will focus my energy on that right now.
Thanks for your continued prayers...

In Him,
Lisa

Not Pregnant

I wanted to let you know that I received my results today and I am not pregnant. I am sad of course, but I know I will get through it. I was praying about the outcome Monday and asked God to prepare my heart if it was negative....which He did. I actually got the feeling that He brought me through this experience so that I would know that I tried everything I could before moving on to adoption...which is what I really felt led to do a couple of years ago. I feel that this confirms that the feeling I had was from God and I feel good about that. I know we can't begin that process yet (for financial reasons), but at least I still have hope that someday I WILL be a mommy. Thanks again for all your support and prayers.

Love you,
Lisa

Waiting

Well, today has been the longest wait for my blood test results. I thought this last week was difficult....today has been 100 times worse! You would think that they would know that women want to find out as soon as possible what the results are and that they would expedite the lab work. Nope....I'm still waiting. And I bet they will make me wait up until the deadline of 4pm when they have to call me. It gets pretty frustrating.

Anyways....just wanted to let you know that I am still waiting for the results....

Love
Lisa

Tomorrow is the big day

Hi,

Tomorrow morning I go in for my first beta (pregnancy test using bloodwork). I will find out in the afternoon sometime what the results are. Either I'll be pregnant or not...I'm ready for either outcome I think.

I have done a lot of praying this past week. I've had days that I felt like "This is it...it's going to work". I've also had days of doubt where I don't think it will work. Yesterday was one of those days. A friend of mine could feel that in her spirit and came over to talk to me and encourage me. During that time, God revealed something to me. I still don't know what the outcome will be, but I do know that whatever it is, I will know where He is leading me. I don't want to tell you what was revealed just yet because I haven't talked to my husband about it...and that wouldn't be fair to him. But, I will let you know tomorrow what the result is. Thanks again for all your prayers. This journey couldn't have been done so smoothly without them.

Love
Lisa
