and wet is a great way to describe my community today.  We have had lots of rain and we have 100% chance of rain throughout the night.  Hmmmm.... I don't think that I'll be staying up to check.:)  At least, I hope not!:)  It feels appropriate for rain right now in our life.

My dh went to the doctor yesterday and he told him that he will need at least 2, but most likely 4 more weeks to heal. :( We were soooo surprised!!  We thought that he might say 1 or maybe 2 more at the most. *( He has already been home for 4 weeks.)  My dh also has MS which has totally flared up right now.  He is seeing double and his balance and depth perception are WAY OFF!!  We thought that a broken foot was a challenge, but this is much more challenging!!  I am challenged most  by my dh's discouragement.  He is usually soooo positive and right now he's not.:(  We know that he will get better and that his vision will return to normal, just as his foot will continue to heal.  But the waiting is the hard part!  God is faithful and He is with us.  We are trying to "get" the lessons that He is trying to teach us right now in the midst of our adventure.  We want to be teachable.  We are trusting God.  On "rainy" days like this I am clinging to the fact that: The joy of the Lord is my strength!(Neh 8:10)  Not the joy (or lack of it) of my circumstances,  my feelings, my family, my friends or anything else! Just the Lord!  He is my strength!!  I am soooooo glad that I have HIM!:)  Yeah!!!!

  Please keep us in your prayers. Also, please pray that his employers will be understanding and that they will be able to get the things done  that they need to do!! I pray that their time will be multiplied greatly!

The positive side of this adventure is that we are getting to spend lots of time praying, schooling, playing, eating and fellowshiping together.  We have begun to watch some Christmas movies and may even try to do some holiday baking.  :):):)

God bless!:)
