Hi!

I beat my record from last post! It's been less than two months!

Well, I had another MRI and the results are good. There is no change in the size of the tumor. This is good news, medically at least. As you know, I want it to go away completely and then I'll say it's good. But, I am going to agree with the doctor and be encouraged. 

As it's been from the beginning, if I'm going to have this problem, I want it to be worth something from an eternal perspective. I want to wring every ounce of meaning and purpose from it that I can. I haven't really figured out how this will happen, but that is my prayer request right now. I get tired faster than I can get out of bed many days, so I have to learn to work in small bursts.

We are closing on a house on Friday! Pray, please pray that it will go off without a problem. This is the third house we've tried to purchase and it's definitely the best of the three! There are so many little things about the house that we just love and that seem perfectly made for us. We are praising God for His infinite care for us. I had been praying that He would show us what we should do next and this house just popped up, and it had been on the market for almost a year!

The moving is going to be a huge undertaking and I am not sure how it's going to go. It's a source of some anxiety for me. I always shrink from things that will bring my husband and children stress. But, since this is a necessary stress, we are going to march up to the challenge and tackle it. Please pray for this, too.

I have decided that I am not going to be tired indefinitely! I am trying to stay awake longer every day and to take my vitamins without fail. It's been working well for the past two days. I've taken only one nap each day! We'll see how it goes.

We are going to be in NJ and NH in August! Email me and I'll send you details. I am trying to organize a service project to do while I'm there. I am so excited to see my friends and family!!!!

I'll blog again soon!

Joyfully,

Elyse
