Continuous Miracles

On December 16th, Bryan woke up with a blind spot in his far left peripheral vision, which progressively worsened in to nearly complete blindness in his left eye.  Bryan spent Christmas in the hospital awaiting test results.  The doctors and specialists have done every test in the book, everything from MS to bacterial infection and were not able to determine a cause. For a while, there was a very real scare that it would spread, and go to the other eye, causing him to go completely blind.  That was a very scary time for us. Gratefully, Heavenly Father is aware of us, and our heartaches and fears and desires, and He has blessed us.  Whatever it is that caused his blindness, it seems to have halted, and we now have been able to move on, without fearing the worst.  Bryan has adjusted to single-eye vision.  Though, it makes ping pong more difficult, and as a result, we will no longer be seeing 3D movies, it hasn't affected his golf swing nor his ability to read, and play video games.

My pregnancy continues to progress!  We are past the scary stage, of things going wrong.  For a while, I kept thinking something was going to go wrong, because it was too good to be true.  But, that doesn't seem to be the case.  I am getting closer and closer to the end, and I couldn't be more thrilled, nor relieved!  I will be 31 weeks this week.  I am ready for this little girl to make her arrival.

Bryan is continuing to go to job interviews.  He decided to quit his job at Wal-mart vision in March.  He felt it was time to stop the hassle of working on Sundays.  Hopefully, He will be blessed for his faith in doing what he felt was right, and get a job in the science field soon.  I guess, better wording would be, I know he will be blessed, it is just a matter of how long the Lord sees fit to test our faith.

This quote really touched me when I heard it at the beginning of the month, and I feel it rings true to what we face, in the best and worst of times.

"If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing. In all conditions, we can choose the right with the guidance of the Spirit. We have the gospel of Jesus Christ to shape and guide our lives if we choose it. And with prophets revealing to us our place in the plan of salvation, we can live with perfect hope and a feeling of peace. We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord’s service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and our right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word." (Henry B. Eyering, "Mountains to Climb" LDS General Conference, April 2012 )

I am grateful for my Heavenly Father, and His constant care over me and my family.  I know He hears our prayers, and blesses us, sending us miracles daily that we may not even see.  I can't wait to see how His continuous miracles tie into the next chapter of our lives
