Setbacks and Confusion

The last few days have been an emotional rollercoaster for me. I am in a state of confusion. We have been so excited to be close to leaving for Liberia. Things seemed to really be falling into place with a home being avaliable for us over there and sending the car.

However, Wednesday night on the way to church we got the results from an MRI Rusty's doctor had done. He told Rusty that they found one abnormality but didn't know what it was. So yesterday, through a series of events, we were told that it is a lesion on his brain. It could be a one time occurance or something more serious, possibly Multiple Sclerosis. From what Rusty has been experiencing over the last year it seems consistant with MS, but there are many forms it can take. We have been blessed to have God watching over us and Rusty is going to be able to see a specialist next Friday. It should have taken 3 or 4 weeks to get into see her. Thank you to everyone who were instrumental in making that happen.

We have put our travel plans on hold for now. This doesn't mean we wont be going, just that we don't know when. It's hard for me to know what to do next and how to plan for tomorrow. I know that we are not suppose to worry about what will happen tomorrow. I don't understand what God is doing but I know he is in control and that this will all work for his good purpose. I am just trying to cope with all the emotions swirling around and stay focused on living my life for the one that sacrificed his life for me.

Please keep us in your prayers.
