Anticipation

What a week of anticipation... this week is like any other week, but there seems to be so many things we are waiting for that we could possibly get answers on this week.
Gunnar had testing this Saturday with a local police department, he did a great job, they are scoring the test now and will let him know by Wednesday if he gets to interview on the 1st.  He will also find out with his job offer will be from the company he interviewed with last week by Tuesday... Then he gets to interview with another department on Friday...  Which ever one is the one that God has chosen for us we are willing, it is just the anticipation of knowing God's will!

Along side of that I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday.  I have struggled with chronic urinary urgency for almost three years now.  This was a random illness that has been driving me crazy.  I have gone to every doctor I can think of, OB GYN, Naturopath, emotional counselor, general practitioner, specialist... you name it.  And no one can figure out what is causing my symptoms... so so frustrating.  I know that I have one or two ovarian cyst, I have had ultra sounds monitoring them, so my thought is that they are causing my symptoms.  I have wanted to get these cysts removed for a while, but I have not had insurance.  I got notice come the first of the year that my insurance WILL cover it now... so it has taken me this long to schedule appointments.  Now I just get to see if the Dr. will say this is a needed surgery.  Either way - this appointment means a lot to me and my life right now, there is only a few other things I want right now other than to feel healthy again! 

On another note, my Mother and Father in law have been living with us for the past month or two while they were in between houses, and they are moving this week.  Such a bitter sweet.  I love seeing my daughter play and have so much fun with her family, and this was such a short time it is hard to believe it is already over... we did not play enough cards for this time to be over already.

There are a few other events happening this week as well that are important to us, but I'll spare you the details!

Ok, here is just me thinking out loud.  I wonder if Jesus new how he was going to die.  We know He had a conversation with His Father, when God told him he would be sacrificed, and we know He wasn't happy about it.  But then He had to continue His course... in anticipation He waited for His death, the death that would save the whole world.  Ok, know I know my anticipation has nothing on His but maybe I can learn to wait by the way He waited... joyful and loving... full of life and hope.

Cheers - have a great week!  I am sure we will!!
