Good news, bad news

Michele is feeling much better right now. In fact, she has been feeling well enough that I have been able to be in the office the whole week for the first time in quite a while. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we are not sure yet about what is causing her condition. Also, we continue to be pretty discouraged about other things in our life right now. Specifically, we would like to leave this area to move back to Illinois to be closer to our families. We have been asking for God’s guidance and direction. He recently made it clear that we will be here for at least a while longer than we had thought (and hoped). Rather than being able to leave an unhealthy and negative environment behind us, we continue to have to cast our cares upon Him in order to make it through each day. Maybe that’s the main lesson for us in these difficult situations: to learn that He is in control, always, and that His will is best.
