Mimi Almighty

It's amazing the audacity I have sometimes. I think I can explain to God why what I want is the right thing for Him to do. I know better, but I catch myself doing it anyway.

We seem to have hit a plateau. It's normal and it's not forever, but we were making rapid progress for so long. Now we're in a holding pattern, waiting for the babies to get more excited about eating on their own. That's the last thing they need so they can be released, and there's no way to force it, no way to hurry it up. AUGHH!! So we are forced to be patient and keep encouraging them.

I say we, but I'm at school and Chele is carrying the load by herself. Grandma keeps Konner while Chele is in with the babies, but it's up to Chele to feed babies, bathe babies, etc., and having to split her time between them and Konner is challenging. Knowing that I'm no help makes me even more impatient!

Anyone questioning where Chele gets her control freak tendencies?

So, tonight's prayer request -- I've been told all my life not to ask for patience -- is to stay content and productive while waiting on God's timing to get the babies home. Chele needs to be mentally and physically prepared for the challenges ahead, at the hospital and at home. And I need to remember that I don't have all the answers, and that I don't have the wisdom to be able to tell God what He needs to do.

And one more thing . . . Chele and Konner will go home on Thursday afternoon to take care of some things, then make their way back to the hospital on Friday. Please pray for traveling mercies and for everything to go smoothly.
