Prayer Request

Hi Everyone,

Today Drew and I went to our first ultrasound appointment. The results were pretty confusing and not at all what we were expecting. There is a baby in my uterus and something else (possibly an ectopic pregnancy or a cyst) on my ovary. I go for more blood work Saturday and another ultrasound on Monday.

The midwife threw out a lot of worse case scenarios but everything should be okay. We know more Monday.

Just wanted to see if everyone could keep me, my family and this new baby in their prayers.

Thanks.

Love you guys,

Phil found this one for me at the Abbey. The few times I've read it, it's really helped me.

My Lord God,

I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that, if I do this, You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust You always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton
