Being real

In my community group this morning, I shared about my desire to be more transparent and genuine and in doing so it opened my eyes to needing to share how utterly frightened I am about Lucas’s upcoming sleep study.

Since becoming a mom, I have found that there is a real struggle with balancing being brave and admitting that it is okay to be frightened. It is my responsibility to demonstrate that certain things are okay to be scared about but then to teach my child to ask God for help. Even as I write this I am convicted about my need for God and his peace in every aspect of my life.

So to lay it all out on the table, I am frightened about this upcoming test. I am worried that it will reveal something awful or that it will reveal absolutely nothing. It is frustrating and difficult to be patient, waiting on the Lord to reveal in his timing what his will is.

The sleep study will be overnight in a facility in Houston on Wednesday, August 18th. Your prayers for Lucas, the staff, the doctors and for Scott and I would be so greatly appreciated.
