Unconditional Praise
What started out as 12 days of waiting on God has dwindled to 18 hours (give or take a couple). I, of course, can think of little else. I am hoping and dreaming and praying that tomorrow will bring a happy phone call and dancing around like fools in the kitchen shouting what an amazing God we have. I know He is just as amazing if we are disappointed tomorrow but I am fearful that if that were to be how it turns out, I will let God down with my sadness and broken heart. I will praise Him either way but in particular want my response to be pleasing to Him if we are not pregnant. Because praising God when He gives you what you want is easy.......unconditional praise is difficult. Sadly, I think that maybe this is the first time in my decades as a Christian that I have been very mindful of this. I'm afraid that I haven't been much for praising God through disappointment in the past. I would praise God for the blessing and, when disappointed, I would just be disappointed and then move on. Talk about missed opportunity! I am still steadfastly believing in answered prayers and God fulfilling the desires of our hearts, but if this is not His timing for us to be pregnant, I will make sure that I will not let this opportunity for praising our amazing God pass me by.
Praying that I will not forget that God being good all the time means ALL the time.

Your wisdom overwhelmes me. I think you are pleasing to God just by realization. Take comfort in the fact that Jesus was a man and he knew great sorrow - he cried and hurt just like we do, but he knew what you know - God is good and worth of praise even in the deepest disappointment and hurt. Let's pray that the praises will be the "jumping in the kitchen" kind!
Love you,
