Less than 24 hours after I posted my last entry things are encouraging once again. My mom called this morning to say a sweet neighbor had given her the name of a pain mgmt Dr a friend from their church was seeing here in the Springs. So that's one lead. A couple of hours later our original pain mgmt Dr e-mailed to say he'd done some checking and it seems that the Dr we've been seeing in Denver is going to be working part-time here in the Springs as well. So now we have two options, and one is a Dr who's already familiar with Amy's situation. Talk about answered prayer! While our decision seems like an obvious one, we're going to take a little time to pray for God to lead us in the direction that's best for Amy. His will in this situation is the perfect plan, after all. It's hard to step back when the path seems so clear, but this is definitely a decision that needs to be bathed in prayer.
And speaking of prayer...I found another thought provoking quote this morning. "Is He teaching you? Are you trying to serve God without talking to Him? Are you forgetting that after we believe, He is with us always? How many of you can spend hours in someone's presence and not utter a word to him?" I love that! Sometimes I forget that my prayers don't have to be elaborate. He's perfectly happy with my one-liners, too. A fulfilling and effective prayer life doesn't have to be intimidating. It just has to be heartfelt and constant. And of course, my heart and mind have to be open to hear His leading. Good reminders.
