God answered all kinds of prayers today, so I thought I would share!
1. I found a pediatrician for Cooper after a 6 month search - My mom got a recommendation from a fellow nurse at work who loves this doctor. We visited yesterday and I was so happy. Their office was clean, their receptionist was accomodating and friendly, and the doctor was great with Cooper. He took his time and I felt like he knew what he was talking about. This is huge for two reasons - first of all, Cooper tends to be quite sick with his asthma in the winter, allergies in the spring/fall and his allergic reaction to insect bites in the summer. We need a go-to-doctor who will be patient with all of our needs and have a kind bedside manner for little Coop. The second reason we are praising God that he provided a good doctor is because of Cooper's insurance. When he was adopted, we were granted the provision of state insurance for Cooper until he turns 18. But because we are on Medicaid insurance that is typically used by low-income people, most- no, I take that back - ALL the doctors in the city of The Woodlands don't take it. Hence the forever-long search... I am so thankful that we are feeling a little more settled every day!
2. I decided to join a small group at our church - and I love it! For those of you who know me well, you know that I am not big on change. In fact, I really really dread having to step outside of myself and make new friends. It's really tough for me! But I have been praying for quite some time that God would provide a community of believers to walk alongside me in friendship. I have been blessed with many incredible women in my life and I know how vital it is for me to have people surrounding me who point me to Jesus. So a new friend from church, Monica, invited me to try out their group on Tuesday nights. I went to a BBQ this weekend with the group and really felt at home. The groups is made up of 5 couples (plus me) Some of the girls attend the group without their husbands because of work schedules etc. so I didn't feel weird being the "single girl". There are also plenty of little kids running around, so I don't feel out of place having Cooper (plus there is child care at the church during our meeting!) Praise God! I am looking forward to cultivating new friendships and getting more involved at our church. The Woodlands is becoming more of my home every day!
Praide God for His goodness to Cooper and I!
