Uncharted Territory

That seems to be all of our lives.  The more I talk to people, I realize at one point or another, we wish we knew what God was showing us.  If only we knew what tomorrow, next month or next year will bring. We think that would help us. 
Today Brooke went to her 6 month appointment with transplant doctor.  They wanted us to do another varivax vaccine (6 weeks ago :)  I had to think about it (hence it wasn't done yet :) This is her third one.  Is it really going to work this time?  Is, third time a charm?  I am a believer of vaccines, but if the child's body does not want to make antibodies in response to the vaccine, what am I suppose to do about it?  So we decided this is our last attempt.  I asked the MD if she does not respond to this vaccine, is it worth trying to give her the MMR?  He said, "Brooke is uncharted territory, I'll have to consult with other physicians." 
I liked that comment.   "Uncharted territory."  There is no textbook to describe her or tell anyone what to do next.  Isn't that all of our lives? 
God has a plan and His plan is best.  We just have to take a deep breath and say, "show me your way today, Dear Lord."   It brings such peace.  There are so many people that I pray for this week that find that peace as they follow their uncharted territory. 


A few fun pics :)       We got a new cousin/niece!  The excitement is AMAZING!!!  I've had to keep the ladies at bay from holding her all day if they could.  Welcome Gabby!
