Satisfaction

Its good to be satisfied. In all the extremes of life, satisfaction can be that even keel attitude and, or position.

I am satisfied now. I am not satisfied because things are easy. Rather, things are very difficult right now. I...we, my wife and I are satisfied and content right now.

We approach our current circumstances with confidence and hope and faith. We do have the occasional 'life sucks' moments but we are satisfied.

God is good. There is no denying that. Accepting that idea and purpose that God is good does satisfy.

We are satisfied in knowing that God is taking us places we would not chose or want, per say, but we are satisfied that we are in his Kingdom and his kingdom is in us. We are active participants in this life he has given us. We pursue him now and forever, may we never relent this endeavor.

This Friday, MaryAnn goes in for a lumbar puncture. This is the second test of many more to confirm what her doctor believes to be Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Her doctor wants to look for indicators of MS and to measure the amount of pressure that her spinal fluid may be exerting on her spinal column and brain. This may explain the many nagging headaches she suffers from.

Two weeks ago, an MRI showed two long-standing lesions on her brain. According to the neurologist, this is indicative of MS. The interesting thing about MS is that there is no 'one' test that says for sure that you have it. Rather, it is time spent ruling out other issues that might be causing her many symptoms.

This has been a fairly big ordeal. And I am quite proud of my wife in the way she has been handling it. She satisfies me in so many ways.
