Here's the update on my eyes: I went to the doctor yesterday and he did a different test. He put this yellow goop in my eyes I guess to dilate my pupils or whatever. He told me that my pressure was lower, which is good. He said that if I'm going to get glaucoma, I'm going to get it--I can't prevent it. And you can't take medication until you know for sure you have it. So he told me that I have to get retested within the next six months to make sure everything's still okay. If my pressure goes up again, I won't be able to tell, as there are no symptoms of it. Jonathan and I are very relieved that everything is fine for now. Thanks to everyone who so diligently prayed for this appointment. It is so comforting to know that we have such wonderful prayer warriors lifting us up.
We'd like to ask for your prayers for a concern that's come up. I went to the eye doctor last week and he had some concern about the level of pressure in my eyes being too high. He asked me to come back today to retest it, which I did. He is still concerned and so I have to go back for a third test Thursday afternoon. He wants to do some other tests on Thursday, too. It looks like there's a good chance I may have glaucoma, which is a serious eye condition that can cause blindness. There is no cure for it and any damage that is already done to the optic nerve cannot be undone. It is a lifelong condition that is treated with medication or surgery. Needless to say, I am very anxious about the results of Thursday's tests. Jonathan and I appreciate all of your prayers during this time.
It's official--Jonathan is graduated and now smarter than ever. :) Graduation was wonderful on Saturday. Our families were here and the weather was beautiful--we couldn't have asked for a better time. We had a hectic weekend, as we had to travel to Michigan Sunday and come back Monday evening. My interview at Bethany was yesterday. The interview itself went well and they seemed really interested in me. The only problem is, I don't think I'm interested in them! The job is not at all what I thought it was and they told me straight up how stressful it will be. Plus, they asked for at least a two year commitment, which I'm not willing to do. So, it looks like I won't be working there after all. Thanks for all of your prayers, though. God just made it clear very early on that this was not a job that I wanted. I've experienced a job that I don't enjoy and the last thing I want is another one like that. Just please keep praying that Jonathan can find something and that I will have the wisdom to know what to do. I can't decide if I should look for a part-time job in social work, or a job in a completely different field. I just don't know where He wants me and it's hard not to worry. Now that Jonathan is done with school, the only thing holding us back is selling our place! If we can just get that sold, we can move to Michigan and hopefully have an easier time of finding jobs. It's going to be a wild ride, that's for sure!
It's hard to believe that Jonathan graduates tomorrow. We are soooo excited and I know he's ready to be done. Thanks to all who have so faithfully prayed for Jonathan. All those papers, exams, and internships are finally done! Now we can look to forward to better things...like paying off those student loans. It doesn't get much better than that!
