So there is a saying about God's answers to prayer...
Sometimes He answers YES.
Sometimes He answers NO.
Sometimes He answers WAIT.
And sometimes He answers NOT NOW.
I am not sure what God is saying to us regarding Walter's health challenge.  Our prayer is to know what is going on with Walter's reaction to eating and for wisdom to know what to do about it!  It isn't really a YES or NO prayer.  The blood work results showed NO for diabetes or thyroid issues.  But apart from some trial and error with food, we don't know what is happening nor are we sure of how to treat or avoid reactions.
Fortunately, if Walter sticks to protein and vegetables, he feels pretty good. He has been low carb for over a year and found some success in weight loss and freedom from heartburn.  Now, he's wondering if he is having some reaction to gluten or sugars after cutting way back.
Walter says with this forced diet, he is destined to lose weight! 
My challenge is to cook for us both.  I like desserts.  Sometimes I feel hungry when we don't have bread or some form of carbohydrate in a meal!  But I am trying to support my husband by preparing meals and providing snacks that will comply with his needs.  Lord, help me be disciplined and creative! 
In the meantime, Walter is waiting for a call from an internal medicine specialist as referred by his family doctor.  We will carry on with life and travel and ministry.  This will just be another area that we know we need to rely on the Lord.  On Sunday we will be sharing about our ministry to the congregation at Balgonie Baptist Church.  Monday we drive up to Prince Albert for a few days of meetings and office work.  The Lord is our strength!
