There is so much joy to be had in the waiting, but this week was just a rough one. However, I feel a new leaf being turned, and tomorrow is a fresh start.
So many thoughts run through my head and my heart, but I need to stay focused on the goal.
From day 1 of considering parenthood, my prayer has been, "God, I don't want anything to do with this unless YOU are all over it."
He is all over this. I will stop trying to CONTROL it all!
(and stop complaining)
I needed to be reminded of that today.
P.S. Herb, you are the best. Thanks for always having my back.
Michelle! I'm just catching on your blog. Waiting is never fun. I remember those feelings of hope, desire, and waiting when I was was waiting to get married. Between Mackenzie and Hudson, I had two miscarriages. I understand the longing to get pregnant. There was one verse, however, to which I clung -Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Also if you look at Romans 12:12- "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." If you look at the Romans verse patience is a discipline in affliction, faithfulness is a discipline in prayer. What we often neglect is that joyfulness is a discipline in hope!!!
