MWW- The Wait

Those of you who have been tracking with me for a while know that I'm in a stage of my life that's characterized by waiting. Those close to me may also know that I am a type a planner, so me and waiting don't go together too well. My whole life I've never really waited long for anything I wanted. I wouldn't necessarily say that I was a spoiled child, but growing up in an upper middle class family in the USA hardly means that your left wanting for anything that you truly need (needs vs. wants is a totally different subject!). I can think of maybe only two times that what I wanted didn't actually happen- not making the basketball cheer leading squad (haha, I can't believe I actually tried out with ZERO cheer leading experience, no surprise that I didn't make it!) and when my high school sweetheart broke my heart....looking back, I am so thankful for both of those events turning out like they did.

 Now I find my self in a 9 month wait... Ya it is kinda strange that if what I had pictured as the perfect time to add to our family was God's plan, then our family would be adding a new member next month.

What's getting me through the day.... 

 I'm also currently in the dreaded "two week" wait... The time between ovulation and menstration. I hate this wait, it messes with my content heart. I get anxious and uneasy during this wait. Thoughts of doubt and hope flooding my mind constantly. I have learned after 9 months though how to get through- the key to keeping peaceful during this wait is to dwell on the truth that I know in Christ. He has got it under control, that's all I need to know! I'm not going to let Satan steal my joy, peace and contentment away by placing doubt, fear and self reliance in my heart.

My fertility brain! What did people do without the iPhone?

I am so excited to get out of town next week and relax with Mike and Maddie at my parents house. It will be a much needed reprieve from our busy life with people that fill me up and spur me on. Ugh, so ready to spend some quality time with them!


Are you waiting for something? I hope that you know that God is right there with you in the wait and He wants to teach you more about Himself, His love for you and yourself through this wait.... Will you let him?

Love y'all,
