Joy

I just wanted to post a quick post praising God for giving us joy in the midst of this wait! The wait for our little baby girl is painful. It's so so so hard. The process is seriously tough and I've yet to see the glimmer at the end of the tunnel. But I have been praying that God give us joy in this wait and have also been praying that he give me a perspective that allows me to be in the NOW with the family that I have now. Because NOW won't ever be given back and I don't want to waste these precious months stressing and wishing them away. So I continue to pray hard for this distant babe of mine. Like, hard hard hard. My floors are extra sticky lately because naptime is now prayer time and not mopping time these days! And bedtime is prayer time and car time and, well you get the idea. And I cry. Everyday. Usually in my time with God, but sometimes in the middle of the grocery store. But I'm trying to only pray and not stress. Always a work in progress. Enjoy a snapshot of the joyful, blessed life our amazing God is allowing us to live. I am thankful for a fresh perspective in such a trying time!
