And I would be lying if I said baby-makin' was going swell. Turns out the second time around has not been so easy! It sure doesn't help that the first go around it happened right away. Last Sunday at church I was humbly reminded that my plans are not my own. That God's plans are much higher than mine and how arrogant of me to think that I can try to plan the rest of my life without considering Him and what He has in store for me. I have not been thinking about what God desires or seeking Him in this matter. I've completely taken baby-making into my own hands. Nothing good can come out of my own selfish ambitions.
I love being in control and planning things to a T and I think God is teaching me a lesson here. A lesson to be more dependent on Him and less on myself. I'm not gonna lie...it sucks. I had all my ducks in a row and although it's only been two months I'm already frustrated! When I want something I want it yesterday and I know God does not work that way. I'm not sure what His plan is but I realize I need Him and I need to keep His will in mind. For all I know He could be post-poning this pregnancy so I don't go into early labor at my bff's wedding? Or because He needs to teach me something (most likely)? Or because Blair needs more time one-on-one with her Mama? I'm not sure. All I know is that He cares for me infinitely more than anyone else and has the most beautiful perfect plan for my life. All I have to do is have faith and obey. :/
Thanks for listening :) And PS the kitchen is almost done! Here's a sneak peak...

Thanks for the posative reminder that it will happen in God's perfect timing…. Also helps to know I'm not alone with the baby frustration! :)
ReplyDeleteThe garland is so cute! Stay positive and it will all happen in time -- that's what people keep telling me :) Or buy ovulation sticks, like I did. :)
ReplyDeleteKitchen is beautiful. Hang in there with the baby making-- and you are so right-- our plans are not our own-- THANK GOD, really. :)
ReplyDeleteAll in good time...you know you can get pregnant, so rest easy and try not to think about it TOO much. Though, who am I kidding? I am the same type of planner you are. Oy! The kitchen looks so good! What a huge project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good reminder that we are NOT in charge, although that's hard to digest sometimes, especially when you want something so badly!! I LOVE the garland - you are way more artistic than me ;) And I cannot wait to see the final kitchen!!! I love the sneak peak!
ReplyDeleteYep, we are not the ones who get to make these kinds of decisions. Out of our hands. Despite the impatience (and believe me, I know that feeling all too well) you seem to have a great attitude and outlook about it. It'll happen...when it's right. I'll be praying for you guys though. That can't hurt. :)
ReplyDeleteDont give God deadlines, His timing is perfect. Trust Him.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! It will happen when it's right! I know how hard it is since it took us a year and 8 months of fertility treatments. I think when it takes time you appreciate the miracle even more :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks awesome! Can't wait for the final reveal.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been ttc for 5 years and 4 miscarriages. It will happen in gods timing.
