The Waiting Game is ON!

They're tired, but not of waiting...it was Sunday.  :)

I know, there are still two and a half weeks left until baby #2 is due...but I am always hoping the moment is now! Especially when I'm lying in bed sleeplessly...especially at 3:30AM. I'm praying that I'll know it's time for sure and won't have any more of that false labour business. God answered our prayers last time and made it very clear that the time was now! (at 3:30 am, on the due date). I wonder if that means that Lucy will be always on time? I doubt it...not with parents like us! Haha. :)

We waited for Shawn to come from Germany, and he did!!!

If this baby would like to come early, I won't mind. :) I was praying today for God's timing and for the patience to wait. Why is waiting so hard sometimes? I'm sure it's because of our selfish nature, our sin nature. We want what we want when we want it. Adults are better at hiding it than children, that's all. We can twist our words and our sinful hearts deceive us into thinking we NEED it right now. Instant gratification. Convenience. Isn't that what society is all about these days?
I do not want to be deceived by the instant gratification lie being fed by society. I don't want to think I NEED a new car, a new house, a new pet, a new Bible, new clothes, or anything else this world has to offer. I know that,

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."~Jeremiah 17:9-10 

Mark 3:5

There is only one need I have~to be right in a right relationship with my God and my Saviour. I want to be satisfied in Him and in Him alone. I do not want to be enticed by the things of this world. I do not want to be driven by my emotions. I desire so greatly to be humble and wise. Those things both come from God and Him alone. I pray that God will keep me humble so that I can grow, change, and become more like Him. I do not want Christ to be angry with me for the hardness of my heart.These are a just a couple things I've been thinking about lately~to become more like Christ and to have this baby SOON!  :)

first pig tails!

loving her Auntie Shelby!
