Life Lessons

This morning Sarah Kate woke up at 6:00. Early bird gets the worm, right? She was anxious to get to school today. Only problem was, she had to wait until 8:15 to leave. So, after eating breakfast, doing her inhaler, brushing her teeth, cleaning her earrings, and getting dressed we still had an hour left to burn. She didn't want to watch cartoons. She didn't want to read. She didn't want to play. She WANTED to go to SCHOOL! I kept telling her that the doors would be locked, nobody would be there. I could see what she couldn't. I knew that we'd go there and sit in the parking lot for an hour waiting on someone to arrive. It didn't make sense. She still didn't understand and insisted that we leave. Of course, even though she cried a bit and was very impatient, I stayed at home until it was the right time to leave.

This morning...with this situation...I was reminded of myself and how often I plead with God for things to happen when I want them to. I am often Sarah Kate. I cry and worry and fret. I want to go to "school" NOW! But, God can see ahead. He knows that if things were to happen on my clock that we might sit in an empty parking lot for hours. I have to learn to trust God's timing. I have to trust in His perfect plan.

Just like with this second baby. I think things are going well. No more spotting, feeling fine, one ultrasound down, progesterone staying at good levels...but I'm not in control. He is. I have to know that no matter what time God chooses to make things happen (or not) in my life...HE is in control. He sees all and He knows all. He always knows what's best for His children.
