Waiting Game

Seems like forever since I last wrote, I guess I have my moments like most people, when everything is going great, I want to share, then life throws you a curve ball and keeping everything bottled up inside just seems so much easier.

Today at work I came in, sat at my desk with my free McDonald's coffee that I got this morning and started working. It wasn't 10 minutes and I could hear the hospital come alive, the hustle and bustle of the nurses getting their patients ready for the day and the glorious (lol) sound of IV pumps going off began to ring aloud.

I sat at my desk and began working, when I heard a lady outside of my office crying, not sure what about but it broke my heart. Made me think about how much of my good times I take for granted and how much I focus on all the crappy things going on in my world. I closed my door and I began talking to God, praying that he would send healing to this woman and that he would watch after her and get her through this day, that I was taking for granted. As I was praying I began to realize, life can be so much better if we just give it to God. He knows the desires of our hearts. "May He grant you according to your heart's desire, and fulfill all your purpose

(Psalm 20:4)."

So that is exactly what I am doing! I truly believe that God knows the desires of my heart and he knows the desires of my husband and I to have a family, a child of our very own. Heck, we have already named them and pray for them every night. Sometimes I giggle wondering what they are doing in Heaven while we are waiting on them to come to us. Are the up there laughing and singing praise with our Lord. Are they running through fields of glory with him playing and talking to God about how they can't wait to meet us too! I know this may seem so silly, but it is getting me through each day and helping me learn patience with my Lord because I know God knows the desires of my heart.

Waiting is the hardest part of life, I think. I mean we wait everyday on something and how selfish of us not to enjoy that very moment that God has given us. I have a good friend at church who I look up to so much because of her patience. She is never the first person at church but still gets a good seat, never the first person in line for Wednesday night supper but always eats, and never the first person to speak her mind about anyone or anything but still her voice is heard and when it is, the sound is so joyful!

I think we should all slow down a little, if it is Gods will, it will be done!

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
