Well, I was eager to get our baby furniture put together and set up in the baby room, so this weekend, I got ambitious and assembled the baby bed. We got things set up for the time being, but still need to select bedding, paint, and a few other fun things. Our hope is that as God continues to provide me with lots of energy and ‘feel well’ this summer, we can get most of our preparation completed, so as to decrease the amount of additional things on our plate when our fall semester starts!
I am also working ahead on an online class I am taking in the fall, hoping that will lighten my school load too! ☺ Especially since the baby is due Nov. 30th, a couple of weeks before finals are completed! So, I’m trusting that God will help us complete as much as possible (if not all) that we need to before the birth! However, I want to have a content heart either way and know he will provide. It is just so tempting for me to want to have all my ducks in a row for the sake of what I think is best, and sometimes (well, actually often) it seems that God has a different plan. So, I want to have a heart that is willing to grow and know His love and grace more through the journey rather than worrying about the end goal all the time.
"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Matt. 6:30-34
