The waiting game...

So one of my favorite saying is patience a virtue.

What is Patience....
Patience is quiet hope and trust that things will turn out right. You wait without complaining. You are tolerant and accepting of difficulties and mistakes. You picture the end in the beginning and persevere to meet your goals. Patience is a commitment to the future.

Waiting to find out the sex of your unborn born child -- patience
Trying to explain why you did not want to find out -- patience
Either way you cannot change the sex, there are few true surprises in the world, and most of all it drives all your loved one crazy!:)
Have you ever thought we might know:) -- well we don't.

Not knowing when your child is coming into the world-- patience
You could be anywhere - church, Kroger, preschool, in bed, driving your car, eating out-- are you going to be that person whose water breaks when your out? How are you going to explain that to your almost 4 year old--
well no honey Mommy did not pee everywhere-- well OK yea I did pee --lets just leave it that

Walking through the baby department and hearing WOW when you walk by from someone -- oh yes he was referring to my belly -- and not stopping to either slap him or start crying -- patience

Not killing your husband even though he has not done anything wrong,
but cannot seem to do anything right -- patience
Matt is such a wonderful person~ but for some reason he cannot blink right- people say your the hardest on the ones that you love-- well I LOVE YOU BUD!

Patience is a funny thing -- you just have to wait and know that God knows better than you!

I love being pregnant it is such a wonderful blessing to have a child and we are so excited about Maymie getting a sibling. Even though she is also excited her world is about to be ROCKED!

I promise to let everyone know when we are on our way -- until then patience!!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Audrey Hepburn:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and remembered; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.”
