For many years, every time I encounter a situation where I am reminded of Jeremiah 29:11, I honestly think..."okay, Lord, this time I really understand!" or "Got it Lord! I completely trust you"....Well, that is until I come up against the next "new situation" that causes me to doubt! How weak my faith can be and is most of the time!
We found out within the last 24 hours that there is a great likelihood that Hudson and Emma will both be coming into our world at the exact time...literally, it could be the same day! We have been praying for Hudson's arrival for so long and was truly wanting his arrival to be this month. However, yesterday we were told that his embassy date is not even scheduled until Nov. 14th....putting his travel home date several weeks after that. Emma, who we thought was due on Christmas Eve, has now been moved up a week to the 18th. If I spend much time thinking about this, my mind and heart become completely overwhelmed...however, I know better than to spend time there. God is so, so, so faithful and He has been more than enough for us throughout this journey, so why in the world would I be questioning Him now?!? I am going to choose, once again, to read Jeremiah 29:11 and rest in full assurance, that His way is perfect and there is nothing that happens to us or around us that is outside of His control.
Sean and I are getting super excited, but we are also subconsciously working on an internal countdown clock....we know life is getting ready to change in 10 weeks...while we are so wanting it to be here, there is a part of us that is a little sad to leave this life that we have now known and loved for almost 6.5 years. We are so blessed for our relationship and friendship--we truly are each others best friends, and I know there is no one else I would rather walk this journey with than him...
We know the Lord has plans for us and each day we realize that there are many, many, many more to come!
