Waiting
I have finished almost all of the annual lesson plans I am working on, and it has been so encouraging! It is so good to see where each of my children will be going this year instead of just going with the flow like I usually do.
So that brings me to my topic for today. Now that I am almost finished with my plans for the subjects that we have books for, I am getting more eager for the other subjects to arrive in the mail. I am not good at waiting and never have been. Even when I am pregnant, I can't stand the wait, I want the baby NOW. I am thankful that the Lord hasn't given me what I want and let me have a premature infant! Isn't He good to not give in when it isn't for our best? I usually just get my mind on other things, which is very easy to do with 6 children needing Mama and a husband that likes attention too! But now that things are a little quieter, my mind has turned to expecting a package and realizing once again that I don't like to wait. I never have, and I guess that is why the Lord allows me to wait so much, so I can learn patience. I wish I would hurry up and learn it so I don't have to wait anymore!
It looks like I will have to wait just a little longer to get our new books. Here's hoping that they come tomorrow! But if they don't I will use this time to think and pray before making plans for those subjects. I will use this waiting time wisely (even if I don't want to). Maybe someday I will enjoy the wait.

Right now we are waiting for a waterproof cast cover for Noah so we can enjoy the lake by our house while Noah's wrist heals up! THREE more days... seems like a long wait!
Elijah had one of those, they worked so well! Really hard to get on, but I wish they had had them when I was a girl! Have fun at the lake in 3 MORE DAYS!
