Content

So this morning I've been thinking more and more of this: "a larger gap, given by God, is NOT a bad thing... enjoy the sanity before feeling barfy for 4 months, then huge for 5 months, then sleep deprived for a year."

Let's just say we get another month or so as a gap... it just means that I get to enjoy my pre-k, preschooler, and early toddler all the more before becoming consumed with morning sickness and the craziness that is the beginning of pregnancy.  And let's be honest, it's not exactly a cake walk around here.  Shaping young ages is not for the faint of heart or will, especially young close ages.  Instead of the wishing and hoping for something that just isn't right now, I'm cool with enjoying the normalcy, or at least our version of it.

I'm pretty confident God will grace us with a new little one when He's good and ready. <3

(I think I might be baby-bi-polar ... check with me this afternoon to see if I'm still complacent.) ;)

I'm trying to learn to be content too, but like your tick-tock to content posts leap, that's a back and forth thing for me, too. It's being honest about you feel but ultimately surrendering it to God, because as you said, His timing is best. Not that you always *feel* that ;) I was praying about my frustration last weekend... when He had me looking up at the mountains. And like I wrote in that post, I was so encouraged by the verse that "He who keeps you does not slumber"... God hasn't forgotten your heart or "fallen asleep on the job". It's just a matter of getting our hearts to accept that ;)

Totally with you though!

I think you are one of the wisest people I know, Erin. For reals. And I totally love your blog. You are much much deeper than I am... you are a thinker. I graze the surface. Not that we both don't rock. =)

Haha, hardly wise, but I think we DO both rock! ;) I *do* think a lot... I wouldn't say it's always deep thought... Sometimes it's more a tendency to over-analyze ;) But give yourself more credit... You say some pretty insightful stuff! :p And Lord willing, a few years from now and I have kids, I'm sure I'll look at your posts and wish I could string a sentence together, let alone post thoughtful insights and reflections on my life!
