There are certain decisions in my life that I have made on a whim with little thought. Then there are some decisions I have bathed in prayer for months or even years.

“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD!

You know, I started writing about having another baby two years ago. We’re still waiting. Still praying. Learning to just enjoy this season, which is rich with joy, wisdom, and grace.
