When Baby Fever Hits & You Don't Have a Baby...


You head to Target like usual, with a few things on your list, yet somehow wind up in the baby section.  Next thing you know you're inwardly cooing at the cuteness of some crocheted unicorn bonnet complete with little gold horn + fluffy pink mane. {Be still my !}  You pick it up.  It's only $7.99 {& you have a gift card, after all}.  You put it back.  You pick it up...  Eventually, you find yourself at the checkout with the hat + matching slippers tucked {*cough cough* hidden} under other purchases, because you know, you've lost it, & you're just hoping the cashier doesn't ask who it's for...

Because, honestly, you don't know yet.  You don't know how that prayer in your heart will be answered & when, & you're waiting & praying & doing crazy things, because this possible-one-day baby - this God-made miracle - means so much... even long before conception.

To all you sisters out there who find baby paraphernalia in your carts {+ subsequently hidden in your closets} long before the baby's in your belly, please know this, God answers prayers + His timing is perfect + He has a good plan + He loves you more than words express...  I know that may seem like fluff right now, but it's really not, because we serve a God who keeps His promises, & while no where in scripture does He promise every believing woman a child, He does tell us all things work together for good for us who belong to Him {Romans 8:28} & His ways are perfect {Deuteronomy 32:4}...  In the waiting, I'm holding on to that.  I hope you do, too.
