This Is Only A Test...

Disappointment is something I've dealt with a lot lately. I've never handled disappointment well. I had big plans and just assumed that certain things would fall into place at the right time, and they didn't, so I got angry. But the more I look at what appears to be a disappointing situation, the clearer I see that maybe this is the exact place that we need to be. I prayed so hard for my will to be done that I didn't see that God's will, though not as fun, is the best thing, the right thing.
When I found out that I was pregnant, one of the first things I did was pray that when this baby came into the world, I would be fully prepared to be a good mother. I also prayed that our marriage would be stronger than it had ever been.
Maybe all these disappointments and setbacks are doing just that-making us stronger. We're closer now than we've ever been and we're slowly getting to the place where we feel that we're capable of being good parents to Camilla.
So in that light, I guess I'm thankful for the setbacks.

And now that all the melancholy and sadness is over and done with, fear not, dear readers, the regular sarcasm and humor should crank back up again shortly. I thank you for your patience. :)

Shalom!
