Patience isn't a strength of mine. I hate waiting! One of the hardest parts of this pregnancy for me has been waiting. I've had a lot of false labor which makes it much worse. This last Friday was terrible. I had set my mind on having this baby and I wanted him now! I was angry at God for not giving me the baby already and frustrated with the baby for not coming. I just felt out of control. Finally I surrendered once again to God's timing. I've been having contractions all today and part of yesterday and am trying not to get my hopes set in case its false again. As I was praying about it this morning I opened my daily verse on my bible app and it was Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
It was so comforting l. Reminding me that God is in control. He will bring this baby into the world when the time is right and in the mean time I'm eagerly (and not always so patiently) waiting to meet my little one.
