Derrick and I were talking last night about how we both just have an overwhelming sense of peace right now. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's like everything going on just doesn't matter as much anymore. I feel like we have finally come to the place of true waiting. Before I fought it so hard; I was stressed, couldn't sleep, was worried about my job, and not satisfied with anything. Now, as we know that we could possibly be pregnant next year; it's like are priorities are shifting. Our priorities are God, each other, then everything else will be ok; it will happen with or without us because we are making ourselves available "Waiting"!
 
I have undervalued the peace that comes with true waiting for way too long.

  2. I think I am in that place too, for a whole other reason. But it truly is peaceful. I'm glad we can wait for our blessings together and be close, because you have what I'm waiting for and I have what you are waiting for, so we can be there for each other in a very unique way.
