I tend to be a person that likes to make decision in a timely manner. I will think/pray about them first, but after I have made the decision I like it to be made and out of my head. I like my life to be organized and planned. However, the Lord has recently been showing me how impatient I am when things can't be decided or answered right away. There are several things in my life right now that are unanswered. I think the Lord may be trying to teach me something here!! For example, our son Micah is going to be 3 in January. We love him so much and he brings so much joy to our lives. He is a healthy energetic boy! However, for whatever reason, Micah doesn't talk. He has words that he can say and he tries so hard, but most of what comes out of his mouth is gibberish. This has been a struggle for me. He goes to speech therapy and that is seeming to help a little bit. Drew and I have been praying that the Lord would grant him the ability to talk, but the Lord seems to want us to wait for that!! This is very hard for a sinner like me. I want my son to talk! It is very sad for me to see him try to play with other kids and not be able to communicate with them. In my head I think, kids aren't going to want to hang out with him because he can't talk. I get very impatient thinking when is this going to change! Thankfully, the Lord has a cure for my impatience. When I think about how sinful I am in wanting things my own way in my own time, I am completely humbled. I am so disgusted at the way that I am not trusting God to do what He wants to do in His own time. He is so forgiving when I repent of my sin and trust again that He is sovereign and He knows what is best for my life and for the life of our son. I just need to wait and trust....
Note to Grandma's: I did pull his arm out of the crib after taking this picture:)
