Well, this morning is a unique morning. It is the last morning of waking up and preparing for the day with only one child to manage. Tomorrow morning, we will head to the hospital to support Jenn....as she is induced and gives birth to our little girl. The time has come...and we are ready!
NOW...when I say ready....I had to ponder a bit before I could actually write that statement.
The house isn't clean enough!
The yard/ landscaping looks horrible.
The fridge is almost empty and the pantry is desperate!
We haven't gotten enough sleep.
The nursery isn't established....YET!
We are riddled with anxious excitement, but also worry.
Things aren't as organized as I was hoping.
BUT
We have a marriage that is strong, supportive, and loving.
We have a house that is safe, and secure.
We are blessed with the financial resources to provide for our family.
We have hearts that are open and excited to be filled with love for another child.
We have amazing family who are excited and ready to support us in anyway possible.
We have an outstanding church family who are ready and willing to rise to the occasion.
And most importantly, we have a Savior....Jesus Christ our Lord...who we followed faithfully down this path. A very specific path that He laid before The Vaught's.....and instructed us "Trust in the Me with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me, And I will make your paths straight" (adapted from Proverbs 3:5-6).
So, with plans to run around today....trying to make the house a little cleaner, the fridge and pantry a little fuller, the yard a little more acceptable....and the home a little more organized....don't be surprised if you call me and find I'm laying on the couch, enjoying a peaceful rest.....because I might just decide to....
LET IT GO because We are ready!
