Past My Due Date

Waiting.....

Stillllll waiting!

I am still waiting to get the call that a teacher has joined the April China team and we can go ahead and get plane tickets. (A teacher who is hoping to travel with us is waiting on approval for time off from her bosses - please continue to pray!)

I feel like I did when I was past my due date when I was pregnant with Jacob. 

I wake up each morning with eager anticipation that TODAY MAY BE THE DAY!

But alas, another day goes by and no email or phone call.

I'm trying to not be anxious.

But as each day passes, it gets a little more difficult.

I know this is all part of God's plan to have me trust Him completely.  As my mom once told me, God sometimes asks us to exercise things we have (or thought we have) learned in the past.

I was eleven days past my due date when Jacob was born.  Day and night would pass and I couldn't figure out WHY I wasn't having this baby that I thought would actually come before my due date.  I know that God was teaching me that He does things in HIS time, not necessarily mine.

Lesson learned.....

so I thought!

But here I am again....wondering why a teacher hasn't been found, why we haven't bought plane tickets, why I don't have more to "hang my hat on" regarding the trip to China.

God is once again, reminding me that HE is in control and things happen in HIS time.

"Now FAITH is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1
