The Waiting Game

Tom and I have played this game before and we are not fans.  We can be patient people, but this a waiting game we never intended to have to play again.  We wait for our next appointments; we wait in many waiting rooms; we wait for things to progress; we wait for tests to happen; we wait for test results; we wait for the baby to move; we wait for good news; we wait for bad news; we wait for answers; we wait for understanding; we wait for answered prayers; we wait for miracles....we just wait.

Tom and I know that we have a very painful road ahead of us.  The waiting game gives us doubts and fears.  These fester the longer we wait.  We want to have answers.  We want to understand what is happening.  Why don't we have answers? 

Tom and I are trusting God to help us.  We know our God is good and will help us every step of the way.  What we are having trouble remembering is that God does things in His time.  We want answers now, but God will give us what we need when we need it. 

For there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him.
Ecclesiastes 8:6

Praise God for His faithfulness in giving us a child!

  2. Abbey, you are still on my heart so much. I have thought about you several times when singing or thinking about this song I sing at church. It's called 4 Days Late. When I read this post I found it on you tube for you. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1gtUwZTLU8
    Quite a bit different from how I sing it, but you'll get the idea anyway. Praying you'll get some good news soon. -Sherry
