The crib

Feeling so incredibly overwhelmed this week. There is much going on. We didn't plan or intend for all of this to land in this last month, but somehow it has.

Today, we put up the crib. It felt like progress.

It had been in the garage, awaiting a return trip to Gigi's. She so generously let us borrow it with Reece. Today, I couldn't help reflecting on the last conversation we had about it.

I emailed her on Oct 1st and told her it was ready (and I was even more so) to get it back to her. I was really ready too. It was sitting in the garage, and I saw it every day, sometimes multiple times. Although I had found a peace about God's plan, whatever it was, I was still ready to not see it every day, sitting there, reminding me.

When she wrote back, she said, "Don't worry about the crib and the glider...keep it until you need it again." I was thinking, "no, you don't understand..."

But, no, in fact it was I that didn't understand.
I never expected that within 2 months of sending that message, I'd be turning 40 and be 40 weeks away from this little miracle.

Thank you, Lord, for this crib that sat in my garage until your plan unfolded. And thank you, Lord, for another day.
