Our pastor spoke a couple of weeks ago about not getting what we think we need or desperately want right away.  It got me thinking – what do I want?  What do I think I need, right now?  One of those things I’ve mentioned before is our desire to have more children.  Both Timon and I are from families with three, and we are definitely set on three and probably considering four (whether or not the 4th comes out of my body is open for discussion).  But we are in a holding pattern right now.  Our home is maxed out as far as squeezing people in, and there are no prospects for moving visible on the horizon, mainly because that would involve a job change.

So, we wait on the Lord, and for what he has planned for us.  I have to trust that my body will work properly (HA.) when the timing of everything else is right.   Many people I mention having more children to have already presumed we’re done since we have a boy and a girl, and have already replaced Timon and me, world population-wise.  But there are still a couple of seats empty at the table.
