Waiting....
“Waiting” is not one of my favorite words! Who likes to wait? I’ve been thinking about waiting recently….due in large part to the fact that my family and I are waiting for the birth of our baby!

She brought up the verses in Psalm 139 that speak so intimately of our creation. “For you formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfull
