Our Big Top Life

Well, today is our 3rd appt since Carter's release from Wolfson's. One of the first things out of his mouth this morning was, "I don't want to go to the train doctor" - there is a big train display in the lobby of Nemours that he loves to look at. I'm hoping they can just prick his finger today instead of withdrawing blood via a needle. From the way he looks, I think his blood counts will be up. I hope I'm right and not just getting used to his paleness. I just read that Nemours will be closed this morning due to a loss of power caused by a main electrical transformer. All appts scheduled for this morning will have to be rescheduled. I am so thankful Carter's appt is for this afternoon. I have already been waiting a week. I found this quote a long time ago and threw it in a drawer. I happened to run across it the other day. I am not even sure who it is from but it was so timely for me. Hope it blesses you too!

"Waiting on God isn't about the suspension of meaning and purpose. It's part of the meaning and purpose that God has brought into my life. Waiting on God isn't to be viewed as an obstruction in the way of the plan. Waiting is an essential part of the plan. For the child of God, waiting isn't simply about what I'll receive at the end of my wait. No, waiting is much more purposeful, efficient, and practical than that. Waiting is fundamentally about what I'll become as I wait. God is using the wait to do in and through me exactly what He's promised. Through the wait He's changing me. By means of the wait He's altering the fabric of my thoughts and desires. Through the wait He's causing me to see and experience new things about Him and His kingdom. And all of this sharpens me, enabling me to be a more useful tool in His redemptive hands."
