It wasn’t a coincidence.

It wasn't a coincidence. But then again, it never is.

I knew this Advent season would look differently this year. I knew that my "waiting" would have more meaning, for I was waiting on a child to join our family. I wondered how that waiting would continue after Marion arrived. But never would I expect the hardest part of the waiting would occur just after she was born, when an unexpected and incredibly difficult c-section would throw me for the biggest emotional loop I've ever expected. I now am forced to stop, be still, and rely on the graciousness of others in the most humbling of ways (and oh, how we've been so very loved by all around us!) and wait patiently on Him for healing. I just can't help sitting in awe and amazement at how the Lord's plans are so much greater than my own. Today, I'm humbled and thankful for this intense time of waiting in my life. "Advent is a journey toward Bethlehem. May we let ourselves be drawn by the light of God made man."
