What is important to you? Do you make yourself available to those around you, to the items in your life you deem worthy of your time? The amount of time you are busy doesn’t dictate the right use of your time. Think about that.

A whole new world of adventures, of sorrows, of times when your faith will be tested. By embracing what will come you will be tested and growth will come. This growth will bring strength, it will test, but it will be worth it.

The Waiting can be stressful but it can also bring so much joy and peace. Wait for the creation, wait for the laughter, wait for the small little legs to catch up to you. When you chose to slow down and wait, there is happiness in that.
