Aaaand it’s been another long while.  

I would just like to say, that the newest thing in my life as of today, would be my friend’s baby girl.

I’ve only known this couple since early fall, but they increasingly become my favourite people the more I spend time with them.  

I’m happy to have them in my life, because I’ve never been close with anyone who has a newborn.  It’s an amazing thing to be welcomed into :)

Watching new life appear into the world puts things into perspective, especially if stuff going on in your life are making things difficult.

At my age, there is nothing that I want more than marriage and babies.  It’s hard to see it happen all around me, having to wait my turn… then when you’re staring into a newborn’s eyes, part of you realizes its not something to be selfish about, but then the other part wants it even more!

I know I’m still considered young, but when it IS happening all around you, you start to wonder and compare.  You wonder what his heart really feels, you wonder if your time is running out…  You wonder why you were made to wait and others received it right away.  

But then you pray about it, and He shows you why.  He tells you that in order for you to be the best wife possible, your heart just needs a little extra time and care.  He knows your dreams, and He doesn’t want you to fail, so He’ll give you all the time you need… Even if you don’t know or think you need it.

Life is funny like that.  I’ve known for awhile that you can’t really plan too far ahead for things out of your control, however, that doesn’t really stop me from still doing it!

I suppose I gain a false sense of comfort, when I think I have everything sorted out down the road.  It makes complete sense though.  The unfortunate truth, is that the more you DO try to control the future, the more it seems to fall apart.  

When it all boils down, there just really isn’t a point to compare, control or worry.  It does nothing but make one sad.  I know this, but I need to really instil this truth into my life.

And for now, I’ll leave you with this precious angel.
