Recently I feel like everyone around me is preparing for something or moving towards something. Gender reveals, fast approaching due dates, adoption trainings, and pregnancy announcements are everywhere. And I don't exaggerate at all when I say I am thrilled to learn of all of them. I am thrilled for my friends who have waited so patiently as they embrace God's plan for their families. But in some strange way it feels like I'm getting lapped. Like I'm behind somehow. Like everyone else's planes are taking off and mine is stuck on the tarmac. Time is moving on for everyone else and standing still for me. It's June and I'm stuck in April.
