Overdue!

I almost got to do a 10 month pregnancy photoshoot...
I was well overdue!

The last weeks were hard for me.
I was more than uncomfortable and not sleeping... so very tired and emotional.

But more than this I was ready.

Ready to meet our little girl,
ready to be a mother.

Ready.

I tried every trick in the book to bring on labour...
every old wives tale.

I was ready...
but she was not.

She was still kicking,
still growing.

She was waiting...
and waiting...
and waiting... for her perfect timing!

Was this a test of preparation for motherhood?
A test for trusting God?

I know it is not by our timing but Gods.
He sees the whole picture.
We see only but a few brushstokes of his final work of art.

We must trust
and we must be patient
... with a faithful heart.

For when the time is right...

IT IS AMAZING!
