Two More Sleeps

I hear parents often say to their children, "Just three more sleeps until we get to do this...or five more sleeps until we get to do that." And the kids then display such a mix of emotions from excitement to anticipation to sadness because the day they are waiting for cannot come soon enough. Three or five or even two more sleeps seems like way too many!

This is how the last week has felt to me and I've resorted to telling time by the "number of sleeps." This coming Friday, in just two more sleeps, we'll know whether or not our two little embryos have implanted. The anticipation has been almost unbearable at times. Just like a little child, I've been overjoyed at times, sad a few minutes later and then filled with anticipation moments after that.

By far, this has been the hardest wait we have experienced to date. My doubts and fears overwhelm me and I've found myself in much prayer and meditation, crying out to God to give me grace and faith and a trust in Him no matter what the outcome. Lord, help my unbelief!

Oh restless heart, do not grow weary
Hold on to faith and wait
The God of love, He will not tarry
He is never late

So I wait in the promise
I wait in hope
Yes, I wait in the power
Of God's unending love

Be still and rest secure, my soul
He knows what's best for me
Here in my patience lies the goal
To wait and trust in Thee

So I wait in the promise
I wait in hope
Yes, I wait in the power
Of God's unending love

Even through my imperfections
His light is shining through
Though dim I am still a reflection
Of mercy and The truth

So I wait in the promise
I wait in hope
Yes, I wait in the power
Of God's unending love
