Time to pray

aaa
I'm not a patient person. I hate to wait and I specially hate to make others wait. I am always on time and Zé Maria and I are always the first to arrive everywhere we go. We know this, but we still do it every time. My friends used to tell me they were late because of the kids, but then I had R and we are still always on time.
I am an instant gratification kind of girl. I want what I want and I want it right now. I hate to wait in line in the grocery store or in fast-food restaurants, I absolutely hate TV commercials and I never let the microwave bell go off. I always take the food out a few seconds before it goes off. It's ridiculous, I know, and it really makes my husband crazy.

However, I did wait until 14 days post ovulation to take a pregnancy test. I was terrified I would get a faint, almost invisible line like I did last month at 13 dpo (as if one day would really make a difference). Of course I did take another test last month at 15 dpo and it was faint again. But it was hard enough waiting this long so I couldn't possibly wait until 16 dpo.

So I took the test this morning. And got a second line. A nice, strong, dark second line. And it didn't even take 3 minutes to show up, it came up immediately. So that makes me a little more hopeful.

So now we pray. I ask the Lord to make this baby stick, to give me the honor of being the mother to one of his children once again. I also ask of Him the strength to accept His will, whatever it may be. I ask Him to give me the patience I don't have to wait until we see a heartbeat before I get excited.
But first of all, I pray for my friend, who is going through the worse pain I can imagine. I pray that she finds comfort in her husband and her children, and in Him.
