"Let go and let God"

Just one short year ago, I was trying to patiently await the arrival of Grant. Jeff and I sat in my hospital room checking off the dates on a calendar that hung on the wall, praying that we could make it to the 24th.

So often in life we question what we do or how we do it. We wish we could control situations that are out of our control. In the hospital a year ago, Jeff and I worried about our unborn baby and I questioned what I might have done wrong. In the past year, I have stressed about schedules, feeding, going back to work, and just about every other decision I have made as a mother. But, as time passes and we reflect, we realize that all these things just naturally work out.

One of my favorite lines from a sermon given my our minister at St. Lukes was, "Let go and let God." Often times in the past year, I have tried to remind myself of this. I can only control so much. The rest is out of my hands. I pray that in the coming years, Jeff and I will continue to be as blessed as we have already been. Grant is such a wonderful little man. His life, and our lives, are sure to be filled "full to overflowing."
