I have never headed into a new year quite like this will be. Most New Year’s Eve’s find my up to my eyeballs in goals, resolutions, and plans. We typically do a mid-school year evaluation in December and get ready to dive into new studies in January.
Instead I find myself waiting.
I can’t begin anything new because it will all be put on hold indefinitely. Nine days from now I meet Mason face to face. I am thrilled. I can’t wait to see him, smell his new baby smell, touch his soft skin, talk to him and look in his eyes, seeing a spirit fresh from heaven.
However my son’s birth launches our new year into unknown territory. I can’t plan for it, I have no idea what impact it will have on our regular, everyday life. I know we will be living at a hospital for a few weeks and then we’ll just have to see what comes next.
God is stretching me so far out of my comfort zone for the new year. I hear the same things over and over in response to my prayers:
- Trust me.
- Wait patiently.
- Have faith.
So those are my goals for 2012. To trust God, wait patiently, and have faith.
What are your goals for 2012?

Waiting is hard, but sometimes it's all you can do. Praying for you and your dear ones, especially that little boy you're waiting to meet.
Hope it all goes well with you. I will be praying for you.
Wow, nine days! Exciting and nervous. Praying that all goes well!
I'm getting so anxious I cant imagine how your feeling!I am mostly anxious because I'm not there and we all KNOW that if I was there everything would be ok.
;0) The only way I can stand being here and not there is that I know God has you all in the palm of His hand.
Love you!
Actually, I think those goals are the most important ones ever. I will keep you in my prayers. Having a sweet new little one is such a blessed experience and I know that your Heavenly Father is aware of your needs right now. Trust in him!
Blessings to you as you bring forth this new born son.
Trust, Wait, and Faith are the best resolutions I could think of!
In a few days you are going to have "your perfect baby" to see and smell. Prayers that all is well with your delivery. =)

Trust, Faith and Wait. I am sure that you are good at all of those except that last one. But I am also sure you have the ability to master the last one. I know that Heavenly Father is watching over you, Jason, Mason and the rest of the children.
Love You

I think your goals are on target. Waiting is the hardest part, but God is big and works in wonderous ways! Praying for you all!
Those sound like wonderful resolutions.
It is times like these that I always want to fast forward my life a bit because I always know it will be okay and I will settle into the new stuff in a few months. It is the not knowing what it will take to get through the tough part that is so hard. I will be praying for you and your family.
