GUEST POST by Michele: Imperfectly Wonderful World

For those who have ever suffered from infertility or had issues getting pregnant, I can relate. Being the planner that I am, I had perfectly planned to have a baby in the spring so that it would work better with my work schedule. Since I’m a teacher, my plan was to have the baby in April or May and be home all summer with the baby and return to work in August. I soon found out that there are some things that are out of our control.  Sometimes our plans just don’t work out as we have imagined. In February 2006 after many months of disappointment, I was thrilled to find out we were expecting. That meant later that year we would be welcoming a little baby. Will was due at the end of October but was stubborn and decided to make his appearance a week late at the beginning of November. It couldn’t have been more perfect timing. I was able to stay home with him all of November and December and part of January. He wasn’t the spring baby that I’d planned, but the blessing he’s been to us has been more than anyone could have planned other than God.

I too have learned that there is a season for everything and God has much bigger plans for us than we can imagine.  He sends people in our lives just when we need them!
