Missing out?... Not really

When I broke my foot I spent a lot of time thinking about all of the things I was missing out on and everything I could be doing.  As week 6 with the cast approached I started planning things I would do when I could walk. We had been doing a really good job of keeping things tight around here. My job doesn't pay for maternity leave so we knew we would need to plan for the three months I would be off.  My due date is around the holidays (which I get paid for) so I was saving my vacation to use at the beginning of December in hopes of only going a week that month without pay BUT I had to use all of my time for my foot - Boo!

Now, the point of all of this is... Regardless of the money I decided to apply for an invitation to see Mumford and Sons in Simpsonville, SC and received one! Everyone says it is important to do things before the baby comes and we were close to buying tickets for their tour in the northeast earlier this year so I decided I would go for it. Well what do you know, the concert is tomorrow and we aren't going. I don't want to lie and say I'm not disappointed but I don't feel like I am missing out. Unlike when I broke my foot, I don't have any problems sitting around all day because in the end it will all be worth it, more than worth it!

We have been listening to M&S around the house and even stumbled across a live concert on Etv the other night! Taking the words from a few songs by our favorite band...

But I will hold on hope...

And I'll find strength in pain

Cause I know my weakness, know my voice,

And I'll believe in grace and choice

Let me learn from where I have been,

Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn....

....for I was told by Jesus all is well

So all must be well

You are not alone in this...

We will stand and hold your hand
