You must have way too much time on your hands!
Krista, I know you are disappointed after having had a target date to look forward to...but we know that God makes no mistakes, right? His timing is always best...who knows what you may avoid by leaving 3 months later than hoped for.... OR who you might meet by waiting around another 3 months...or...or ...or!! Hindsight is always so much better than foresight. Happy birthday ...and may this new "gift" of patience come in handy!! God Bless, Ruthie S.
