    The Waiting Room

    We’ve all spent an important amount of our precious time in the waiting room. That room that is specifically designed for waiting. Interesting thing how we are totally ok with arriving to a place and expect to be sent off to the waiting room, no questions asked or complaints. But why do we struggle so much when in our life journey we find ourselves waiting?? I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m always waiting for something.

    The Now

    It all started in 2011-2012. We were living in Perth , Australia then.  At first I took the thought as “too big and crazy” then it became not that crazy but something I had to allow time to process. It was a hopeful desire that soon became very real and genuine. All our friends were having babies and so the conversations always led to : “what about you guys? When are you starting a family??”. Rickus and I really never felt the hurry to start a family for we rested in the fact that God has His timing for everything so we were never faced with the peer preassure. We…
