So Micah and I spent practically all day looking for the basics for the nursery. We started the day off by going to the NC State Fairgrounds in hopes to snag a great deal on a dresser for our baby boy. Before heading over we grabbed some lunch at Jasmin's Mediterranean Bistro on Hillsborough St. It was quite delicious and we had a great time reminiscing our frequent trips there during library dates in our college days. Man do we miss college! Well maybe not the studying part... :)
Anyway...we made it to the fairgrounds finding some pretty things but nothing too enticing. On our way out we found a great deal on a dresser and were so excited to finally purchase a piece for Ariston's room so we rushed home to measure the space (oops guess we should have already done that!). Long story short...we called and the owners had already sold the piece! Bummer...
The next part of the day was filled with the same sort of dissapointment. We went on craigslist trips and were dissatisfied and sadly, my impatient self was getting frustrated. But we finally decided on the crib after much deliberation. We decided on the one pictured in my concept board. It's a Babyletto Modern Crib in Espresso. Finally something to build off of! However, I got so excited about it that while ordering it, I accidently ordered it twice!!! Major oops!
Lesson learned though is that I am in great need of patience. I found myself getting pretty anxious today about the whole thing today due to our limited time the rest of the summer to get his nursery together. Due to my stress and anxiety, I could literally feel the effects of what my stress was doing to our son. Christ reminds us to find our rest and peace in Him. Being anxious is sinful because I am not trusting in His promise to take care of me. Thankfully, Christ intercedes for me and reminds me that He is capable of taking care of me and I can rest in that. I am also thankful for a husband that loves me well by keeping me accountable of this area in my life. I can also be a better momma to our son when I am not stressing him out :)
Matthew 6:25-33
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?[g] 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
