After

After we move back to Belgium I will read my bible every day.

After Gabri?l stops waking up at night I will be happier and more rested.

After the summer starts we will be more relaxed.

When I am older I will be more patient.

When the bread is done baking I will take time to play with Abel.

When I’ve been going to church here for a longer time I will know everybody and then maybe I will be more involved and talk to people and feel more at home.
When this day is over I will snap out of my grumpy mood,?when the laundry is caught up and the house is clean I will be more peaceful.

But it is now that counts.

If I don’t take time now, when will it be? If I don’t stop behaving like a 6 year old now, when will I, and how many words will I have said by the time I stop that I will lie awake about in nights to come?

The only after I want to think about is the after this life. The eternity we will spend in Heaven with God.

Now I want to be content in the mess and praise God in the middle of it by smiling at my baby.

Now is the perfect time to read my bible while I am covered in spit and can’t really do anything about it until the baby is in bed.

Now is the perfect time to ask God for patience when I feel like yelling at my kids.

Now is the perfect time stop worrying about next week and about the dirty dishes, to start enjoying the day, draw 1000 horses for Abel and then some more.

Now is the perfect time to start up a mommy group or be involved in the womens bible study because now is the time it blesses me and it blesses them and we can grow together.

Here is the place God put me and here is the place I will be and this is the spot where I will give my all for Him.

Here is where I will grow and now I’m alive and then? I will leave then in His hands, as well as after, when and next year.
