Priorities

I don't get to post much anymore, but I wanted to take a few minutes and just note down my version of what happened at Cherish's baby appointment the other day. 

At the appointments they always take Cherish in and check her weight and blood pressure, but they make me wait outside the door. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it's some weird Grenada thing where they don't want the dad to know how much weight his wife has gained? Either way, I wait outside. In the hallway where I wait there is no ventilation. The waiting room isn't terrible, but the hallway is. While I wait I study. On Thursday, when the lady finally came to let me in I was hurrying because she is grumpy and I didn't want her being all rude about me putting my stuff away. Shortly after that I dropped my computer.

 I played it off cool in front of Cher, but I was SOOOO mad! I haven't been that mad in a long time! I am always so careful with my computer. I still remember when it got its first scratch and how upset I was. With the screen completely shattered I was furious. Cher came in and started crying and I played it off again like it was nothing, but inside I was fuming.

When the Dr finally came in we went in to see the baby. As soon as he put the fetal doppler up to Cher's abdomen I felt my anger completely disappear. The Lord opened my eyes and showed me what was really important. Sure I dropped my 900 dollar computer, but who cares?! Its just money. My wife and my baby girl, that is what really matters!

Ever since that day I haven't looked at anything the same. Yeah school is still hard and I have way more to do than I have time for, but what really matters is my family and I am making time for that. Mom and Dad, don't worry I am still studying, but now I study with perspective.
