STILL PREGNANT!!!!!! and 40 weeks.
Oh do I wish that this baby would be born. I officially hate due dates because there's so much anticipation that goes with them. I remember feeling the same way with Easton. If you remember, I was 5 days past my due date with Easton. I guess my children just like my cozy womb!!
Although it's so hard to wait, I feel that God has been teaching me a lot through this "waiting" period.
The first is CONTROL. I guess I always need a good reminder that I'm NOT in control. I can try all of the "tricks" to start labor, trust me I have tried many, but ultimately, this baby is going to come when God wants it to.
Psalm 139: 13;16
"For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb."
"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
God has ordained from the beginning of time the "birth date" for the child. I have to rest in that truth.
The second would be TRUST. I have to trust that what God says is true.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know that plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
He has a plan, and I have to trust that His plan is the best.
One of my struggles is worry. I was always told when I was a little girl, that I was a worry wart. I play out all of the possible scenarios in my mind and then get overwhelmed. Overwhelmed to the point of not being able to function or sleep. I will tell you that all I can think about is when this baby is going to arrive. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it, and can't get back to sleep. So, again, I have to rest in the truth of His word;
Matthew 6:34
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
So, although I would like this baby to come NOW, I rest in the fact that God knows best and has a perfect plan ordained for this child.
I'm praying that we'll have news of a little one for you soon!!
