Preparing for D-Day

Lance and I are preparing for D-Day. Our next (maybe final) appointment will be this Friday. Sometime next week we will officially be parents. What an exciting and nervous time. On our way to church this morning we were talking about how next week, we’ll never be alone again. One of us or both of us will have a little someone riding around and going wherever we go.

It’s hard to imagine. I feel like I’m in a fairy tale. I never thought that this would happen to me. Since the age of 12 I’ve always wanted to have a little one to care for. I am so blessed and amazed that God felt that I’d finally grown up enough to trust me with one of His children. I’m honored that He chose to use me and my husband for one of His miracles. If we submit to Him, and follow His direction for our lives, He will use us in ways that we never imagined. He will use anyone for His glory. It’s how we respond and live that determines how he uses us.

This scripture has given me strength and encouragement throughout my pregnancy: Exodus 23:25-26 (NIrV) 25 "I am the Lord your God. Worship me. Then I will bless your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you. 26 In your land no woman will give birth to a dead baby. Every woman will be able to have children. I will give you a long life.

When you’re ready, He is there waiting. He will never leave us or forsake us. Let go, and Let God.
