Is everyone pregnant? I think so…or maybe it seems that way when you’re trying to become pregnant. I’m naturally drawn to pregnant people and babies so the good thing is that it doesn’t make me jealous to see a bunch of pregnant people but it sure does seem like everyone is pregnant. The gift of life. Such a wonderful blessing and sometimes I believe that people take it for granted. Not all people, but there are definitely some people out there that don’t realize just how blessed they are.
I mean, when I think about it, when I became pregnant with my daughter, I didn’t realize just how blessed I was. It wasn’t planned, I was 20 years old and in college, I wasn’t married, so that in itself made me feel like it was the worse time that getting pregnant could have possibly happened. It was a blessing though. I don’t know how long it took me to realize that it was a blessing…it may have been several years but I eventually realized just how blessed I was to be able to bring life into this world. Such an amazing gift that only God could give. He chose me. He chose my womb for this wonderful child.
I know that he will choose me again but in his timing. I can’t dictate his timing because it’s HIS timing. This is one of the few times in my life where I’ve felt completely out of control and there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it but trust God. I have to REALLY surrender my all to him. I can’t just say it, I must do it.
Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7 (GW)
