I woke up this morning determined to have a new and improved attitude. While praying this morning it hit me that I have made this pregnancy all about me. I'm uncomfortable, and impatient, and tired, and cranky. My thoughts and unfortunately my prayers have been self focused. When in reality it has nothing to do with me. God is (or should be) the focus of my life. That includes everything to do with this baby. God made this baby, not me. I am this baby's "Mary." I was chosen by God to grow and nurture and raise this child, but at the end of the day he is God's child. He has a plan for this baby, which includes pregnancy and birth (and their timing).
I am reminded of the scripture that got me through when we thought this baby might come early. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ." Philippians 4: 6-7
About Me
- Mandy
- I am striving to learn and grow more in 2012 than I have in any other year. I desire to be a better wife, mother, friend, and person in general. My goal is to grow spiritually and to become more like Jesus every day. My hope is to use this blog to share my journey with others to give and gain encouragement. I will post about my new job as a stay-at-home mom, what I am learning from books I am reading, crafts I am working on, and pertinent medical information.
