Today I'm thankful for peace.
I'm pregnant. I'm really really pregnant. And I've been indignant about the fact for the last few weeks. Don't ask me why. I wanted sooooo badly to be pregnant. We've been planning and waiting on miss Delaney for quite some time now!!
But I've really struggled with my attitude! Ever since getting off the meds to keep Laney in, I've been thinking surely she is coming any day now. It's been making me a loon!
So yesterday God and I had a heart to heart. I cried...a lot. And prayed that He would just please give me some rest if He's going to keep me this way for much longer. Some of my wonderful family members have also been praying for some rest for my huge pregnant body. Guess what? I woke up at 630 this morning! 630! I slept through the night last night! I couldn't believe it. No contractions, no pee breaks. Nothing. I woke up feeling incredible and ready to conquer the world!
I am so thankful for some rest and for this new peace that has overtaken me. I know that this is God's peace because it is not circumstantial. I've still had contractions all day, I'm still enormous, I'm still longing to have my little girl in my arms. But my Father loves me and has great plans for Laney and I and He has given me peace to wait for that timing!
I'm so so thankful for this new attitude and am praying that it will stick! It makes me feel like labor is kinda far off since I'm so OK with where I'm at now. The last person I know that felt this peace went a week over her due date! :) But I'm so thankful to be feeling this way!
peace is indeed wonderful. :) i'm very happy that God gave you this gift!
