I can wait
>> 6.28.2009
Okay, with only maybe a month left in my pregnancy, I often find myself saying "Oh, I cannot wait for this little one to get here." No sooner do I say it that I immediately take it back. You see, I have had preterm labor with my last two sons, one which included a one month stay in the hospital for me prior to his birth. Those pregnancies really taught me the value of time and waiting. Now, successfully 33 weeks and no preterm labor incidents, I can wait.
Yet, how often do we get anxious for something to happen because we have begun to get uncomfortable or even tired of the waiting process? If you have been pregnant, then many of you know exactly what I am talking about. But even you have not, having patience while God is in the process of working takes discipline. We are to condition our thought process, the words that come out of our mouths, and keep reins on our actions, especially when we are guided to just be still.
Time is not just valuable when a child is developing in the womb; it is valuable as we are developing in our walk with Christ.

One more month. How exciting!
Amen my friend! I am so glad all is going well with your pregnancy. God is good. The lessons we can learn from our pregnancy when it comes to our faith and walk in the Lord.
God bless and much love to you!
I hope your little one stays put and that you continue to be healthy for the rest of the pregnancy. I think your words here -- that patience is a valuable asset -- are really apt.
Thanks for participating in my Blog Carnival!
You are so right. Patience is not an easy lesson to practice, but it helps to have that trust in a loving God.
By-the-way, prayers that your newest blessing will be patient, too :)
