Pregnancy – Is Anybody Ever Really Ready?

Pregnancy is such a wondrous event. It is quite the experience, to say the least. There have been so many changes physically, and emotionally. One thing is for sure, this process could never be the work of human hands; it is only by the hand of God that a 40-week process such as pregnancy could take place.

I am just about in my 36th week. I have had one of the more pleasant pregnancies given the average stories out there. I didn’t have any morning sickness, didn’t gain an enormous amount of weight, have been fairly mobile, been in pretty good spirits, and only a few discomforts. Now I can by no means take credit for these great results. God is faithful, and I went to my Dad with my various petitions as the potential for symptoms arose. And He did what He does, He took care of His favorite (we are all His favorites ~smile~) little girl, ME!!!

And I have one more man in my life that is completely taking care of me, that would be my dear husband, Ernest Daniels Jr. In addition to doing all things to help make me more comfortable, he is attentive to my every slight change of mood or disposition. He is also reconstructing virtually the entire house to make our living conditions amicable for our precious bundle of joy that is expected to arrive on June 1, 2010!

I have always had many grand plans of how my life would go when I had children, but I am learning that some things are just out of our control. I am learning more and more everyday that God alone knows everything. This learning process started when I began to lose control of how much I sleep, then how much I eat, how much I use the restroom, how much I sit and what position I can sit in, how much I stand and the way I stand. It’s not all bad, it’s just different, and out of my control.

So I guess what I am getting at is that becoming pregnant has shown me a more vivid glimpse of God. I feel much closer to Him than I ever have. Do you know the song, “Who Would’ve Thought I’d Get To Know You This Way?” I think that song pretty much sums up all of the things that I have been feeling the last few months.

There are many exciting changes that are going on in my life at this time. A lot of the things are still in the works. But suffice it to say that God is faithful and He seems to be in a “showing off” mood! It’s like an exciting ride. I am not sure exactly where our family will land, but I trust God above all and I am going to enjoy the ride!!!
Thanks for sharing in my joy as you read a glimpse of my life, which is a far cry from all of that financial advice that I have been sharing! But we’ll be back talking about money in a couple of weeks. Meet you then!

Peace & Blessings
Sharon

I'll be back Monday, May 17th!
