Today is 8 days from the big Delivery Day and I am getting more excited. Well, actually I've been totally freaked out about delivery, but God has been giving me peace today about everything. I think that because of all my busyness the last 5 days my body just couldn't manage to do much today, so I laid around most of the day and then later this afternoon went to Starbucks to finish up Thank you cards. And tonight I was able to go to our Worship service at church. (It started pouring rain as I was leaving and I'm sure I was quite a sight as I'm attempting to walk/waddle as fast as I can to my car so that I don't get drenched.)
I love going to our worship/prayer service because its so relaxed and laid back and unhurried. I love it more than going to church because I can sit and pray or listen or sing my heart out and the presence of God is just unbelievable. We really focused on the holiness and glory of God tonight and then spent time praying for healing for people, for peace, for forgiveness, for those who are in need of work and for those who need to sell a house. That one really hit home for me, Bryan has been working so hard and this week has spent so much time at our old house getting it in the perfect condition to put on the market. Tomorrow is the big day and we really pray that God would bring a buyer for that house. Its a great house and I know He will provide. I spent a lot of time tonight just asking for God's peace..."Fear not, for I am with you". I know God is with me and I know He can accomplish anything He wants...I don't know why I have so much anxiety about having a baby, I have never been this anxious about anything before. I've always been the kind of girl that just trusts God with no reservation and I've always had faith in who God says He is and who God says I am, but for some reason I've really been struggling with that lately. Tonight was so great for me to sit in His presence and let Him just wash over me. If you know me at all you know what a huge part worship plays in my life and that is just what I needed tonight. God - you are so good and so faithful and Holy and Glorious. Thank you for your sacrifice, for dying on the cross for me. I no longer have to live in fear--you have replaced that with your purpose and your love.
So...all that to say, today was quite uneventful, relaxing and rejuvenating. Tomorrow will be packed full of errands again, but I think my body can handle it better after today's rest.
And in case you're wondering what Bryan has been up to lately, he's been at the old house almost every night painting and replacing base boards and putting up new mirrors and hardware in the bathrooms, etc, etc. I'm so glad he's been able to do all that for us and I feel awful that I'm not able to do much. We cannot wait to be done with that project so we can finally relax every night and spend some time together before Jax arrives. I have such a wonderful husband, I cannot even express how lucky I am to have such a man to spend the rest of my life with. He's going to be such an incredible daddy...I cannot wait to see him in action!
Goodnight--see ya'll tomorrow.
