Dad likes to remind me this actually means I'm working on my 35th week, which is a huge accomplishment considering how I find myself begging God these days for my water to break. But it's a selfish request, and more than me knowing that, HE knows that and is not obliging me.
I've gotten a good dose of perspective this week. Friends have completely lost their homes, people have lost loved ones, and we find ourselves surrounded by agony and screams for food, relief, water. I broke the rules and have been working more than I should the past few days but that's just how I'm wired. I can't in good conscious sit here on the couch when my job and my calling is to help folks in times of crisis. But I'm trying to Remind myself daily that I'd be foolish to think I'm the only one who can, and right now, I have different priorities.
One of my best friends Kerry sent me a long list of verses that she clung to when she was scared over the uncertainty of her son Samuel's arrival. One in particular really stuck out to me: "you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you."
And for today, I feel at peace.
