Waiting.....again......

     A few weeks ago I lead a video discussion  in a class at First Christian Church where we attend. It was a lesson on storms in our lives and how God  gets us through them.  Rob Bell is a young Pastor with a child in this video. He compares God's Love to the love of a Parent to the child.  Rob and his child were in a rain storm in the woods. The child's only reality at that moment in time was the thunder and lightning and heavy rain. That is all the child knew! What was happening right then, right there at that moment. Anyway, the father kept holding the child tight whispering. "I love you buddy!, we'll get through this, I love you."

     I'm sure when your mom and dad look back at the time before your sister, Taylor's, birth, they feel a tad bit like they were in a "storm". Knowing that was their first child and they were going to experience something they never have before. Giving birth to another human being and having the sole responsibility of raising and loving this child had to be a bit overwhelming.

      About 11 days before Taylor's birth, I made a blog entry in her blog about waiting. How mom and dad were preparing for her birth.  Physically speaking your mom feels she is at the same point as then. This would make you arrive around September 30th! WOW!!!  How amazing would that be  if it happened so soon!! Mom said today that she has lost a portion of  her mucous plug and has been having some of the contractions as she was back then. We can never tell about the miracle of birth, but this does point to the 8-9 month period of pregnancy.

     I'm ready for the STORM!! It will be a storm for you because your reality will be arriving into our world. Nothing else will matter except that moment right then and right there for you. Well you know what? That will be my reality as well.. Nothing is going to matter for me when that time comes at the moment right then!! As God will be whispering in mom and dad's ears as well as mine. We will be whispering in yours. "I love you baby,  we are going to get through this together, I love YOU".

Getting a bit anxious and excited again............ waiting... again.....
