So today I am 18 weeks with Baby #2! I was struggling with my sin of worry over this little one last week and the Lord has been teaching me SO much about that... I am learning of the power of prayer and the peace of God that results from us laying our burdens before him instead of running around in circles, carrying them ourselves! How foolish we must look when we do that... and as a mother I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be for God to watch us do that when he wants us to lay them down before him so we don't have to carry them!! So after laying my burden down over the state of this child inside me... I have felt baby move every day since 17.5 weeks! Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and his grace when we don't deserve it! Andy even had the blessing of being able to feel baby move from the outside last night and that was just such a special moment for the both of us!!!
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
The verse that I have been clinging to this week as a result of my husband calling me to look at was is true and keeping me accountable to this verse! So thankful for Andy & his faithfulness to keeping me on the right path!
