One week. 7 days. That's it. This time, a week from now, our son will be here. Where has the time gone? As we count down the final days, I'm feeling so many things - happy and excited to meet our amazing son and hold him in our arms, thrilled to rid of these aches and pains, anxious about the aches and pains that are to come, nervous about the anticipation of surgery and recovery, curious to see how much hair Mr. Benjamin has (and how much he weighs), wanting confirmation that all is well and that Benjamin is healthy, excited to introduce Madeline to her brother, leery of how she might react (though I think she'll do great)....the list goes on. So, we go into the coming week, with the following resting on our hearts -
I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 43:4
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:19
With childbirth (and in life in general) there is a lot of uncertainty. But, one thing I know is certain. Derek and I have been blessed with two magnificent children. And we are so looking forward to watching them grow up together and bask in the glory of our growing family.
Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead!
I Peter 1:6
