I have definitely been slacking on the blog. Every time I come to write, I get about a paragraph in and then I can't get much further...I suppose it is this pregnancy brain. All that to say, the Lord continues to sanctify me through this pregnancy as we prepare to meet our little Brayden in less then 6 weeks! I can't believe how fast time has flown, and I know he will be here before I know it.
I can't really explain what the anticipation feels like that I am experiencing, it is quite unique, like nothing I have ever felt before. There is a mixed array of emotions, excitement at the top of my list. And yet at other moments the reality of the responsibility of raising a child weighs heavy on my heart. My life is about to change, forever. Every mother I have talked to tries to explain the joy and love you experience with the birth of a child, but I know that nothing that I have heard or even seen can prepare me for what is to come. I can't even imagine what emotions must flood your heart as you finally hold the baby who has lived inside of you, for 9 months, in your arms. I truly cannot wait!
I am so excited to see Keith as a father as well. He truly is the most remarkable man that I know, and has been such an incredible husband this past year and a half. I can only imagine how wonderful of a dad he will be. Brayden is blessed to have him as a father, an example to follow.
My prayer during this last month or so before his arrival is for a trusting heart, in the grace of God and His power to equip me for this calling of motherhood. I pray that I would be relying and depending on Him for the ability to be faithful, and never in my own strength. I pray that He would help me to take each day as it comes, before his arrival, and when he is here, and to find the strength for THAT day alone.
34 1/2 weeks down...only a few more to go!
