This post is a little humbling to ponder and write. One of the other entry-year teachers from my district was just a week ahead of me in her pregnancy. When I asked her how things were going earlier this week, she informed me that she has miscarried! That's not what I was expecting to hear from her. It was definitely an eye opener. For the next day or two that was all I could think about, wondering if I, too, am going to lose my baby.
However, I just really felt led to pray about the entire situation the past two nights and have prayed something along these lines:
"Lord, I give this baby into Your hands; may Your will be done. If it is Your will that we have this child, I thank you. However, if it is also Your will that this child go home to You sooner, I also thank you. Yes, the loss would be hard at first, but please give me the peace and understanding to see that in all things You have a plan and are in control."
It has been very humbling to pray that prayer yet comforting at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I will DEFINITELY be ecstatic when/if the doctor tells us everything is good and healthy. However, I'm not as focused on the negative that could happen anymore and am just enjoying every moment of this pregnancy, even all the burps! :-)
