Though it could be a while yet.
I don't really know what to think right now. I would love to meet this baby, but I think it would be nicer for him or her to have their birthday after Christmas... to have your birthday in the 4 days before Christmas just seems a little unfair.
I would love for him or her to be born next week sometime, but then Mum won't be here yet. But the week between Christmas and New Year's is just such a nice relaxing holiday week... and we will be relaxing and waiting, and waiting....
The house is spotless. The freezer is full. The little clothes are washed and the baby room is ready. I have a couple of little Christmas presents for my dear husband. We did 'Christmas groceries' last night so we are all ready with treats for the weekend.
I need to be patient! And trust that this little one will arrive at precisely the moment he/she is meant to.
All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.
How else would you know patience without the waiting?
And every hour that goes by,
every wakeful night spent wondering if this twinge you're feeling is the beginning,
every shift of an ever-growing babe lower and lower and lower,
every ache and pain and knowing that something is changing even if no one can tell,
every day waiting and wondering,
opens the windows of a life to let all of the grace-love in.
How else would you have known the grace of life long love
without some longing and some waiting,
some space for one to give and the other to receive?
