You make this time whatever You want it to be Lord. I'm just here desiring to be close to You and soak in whatever it is You want me too.
We have a sonogram today and I'm always a little nervous/anxious because in reality, today is when we could find out something is terribly wrong with the baby. I pray for Your continual hand on the development of this baby. May You keep any external worldly harmful factors out and protect this child.
Keeping with the theme of thanksgiving, I decided to read the story of Hannah and the birth of her son Samuel. I have baby on my mind obviously and this passage popped into my mind because I remembered how grateful and thankful Hannah was to finally conceive. It was her absolute heart's desire she poured it all out before the Lord and He heard her and answered her prayers with a precious baby boy who would grow up and do righteous things. There is a whole passage dedicated to Hannah's song/prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord over providing her with a son.
Some of my favorite lines from her song...
1 “My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
2 “There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
8“For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,
She nailed it Lord. She took the focus off of her and put it all on You. She understood her place in this world in reference to You and she humbled herself.
May I be in constant recognition of my place in this world in reference to You Lord and never take anything You have given me for granted. Thank you for giving me this beautiful child within me. I can't wait to meet him or her.
