Carrying Life

So I finally have the freedom to share the most glorious news: I have a precious little life growing inside of me. I have known for several weeks--all the symptoms, tests, and doctors visits confirmed it all.



It was only a month ago today that I thought my life was changing due to a job loss. Well, I didn't lose my job. I conceived a child. (Boy, was I way off!)

But I was right about one thing: life is changing. Less than 9 months from now (Lord willing), I will be holding someone Philip and I will completely cherish and love for the rest of our lives. I wonder who he/she will be and whose lives they will touch. I know for sure that this tiny, now 1-inch baby, has already profoundly changed me--and I shall never be the same.

So, my prayer is that the Lord will allow me the privilege of carrying this life safely. I pray He will grant me and Philip a further privilege to experience many wonderful years of parenthood.

Pslam 132: 19: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

Knit away, Lord! Knit away. :)
