Living Life

The Lord starts the day with the shining sun and ends it with the radiant glow of the moon and stars. The Lord causes the rain to fall and brings forth sunlight at His command. The Lord makes people poor or rich. He humbles the proud and lifts the lowly. The Lord who touches and changes the way we think and feel is also the Lord who hardened Pharoah's heart. The Lord gives life, from the moment a baby is in its mother's womb until birth and into old age, and He takes life at His appointed time. The Lord does what He pleases. He is our Creator. He is aware of every circumstance, every detail of our existence. He knows what He is doing and He does it to reveal His glory.

Amazing, overwhelming, exciting, heart burning... What other words could express how it feels to be a first-time mom? I learned I was pregnant in April 2014. "Finally! Thank you, God!" I exclaimed in surprise.   My first pregnancy was a difficult journey. I suffered a miscarriage during my third month, coincidentally on the day of his father's birthday. It shattered my heart, and I spent every day trying to come to terms with what had happened. I showed the world I was strong despite the pain and disappointment. For my second pregnancy, I placed my trust in God just as I had before. Initially, it was hard for me to believe that everything would turn out well. I doubted my strength.
