My Will Be Done

Yesterday day I started spotting a little bit. Throughout the day, I became more and more worried. My mind was racing with the possibilities of the pregnancy not ending up with a precious baby at the end. I tried to put it out of my mind so not to freak out, but also be realistic with my expectations. In the middle of the night, the spotting got a little worse, and then I started having cramps. I laid in bed, wide awake. Praying out loud and crying. I was trying to say the words..."Lord, your will be done." But it kept coming out..."My will be done...my will be done...my will be done." Because I didn't want to even visit the idea that God's plan for me would be to loose this baby. After a bit of fighting, and crying, and just breathing. I prayed for the strength to utter the words..."YOUR will be done." And I could. And then a peace washed over me and I was able to sleep.
Thankfully today I have taken it easy. I've rested and not done much of anything and the bleeding has stopped for now. And thankfully it wasn't even enough to get checked out for. But of course I'm worried and probably will be until I see or hear a heart beat. And here in the day light, I still want to say, "My will be done." And I have to again pray for the strength to ask God for his will...

  3. OH Helen Joy! How I know what those feelings are like! And how hard it is to truly say and mean the words, "Your will be done!"

    "Dear God, I pray for Helen Joy that she can feel your presence and your peace surrounding her right now. Help her to know in her heart that you love her so very much and want only the best for her. I pray that you would give her the courage and the strength she needs to give everything over into your hands. In Jesus Name, Amen."

    I love you!
