I sit on the steps of the deck watching my kids carelessly play in
our yard. The swing sores high as two siblings take turns pushing our
laughing toddlers. Hanging on branches above them hide three more
siblings. Playing…laughing…
I watch and ponder. I don’t deserve
all this wonderfulness. I didn’t ask
for it. I was headed down a different path. One without kids… A freer
path...a fly with the wind path. A do what I want when I want path.
Babies were not in “our plans” because the doctor’s diagnosis.
So dreams were dreamed without them present.
Then…
God interrupted our plans without our asking.
And through a surprise pregnancy He whispered, “Follow me this way.”
I answered, ”This way? Not this way. We have PLANS.”
And He said, “Trust Me.”
The
tears soaking my pillow at night were not over a surprise pregnancy,
but rather over my messed up plans—my interrupted schedule. Moving into
unknown territory rocked my world and left me fighting the Creator…the
One who programmed into my soul EXACTLY what would fulfill me…The All
Knowing Creator of my being reaching down to BLESS me and I FIGHT BACK!!
