Faith in uncertainty

Well, at 39 wks I'm officially a full time SAHM until my maternity leave is over which is at about 10 weeks post partum. Not sure how I feel about it? I love being a mother, it's the greatest blessing from God but I also have a deep passion for my calling as a nurse. It is where I get to be the hands of Jesus, the arms of the church, the feet of God. It's where I can spread the gospel, most importantly through action, touch and compassion.

I am excited for the arrival of this baby boy.  It had been difficult to cherish each day of this pregnancy knowing, and being at peace with the fact, that it is my last. I am confident in God's plan for me moving forward and I accept whatever His plan is.  I shall pray for guidance, pray for insight and have faith that I will know the path to take. I love that He has chosen me to raise 5 beautiful children to know and love the Lord, to be honored as their earthly parents.

I pray for completeness in my family, a unity built on the love of Jesus Christ.  I pray for Josh, that he is uplifted and guided, surrounded by mentors strong in faith. I pray that he leads our family with a passion I know he us capable of and that where our next move is will be in keeping with His plan.

"The LORD will keep you from all harm-he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forever more" psalm 121:7-8
