Living on Faith

"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." == Saint Augustine ==

I saw this quote this morning on Facebook. I thought it really reflects what Bob and I are going through. Having no control over what is going to happen is probably the scariest thing to be going through. All we can do at this moment, is continue to trust in God, and have faith that He will bring us through. He is the one with the plan, and we have to have faith in knowing that His plan is for us to have this baby healthy. Wouldn't it be just so easy if we could see God right in front of us, and ask him what his plans are? However, as this quote says, we have to have faith, and faith is believeing what we dont see...and the reward, in this case would be a healthy little Bradyn! I struggle with this everyday. Somedays, when I spot more then others, I start to loose faith. I have these angels next to me...I collect angels, I love angels. In fact, I usually have a pocket angel in my pocket or in my purse all the time. When I feel myself start to loose a little bit of faith, I take out my pocket angel, and I just hold it. I know that God has a plan, and he isnt going to give us something we cant handle. Some of us have to go through obstacles to get what we want in life, and it makes that gift, that much more of a blessing!

Lord,
I thank you for everyday that Bradyn is still growing healthy inside me. I pray to you Lord that he continues to grown, and that the next 18 weeks are filled with both Bradyn and I being healthy, and Bob and I preparing for the arrival of our blessing. I pray for all women who are pregnant, and for those who are trying...may they be comforted knowing that you are there, and watching over them.

In Your Sons Name,
Jen
