Lately, I've been a bit overwhelmed. In a good way. I've found myself pleasantly surprised at how much I've been enjoying being pregnant. God has truly blessed me with a great pregnancy so far :) I cannot complain about anything. Never would I have expected to enjoy it this much. This little girl inside me amazes me. And with that...
I find myself more and more in awe of God's wonder...how He creates life, how He loves us enough to give us the gift of being able to have children, how He plans everything in His perfect timing.
"Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek Him. Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles..." Psalm 105:4-5

Revelation...
Yesterday was a tough day. I was a little moody, impatient, and frustrated with people. I could blame it on pregnancy/hormones, but I don't think that is it at all. It's just me...and my human-ness. It's like if somebody doesn't say or do what "I" think they should do, something is wrong with them. Halfway through the day (and this doesn't happen often)...revelation.
I felt like God was telling me, "Who do you think you are, why do you take yourself so seriously"? He went on to tell me, "what about all you read and learn...what happened to "love your neighbors", what happened to putting into action My principles?" He pretty much put me in my place. It was a revelation, a big one.
During this battle in my mind, the following verses popped into my head:
"...Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us." Romans 12:3
"Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection..." Romans 12:9-10
"Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!" Romans 12:16
"If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important." Galatians 6:3
Thank you God for this revelation.
