Savoring

There are only 15 more weeks until our baby is due. Wow. So much change is about to occur that I would love to spaz out and over-analyze everything. My comfort in keeping sane is that God ordains the seasons of our lives. For us, parenthood (though we are parents now - just not as in demand as when baby will be out of the womb) is quickly approaching. God has ordained this as our time and will sustain us as he always has. I am so blessed with a husband that doesn't freak out over things like someone I know (ahem...okay, maybe it's me) can be prone to do. God uses him to balance me out and remind me that we can only take one day at a time. "For every time there is a season and a purpose under Heaven..." I have spent a great deal of my life looking to the "future" and feel that recently, through various means, the Lord has been reminding me to live in the present and enjoy THIS VERY MOMENT. Right NOW is a blessing. Right NOW will soon be past. Time is fleeting. Make the most of THIS VERY MOMENT.

"Remember that my life is a breath..." Job 7:7a
"Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!" Psalm 39:5
"Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow." Psalm 144:4
