Trusting the Lion

i can't belive i am 3 days from my due date. Nov 4th is coming so fast. i know it's not a magical day that she will come for sure but it is a day that i have been waiting for a long time now. As i flip thru my calendar every once in a while i would see it there.. Lynne's Birthday & Due Date for baby "L" I am actually praying for her to come on that day. Not just cause Phemister (my doctor) is on call but it is a full moon Which means i think i have a really good chance of going into labor. We'll see!

I am so excited about this moment in time when she will come into the world. A friend renamed it Homecoming instead of birth. i think that is just what it is. I can't wait to see her face to touch her and feel her little hands and feet. Mostly i can't wait to see Brian holding her and crying together that we are bringing home a new person to love and raise together in the Kingdom. He is going to be such a great dad. I can't wait to see him in that roll.

I want to take this time to trust in the Great Lion during this waiting time and thru delivery. He is the only one i trust and the one that made my body to do what it will do. Last night He gave me Psalm 16:8 to hold on to. I want to learn what this looks like: I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. He has brought me so far from fear and into a life of trusting in Him. i am thankful for this time.

I've had such a great time just getting ready for her. I've painted her room, a dresser, I made a diaper bag, i'm working on a Stuffed Animal for her, and i finally packed my bag tuesday night. It was too amazing of an event for me so i video taped it for her to see one day. i start with " Hi Lucy, I'm Joy, your mom. I'm just packinng your bag for the hospital" It was really fun to do. I'm sure there will be things that won't get done or i'll wish i did b4 she comes but i know that the Lord has the perfect birthdate for her and i trust in Him. The Lion does not disappoint.
