UNCOMFORTABLE!

  Marilyn is in the home stretch of her pregnancy.  Only about 8 weeks left until she’s full term (Praise God!).  At this point, I’ve read that the baby is increasing at a dramatic rate….the brain is becoming more complex and weight gain is about a half an ounce a day!  Just between me and you blog readers out there, she’s getting VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!  And when she gets uncomfortable, she gets grouchy.  Josiah likes to say, “Mommy wike a bear!”.  She’s getting really impatient and ready to give birth.

 

To be honest, what Marilyn is going through physically, I’m going through spiritually.  God has given me some promises, and given me glimpses into the next phase of the ministry.  I’m SO PUMPED about what the future holds, but until then I feel stuck….waiting on that part to arrive.  And it becomes so easy to get discouraged and sometimes even angry when I’m so uncomfortable.

 

I’ll soon give birth to that ministry God placed on the inside of me, but God doesn’t want to deliver it prematurely.  Only after it is fully developed and I’m fully ready will God give me the green light.  Until then, I’ve just got to deal with the uncomfortableness, try not to freak out when I don’t see things happening, and just trust that the work that God has began in me will be completed.

 

So how about it?  Are any of you feeling the same thing spiritually?  How are you handling it?  Please leave me a comment…I’m sure it will be more help than lamaze class!
