My due date is getting closer and closer and I am experiencing more and more anxiety. I only have about a week of work left and I am about to embark on my next journey in life...motherhood. I am so excited to meet my little one and to see what his personality is like who he looks like (if he will be anything like me or a carbon copy of his father). I am also scared of the unknowns- is he perfectly healthy? will there be any complications with labor? will i be a good mother? Fear has reared it's ugly head and I let it have it's way many times. But I am reminded that He will give me grace for this just like He has for every other new situation. These song lyrics by Sandra McCracken came to mind. Maybe they will help some of you too.
Grace Upon Grace
In every station new trial and troubles call for more grace than I can afford
Where can I go but to my dear Savior for mercy that pours from boundless stores
Grace upon grace every sin repaired, every void restored you will find Him there
In every turning He will prepare you with grace upon grace
He made a way for the fallen to rise; perfect in glory and sacrifice
In sweet communion my need He supplies
He saves and keeps and guards my life
To Thee I run now with great expectation to honor you with trust like a child
My hopes and desires seek a new destination
And all that You ask your grace will provide
