But you are right, they are gifts, not gods and to trust them to God's care is so important. And one thing I have learned to is that the fears can so easily come even once they are born because then you realize all the potential things that could happen to them as they are learning to explore this big world...climbing, falling, running too far ahead, etc!!!:) It could really never end so learning not to fear early on is a great lesson! You're ahead of the game to be seeking trust NOW!!!:) God bless you in your last days of pregnancy! I can not wait to read of your son's birth!! Anna,

I was really touched like this - you're right, there are some things that just lie completely in His hands. Beautiful post, Anna!

You make me smile as I think of what joys the Lord has in store for you. Sometimes the greatest difficulties bring the deepest joys. That hymn is definitely one of my favorites and has brought me much comfort in its truth. Beautifully written, Anna. You make me smile as I think of what joys the Lord has in store for you.

Especially in cases of loved ones. I'm praying for you...you mentioned your "son," so are you having a boy?? Fear can easily hold me back and has more times than I like to admit.

Isaiah 41:10 Also, this past pregnancy the hymn, "God will take care of you" was also a huge encouragement. I sang it often throughout the last four or so weeks of pregnancy. As a side note: my mom shared this verse with me when I was expecting my first one (this is not to help with the fear of losing the baby but with facing the labor) "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross despising the shame..." The more I meditated on this, the more it meant something to me ~ it seems in a very small way that we must endure the "cross" of labor (despising the shame) for that joy that is set before us ~ the joy of holding our little treasure... in our hands.
