Cat's Outta the Bag

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can finally tell you all how I've been the past couple of months! People keep asking me, "Were you sick? Is that why you took a pregnancy test?" Nope. I always took one around the time of my period. This time, I wasn't even expecting it to be positive. My period was only a day late, and ladies know that isn't uncommon. So I took the test and almost threw it away, until I noticed a very faint second purple line. I thought I was seeing things so I sent a picture to my three friends who have both had babies. I wasn't seeing things. It was there. I said, "Oh sh**." I surprised Troyce with two positive tests on his lunch break that day. He didn't know what to say. It took a minute for it to really sink in. I haven't really had much morning sickness, meaning I don't vomit. I feel mostly okay except for at night. Sometimes I can hardly eat anything. Sometimes I feel like there's a huge knot in my stoma...

Hope

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain." Hebrews 6:19 "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1 The one is a two for one. The Hebrews verse reminds us that God is faithfully unchanging and that He is the reason for comfort. The Psalm verse is perfect to read when you are afraid or feel fear. When you feel anxiety and worry, remember God's providence. What do these two verses have in common? Hope. Turning away brings tears. When this happens, look up at God. He is our hope. God is the light of the world. Be reminded of Life's beginning. Hope includes the confidence of the future. Hope = it will. Faith = it is. The world doesn't offer us enough hope. There is too much darkness. Proclaim hope to a dark world and a dark soul. Have hope, and give hope.
