The Little Things Matter

Vivian here again... this morning before 8:00 even rolled around I was reminded of how God cares about the little details in our lives that might not seem like much.
My sister-in-law was also pregnant and due the same day as we are... this weekend. However, she was progressing through things but not in active labor - she was progressing so much the doctors wanted to induce her today (Thursday). Being that she was induced with their first and that there are some potential kidney issues with this baby she didn't like the idea of being induced and wanted to go naturally. This morning she had little Jeremiah... how cool is that! While I'm sure she would have been fine to be induced, her desire was to do things naturally and that is what she got... I am going to start praying for a pain free delivery - hahahahaha! Until next time...

Miracles or Luck?

This is Vivian again... more ramblings from a now 9 months pregnant woman at home waiting for the arrival of our little boy. Through this pregnancy I can't help but think of what a miracle the development of a child is. We recently watched National Geographics "In the Womb" which I highly advise (not for small children) and sat back in complete awe of the details Jesus creates us in. How can someone say we are here by chance? This theory I'll never understand... although I'd love to chat with someone about it to here their side. It is just amazing and beautiful the design of the human body.
This was made even more real to me this past week. I found out that a wonderful friend of mine from TN delivered their son. No big deal right, happens every day... Jakob wasn't due until October though. Born at just 28 weeks, one pound and one ounce, he's hanging on. He is now three days old and breathing 80% on his own. Again... are they just "lucky?" I like to think it is about more than just luck. Where is the peace in that? Although times like these are scary and very unpredictable, I like to believe that we have an amazing Father looking out for us and watching over us - and our little born or unborn babies. I think I'd go crazy in this life without my assurance of Jesus... even though I have a ton of questions... He's a constant when nothing else in this life is. And a constant that doesn't mind our questions.
I like miracles, luck gives me nothing...
