answered prayer

LORD
i just wanted the world to know about your goodness, your faithfulness. I've already whispered it to you in the quiet of my room, and on the phone with myles, but now I feel like screaming to the world that my God lives and rewards those who wait on him. Not because I deserved it, not becauseI'm worthy, but just because you are who you say you are.

My life is in your hands and your timing is always perfect compared to mine. I can't believe in December I will be holding a baby in my arms.

You made everything ready, planned my days so that this year, when my marriage was full of your truth and light, my husband saved, my niece born in Feb, you could say 'NOW IS THE HOUR, tell my daughter she's having a baby'

If you had left it to me LORD I would have been pregnant 5 years ago. Or when I had my entopic I would have wanted you to save my child. But you knew I would have to go to Dad and stay in hospital with him for a month. I wouldn't have been able to travel if that baby was saved, the timing was all wrong. Yet you saved my ovary and filled me with hope that one day I would be pregnant.

Today is that day. I'm excited and scared and worried all wrapped up in one.

I give you all the glory LORD, you are my God, and there is no other like you. What do i know about my life, compared to all that you know?? You prove this to me time and time again. I belong to you LORD. You are better at taking care of me than I am.

I am in awe of your goodness. This life growing in me belongs to you LORD. To carry your light into the next generation. Help us to be awesome examples of you and your love. Help me to be the most loving most wise mum this child could ever have.

I might be having more than one child. I have no idea. Whatever you think is best LORD. I'm just happy that at last I will know what it means to be a mum.

I have two more requests LORD. Can this baby be born on my Dad's birthday - 5 December, it's due date is 7 Dec. Can i please have a permanent angel body guard to protect me over the next 9 months OR be more filled with your Holy spirit in me so that my baby is protected from the inside and talking to you already.

Thanks for putting up with me. For listening to me and remembering me.

in Jesus' name, my beloved Saviour and Lord. amen
