Control Freak

Yes that is what I am (for the most part). I'm working on it! One of the main things I've learned in the last 8 months is that I'm not in control. I may have the illusion of being in control, but I know the One who really is in control. When we figured out that getting pregnant wasn't going to happen without a little help, I was devastated. I felt like I was broken. My body didn't work like it was supposed to. I was so scared that we would never have a child, but I had to learn to trust the One who is in control, who knows my every need, who sees my future and has plans for me. I expected the whole process to take at least a year... two months later, I got two pink lines. Excitement about being pregnant quickly dimished to a terrified state. I couldn't wrap my mind around what I was going to have to do to have this baby. All I could think was that I'm not strong enough. Guess what... I'm not. In the last 6 months, I have had to let go of my control issues and accept the fact that I'm not in control. I can't determine what is going to happen to me or David or our baby. We are in His hands and that is a good place to be.
