The waiting game - part one

"As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all."

Ecclesiastes 11:5

The formation of a whole human form with its complex features and functions is a miracle! The miracle of life is the amazing handiwork of an all-wise God.

Thank You for the privilege of being able to feel this wonderful development in the flesh. May I learn to stand amazed in His presence, and wait patiently for the rest of His works to unfold.

Saw the midwife (or should I say midhusband) today. Apparently she is only 1/5 engaged so it might be a while yet, though I still have this niggly feeling it is imminent. I hate surprises but this is completely out of anyone's control now, except the Lord's. If I make it to the next appointment she will be overdue, so it could well be that the next time I see a midwife it will be under very different circumstances... Will it be a day, a week or 3 weeks? God only knows.
