I am certainly not the one to tell you that nothing is going to happen like that, because I have yet to have a birth that went as expected, that didn't have a surprise circumstance. I did hope for one experience and get another, so what I've learned is that there is no way we can imagine the birth story as it will play out, so we might as well just be as prepared as we can for the 'normal' (that would be the birth as described in every pregnancy book in the labor & delivery chapter) and deal with each circumstance as it comes and see what story God brings to us. I can't give you an answer for why anything out of the ordinary happens, but I can say that since you've thought of all those fears, they probably WON'T be thing that happens - it'll be something you hadn't thought of. Anyway, bathing your mind and the day in prayer and those scriptures is the only way to peace. The goal is trust, and you have found that out. You rightly approach your delivery in faith Christa. :)The Whalenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282241096182346667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2994356345128243704.post-18563135867270778032008-12-22T12:30:00.000-08:002008-12-22T12:30:00.000-08:00[Speaking to the Israelites about their enemies, M...[Speaking to the Israelites about their enemies, Moses said:] "Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God."<BR/> -- Deuteronomy 7:21<BR/><BR/>I know that these were tangable enemies, but that doesn't mean this verse doesn't apply to thoughts, emotions, fear...when they've become our enemies. <BR/><BR/>Hold firm.

In John 10:10<BR/>"The thief comes <B>only</B> to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly" <BR/><BR/>I quoted this verse alot when I would catch fear running wild in my head during my pregnancy. I'd reminded myself of what satan was trying to do, and speak what Jesus would do over Lincoln.Danielle Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135931140914873175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2994356345128243704.post-76543145031281333022008-12-21T22:09:00.000-08:002008-12-21T22:09:00.000-08:00Looks like I'm going to beat your sister in quotin...Looks like I'm going to beat your sister in quoting the following verse:<BR/><BR/>Isaiah 40:11 (King James Version)<BR/><BR/> He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.<BR/><BR/>---------------<BR/>I will be praying for the settling of the many swirling and unsettling thoughts to be frozen and melt away as you rest your head in His bosom.<BR/><BR/>Your Deliverer will bring your deliverance soon.<BR/>In the meantime, you've got His number.
