Silly Mama with Lots of Specific Prayers

This whole shrinking of my brain thing continues to be affecting me. The other day at work I was walking down the hall talking to someone. As I finished up the conversation, I turned around and spread my arms open wide. My arms were comparable to if my husband had went overseas to serve in the military and I hadn't seen him for 10 months and he was finally coming home. So I turned around ready to give the biggest hug I had ever given... to my special ed teacher. Now, we hug... at times. Certainly not in the middle of the day in the middle of the hall for no reason. It was at that moment that I looked at my arms, shook my head and put my arms down. I had a shrinking of the brain moment.

On the complete opposite end of having stupid moments.. we have those quiet moments. Every night Brian and I pray for the baby. There is so much to pray for as God knits this baby in my womb. Brian has started praying for the body parts as they are being formed. This week one of the more exciting things that has formed yet is their fingers and toes. So our prayer has been that their feet and hands will following Jesus wherever He may take them. We are praying that they will serve Him to the ends of the Earth, even if it means that they live across the ocean and we see them only a few times a year. I'm learning this whole new thing throughout my pregnancy. I have this whole greater love for them to know Christ. When I sing in church I long for the day when they can hear my voice singing to the King. It brings tears to my eyes to know that they are hearing about the goodness of God even in the womb. So, how can you pray for my baby today? Pray that their hands and feet will one day serve the Lord. That they will one day sing WITH me at praising the King.

So what have I learned about pregnancy today: That people are going to thing I'm really odd by the end of this pregnancy, and that the desire for my child to KNOW the Savior is more important than the clothes they will wear or the career they end up with.
