Due Date

My mind spins with the thought of when I will be a mom again. I remember being pregnant with the boys and figuring out the due date. Wondering will they be early or late. Having a time line of some sort and being able to make plans. Preparing the room. Getting all the things you need. Buying clothes for the right season and guessing the size based on the due date.

We don’t have a due date. We have a hope for the future. I have no idea what it will be like. Will we have the snow falling and cold of winter? The rain and flowers of spring? The heat of summer or the fall colors as our backdrop to a beautiful moment in time? A time when we will bring our child home. We don’t have a due date to look forward to. Instead we have a time of waiting in which we choose to take courage. We know that God has called us to this adoption, so now we wait for His plan. Delight in His future. We claim faith and hope in His Lordship.

I’m Expecting… But I’ll Never Show!

I find myself doing all the things I did when I was expecting our boys. Cleaning. Preparing. Painting. Making room. I’m taking stock of the things we have and the things we need. I’m nesting. While I was pregnant with the boys I would look at my stomach and know that soon my baby would come. I would talk to them and sing songs. I remember feeling them move and kick. I dreamed of what they would look like. Of course, knowing they would be a mix of Kolby and me.

This time it’s so different for all the obvious reasons. I won’t carry our son or daughter. I won’t be able to sing to her or tell her of how she is being wonderfully made by a God who has known her before time ever began. She won’t hear my heart beat or my voice. I won’t be the one who will shelter her and keep her safe. So now I pray and I ask you to pray that God will speak to her and whisper to her all the awesome stories of His love. I pray that she hears His voice. That she would even now know His presence. That He would carry her. Protect her. Keep her safe.
