So this week had an unexpected turn. Amidst being 7 1/2 months pregnant, rearranging furniture getting ready for baby, adjusting to gestational diabetes, and keeping up with our normal daily lives, Judah got sick.
On Tuesday, he started vomiting right after his nap at 4:30pm. By the next morning at 10:30am, he had vomited over 16 times, including all the water he drank. We went to the pediatrician only to go directly to the Emergency Room for some IV fluids. The next thing we know we were spending the night in the hospital for our sick boy.
How quickly life can change. One moment everything seems fine as you live out your daily lives with its plans and the next moment you realize you were taking for granted things that ultimately matter like health, sleep, and family. Suddenly, those daily stresses seem unimportant.
Will needless to say this has gotten me into a nervous mood as we near baby's arrival. Why? Because it is just one more added stress to our already full lives of getting through the next few months. We have so much yet to do and I do not feel ready at all.
I was reminded though at church this morning that God can see the complete journey. While we live in the moment, there is no reason to worry about tomorrow because He knows what is to come and has it under control no matter the outcome. All we need to do is turn over that worry and trust in Him. A good reminder. And one I still need even after Him trying to get my attention this week.
My favorite verse has always been Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord and he will make your paths straight."
