Every morning, almost every, I wake up at 4 am and pray for my child. I pray for her health and strength. I pray for my health and strength. I pray against Satan and any anxiety or fear that all these hormonal changes may cause and most of all, I pray the blood of Jesus over this child from conception through pregnancy to delivery and beyond.
Jesus is a way maker, a deliverer, and a father. I continually try and cast all of my cares upon the Lord because I know he cares for me. Being a mother, to a child in your belly means you pray all day, at least I do. I pray because as I have said to Hubbin from the very first moment you know you are pregnant you feel a deep responsibility to your child. Your whole person is uniquely attuned to the fact that there is a child you have to care for in your womb and that it is not just staying healthy and feeding the child. No caring for Amayah for me is praying for her, rubbing my belly telling her I love her...believing God for her. It is acts of love on a consistent basis because who I am is tied up so intrinsically into this family, into being a wife, into being Alayna and Amayah's and eventually Elijah's mama that I pray for them all day long.
The Lord heard my cries, there were many, and delivered me and He will see this pregnancy through to completion. I believe God for this healthy happy baby.
I feel as though my gift is prayer. Intercessory prayer to be specific. As most Christians know prayer changes things, Satan wants to keep you disconnected from God, and indulging in sin and all manner of busyness so that you forget. Forget that the Father cares for you, and you can come to him in prayer. You can bend your head in the car and pray for your family member, for your marriage for your unborn child. You can pray to the Holy Spirit. God hears all of your cries...Eventually when i publish some of this blog, I hope this entry will find the person who needed to hear this small message in a message. Praise God.
I am eating ok. This weekend was not the best but we were coming off of the exam weekend last weekend and i was tired. I am going grocery shopping today- so I can get us back into consistent home made meals, that are not loaded with bad stuff.
Exercise, I did find a set of four dvd's that are specifically made for pregnancy so that I can exercise Hubbin is going to go and get them from the library. that was important to me because I have only been able to walk on the weekends, because by the time I get home it is dark. But i will not let go of my workout regimine. My blood pressure is excellent 111/75...
I want to keep it that way and I will.
Praise God today.
Battle Cry"
Be yeah anxious for nothing but in all things through prayer and supplication make your request known to God and the peace of God which trandscends all understanding will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus.
Second scripture Ephesians 6:14-18
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
