“My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:15-16
Oh MAN… I have a busy, hectic and strenuous day tomorrow. In fact my WHOLE FAMILY’S world will be upset! It’s not like I haven’t been here before. I mean with 4 kids and 9 grandkids.. having kids isn’t new. But tomorrow morning my baby is going to deliver grandbaby #10!!! Now I am NOT the one who has to endure the wonders of childbirth. But honestly, I’m tired already just thinking about it!!
Listening to the cuckoo clock, by this time tomorrow night, it will have been long over! But that doesn’t mean that it just begins either! You see… this baby Grandson has been planned for an eternity! And God already has BIG plans! God’s log is about to be filled in reality!!
I have to confess that in my life I never looked forward, or thought about a day like this. I never imagined what it would be like to wait and pray and yearn to hear, “He’s HERE!” Now that it is upon me.. it’s kind of cool AGAIN! Like an actor stepping on the stage to play their part, history will begin recording this young lad’s days, weeks, hours and years. And God has seen them all already… before they even begin. HIS life WILL be… SIGNIFICANT! Just like yours and mine!
If God has baby plans.. and the Word says He does, I wonder how well I have stuck to them in MY life? Am I better or worse than what He intended. Can I fix anything? Can I change any part of my record to make it a better one than I have up until now? I confess that I am asking Him… because I really, really want to know!
Life is precious. So much so that God sent HIS Son to be born in the same exact way. But His purpose was to rescue me… for mine! So January 17 will be a special day. It will be celebrated as the beginning date of a very special person, knit in his mothers womb, but planned long before now. I can’t guarantee or promise much.. But I CAN promise this… as long as I live I am going to keep reminding him that he is NOT an accident. But a significant “on-purpose” child of Most High God! SPECIAL! Yup.. tomorrow is going to be a great day!
Thank you for joining me in praying for a wonderful BIRTH-day
