i'm a worrier by nature, though i lived in denial for many years. these days, i don't shy away from admitting it, and find myself continually turning to the Lord and begging him for peace. as i have neared the end of this pregnancy, i have found myself overwhelmed with worries most days. and now that we have a set date, i find myself filled with anxious thoughts about the impending labor, birth and then life of our little one. but i have decided to procrastinate on worrying any more... i put off everything else when i don't want to deal with it, so why not this? and when those little worries do try to slip in, i try to remember my favorite bible verse from my younger years: "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything with prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Praying for you Sam!
God will protect you! Here is a Bible verse that we are teaching James and Maggie! I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth! Psalm 34:1...Praise Him for everything, He knows your a worrier, that is how He made you. He wants you to Praise Him through it all! You are going to be (and already are) a GREAT Godly Mama! Relish in the life He has given you!
Jamie, thank you for sharing commort to Samantha. Your words are from God. Thank you.
