Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Someone posted this quote as their status on Facebook this past week, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Another person I follow via facebook and her blog posted this in regards to things happening in her own life, and I have to agree with this statement too:

You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand. John 13:7

There are so very many things we’re doing in the next month. Exactly one month from today, Chad will have been at his new job for two days. Before that even happens, I have two doctors appointments, a 4 day trip to Cincinnati to house hunt, Chad is getting a new car, I’m having a baby shower, we have to go to Athens to meet the movers twice and, on top of that, neither of us is working right now which means things are a little tighter budget-wise than we’d like.

I’m a worrier by nature, and all of these things are stressing me out. Coupled with horrible hormones, I’ve been to the point of tears so often… and then I read this. Every time I start to worry, I try to think of this now and start praying. Sometimes it just feels amazing that God knows what words to put into my life, that God knows the blessings I have better than I do, and that I need to recognize it more. I’m thankful that Chad and I have each other and even though we may not  be living there right now, we have a great house, many things we’ve been blessed with. We have a daughter who we are so thrilled to meet, who hasn’t had any problems during the beginning of her journey. While I am still worried about BP (and honestly, rightfully so – it’s a dangerous thing if it stays too high!), I’ve already been blessed with so much and I know God will carry me through this. The budget complications and the tight schedule are just his reminder that even though life is fraught with obstacles sometimes, there is so much to still be thankful for and he will guide us through.

Sorry if I got preachy here, I’ve just definitely been feeling the pressures of not only moving to a new state, but being a very hormonal pregnant woman. :)
