We just started studying the book of Colossians in the women's Bible study at church and I feel like I've had one of those "Ah hah!" or lightbulb moments...or maybe it's just because I'm pregnant. Paul's letter really reminded the Colossians (and myself) that God is the Creator of all things and all things are upheld because of Him; not some things or most things, but ALL things. I love it when the Lord kind of slaps me upside the head when I think that my life is out of control or that I don't have any control over it, because...well, He's got it all figured out, planned out, and completely under control as far as HE is concerned. It's a good thing to be reminded of you know!
This pregnancy has been kind of odd I guess...not the being pregnant part, but getting used to the idea that we will have a newborn next year. I seem to almost forget some days, like the other day. We have a 4th bedroom that has been used as the school/office room, then it turned into the office we never use/just put it in there room, and now it's finally cleaned out, organized, and has a crib in it...the baby's room. Well, it has been habit to keep the door closed and I don't go in there very often, except to file something or get something from the craft stuff. So the other day I was going in there for something or other and when I opened the door and saw the crib I was almost startled..."oh yeah! there is going to be a baby in here!" was my reaction. Like being 21wks pregnant (and looking more weeks than that) wasn't enough of a reminder! HaHa!
I feel like we are so busy, we are worrying about lots of other things, and before I know it this pregnancy will be over. I almost feel like I'm missing it. So in relation to this Colossians study and being reminded of who really is in control of all the "stuff" that is going on... I hope I am able to relax a little and enjoy this special time.
