So If I Just Have to Bear Just a Lil While Longer

Last Thursday I was blessed to attend The Baptist Worship Center's 1st Women's Conference and I have to say I left feeling different and it confirmed something I had been keeping for a minute now...Things don't look the way I planned it out 5 years ago but I can STILL see it!
We focused on Mary and Elizabeth at the beginning and I read it over for myself and found when a woman becomes pregnant, the minute the sperm meets the egg she has no clue. She's been impregnated with a thing but has no idea although she always knew that she was capable of having a child, she had no clue that a seed had been planted. I remember when my godson's mom was pregnant she got sick and called it food poisioning until she realized that she AND her family ate the same thing but only she was going through HELL. When she finally thought it through and took a home pregnancy test TWICE her suspicions were confirmed she was getting ready to become a mother. See although women rely on tests and doctor visits, something inside is telling her "something's going on" anyway.
During the first few months of her pregnancy she's excited and buys everything she thinks the baby will need but around the 5 or 6th month something happens, this bundle of joy is now a huge bulge in her waistline. She now notices her face has gotten fuller, her jeans look foreign to her, she has heartburn and her back is killing her because of this heavy load she's carrying. She starts thinking, maybe I don't wanna do this, or 'If it's killing me like this now, imagine when it gets here' and the most hurtful of them all is 'I can't even see my feet'. This that was supposed to bring me so much joy has now blocked my vision, I can't even see my feet or where I'm going.
Just like most with their purpose, you know you're capable of birthing a great thing into this world and the thought of it excites you but the minute you feel the pressures of pregnancy and labor you want to quit, all of a sudden you don't want it anymore. It's a scary thing because you can't even see your way, you've never felt this pain before and you have no clue what's happening to you. But ask anyone who's ever done it before, they'll tell you...once you've entertained the pregnancy of a thing after a certain amount of time you cannot abort it and it would be easier to just go on through it...get your breathing together and get ready to push that thing out. That thing, that life, that ministry has to come out and if you leave it inside too long without proper oxygen supply it will die and in most instances it'll kill you too.
So just bear the back aches just a lil while longer, the morning sickness will become rutine soon, the feet swelling will give u reason to just buy new shoes but no matter what you gotta go through it and bear it just a lil while longer and in the end of all those trimesters...

It'll all be worth it!!! Be encouraged :-)
