Slowing moving into my 3rd trimester.
Feeling some new symptoms like water retention, backaches...and the anxieties seem to be returning.
Haven't been swimming cos I took so long to get my swimsuit. Thank God I managed to get one at just $26++ haha :) (after 30% discount and using $20 voucher). That was another of God's blessing.
The anxieties of childbirth, afterbirth care are beginning to surface...for a while, I think I was just suppressing them and trying to be strong. But I felt so much better after acknowledging them and getting in touch with how I am really feeling. Bringing them all to the Lord, even in tears, brings about so much comfort.
I think many a times, living in this harsh world, we easily come up with our own coping mechanisms. We hardly have time to get in touch with our true selves...and pour out our genuine fears and anxieties. We wear masks in front of others and "look ok" when deep inside, we may not be. It's important to be real and it's ok to be vulnerable.
God is our refuge and strength, our ever-present help in times of trouble.
It's truly comforting to know that we can always lean on Him, no matter how we feel. :)
