Ill the whole week

Down with a cold for the whole week. Because of that, I haven't been able to sleep well and that's not helping in the recovery.

Reminds me of the days during my 1st trimester, when the body temperature was somewhat weird and I caught a cold easily.

I just keep telling myself that it's the last lap of the pregnancy...PERSEVERE! Now, I hope I will be able to get more rest over the weekend and recover in due time.

Started packing the bag in preparation for delivery anytime :) Yeah! Finally got down to it.

God never fails to comfort me with the assurance of His presence. I somehow felt that the little one wasn't moving as much today as compared to the other days. Every one who's had a child would tell you that it's important to monitor the movements of the child daily. I got a little worried, partly cos I have been ill and I wondered whether that affected her in any way. (Maybe I was just being paranoid) Actually, it's not the first time that such a worry got to me.

Each time I got worried, I would pray, "Father, please cause her to move and kick so as to allay my fears". Today, the prayer was answered almost immediately...after about 10mins of saying that prayer, she started moving quite a bit, then went back to being still again. Phew...:)

It's not the first time God has answered this prayer of mine. But each time, I am just so refreshed by the assurance God gives. He cares, He listens..Every pregnant mother needs such assurances every now and then. A simple assurance that God is in control and watching over both mother and baby.

Once again, I am reminded that this life in me is completely sustained by our loving Father in heaven.

Thank You Lord.

Friend, say a little prayer to our Lord today, and experience His assuring presence. :)
