…even when it is hard for me to accept! I was really praying all weekend that the baby would come. I kept talking to God telling him that I knew in my head that he has His perfect plan for the arrival of Canaan… but in my heart this weekend seemed so perfect. My primary midwife was on call and my mom was here and so many other details. It all seemed just dandy in my mind, not to mention getting onto the road of healing and having our son in our arms.
But today when we went to the midwives office, God gave me a huge and obvious reminder of the fact that he sees the big picture and I don’t!! My midwife, Mel, said to me… I am so glad you didn’t have your baby this weekend, it would have been really bad. Come to find out, most of the midwives were gone out of town this weekend and there were only two midwives left on call or available at all… And guess what… they had 5 babies born in 3 days. My poor friend and midwife didn’t sleep the whole weekend.
God knew that I would not have gotten the attention I needed for the delivery. I sure didn’t know. I love that God put me through a weekend of pleading with him to show me so gently and loving that HE KNOWS! I feel so much more at rest now, which is completely what I should have been before. Even though I have sleepless nights of pain and long days that drag on in utter exhaustion he has my best in mind!
Thank you GOD!

God does see the big picture and He is in control.
Isn’t it nice to know that you don’t have to worry about things?…..someone is looking out for you! What a great story. That’s one for the baby book….
