3:16

I woke up in the middle of the night (this happens a lot, I am now 32wks pregnant and do a lot of the middle of the night going to the bathroom) and I was so overwhelmed with grief and fear. I felt so worried about the road ahead. I am in such a season of complete BLESSINGS and am enjoying it so much (Praise God), but fear for what is to come in the future strangled me. My parents had to put both of their dogs down last Thursday night and this is the night I felt so sad. So many feelings about life and death and all of it. I prayed to God..."Lord, how will we survive it all...all that is to come?" Anyway, this is going to be a short post. But, it's impact (to me) is SO great that I wanted to remember it. I woke up, went to the bathroom, and looked at the time like I always do when I get up to pee : ) And, the time was 3:16... I knew he was giving me THE verse. The first verse I ever learned (thank you Awanas). John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." I have so much to say about my pregnancy, my baby shower, my life...but, what matters most is that verse. He gave us his one and only. Thank you Lord. You always answer when I come to you with my whole heart. Thank you.
