Life has been hectic. I am sure I don’t have to tell you of these times. Moments that seem like days are on speed as they pass by yet not enough is getting done. I have been neglectful of not only taking time for this blog that often is my soul anchor, but also in savoring a moment. Every time I return to this place it reminds to do 2 things that as a human I often forget in daily life: slow down, and praise God. And so in the moment of chaos I am sitting to write all of you.
I love when things seem coincidental when really they are really God intended teachings. I just put my daughter down to sleep, and with an hour or so of reprieve, I thought about watching meaningless tv and eating ice cream sounded like a great way to regroup. I turn the tv on and what is on? Wayne Dyer on Wishes Fulfilled. As always, his words spoke to me, and just when I thought “change the channel go for the less thought tv”, I was drawn in more. I love how he has progressed from early on self-help writer/speaker, to deeply thought out spiritual teachings using the bible to reflect on his teachings minus a religious sector to define it.
This led me to thinking why is today any different then yesterday? What have I done differently, and how have I made time for God? The truth is being pregnant is the perfect reminder to praise God.
My joke post baby #1 has always been “the miracle is lost” let’s get this baby out! Let’s face it pregnancy is not fun, comfortable, or new when it is not your first. Although it is hard to doubt the “miracle” when you think about the fact the movement inside ones swelling belly is in fact just that–a miracle! How could anyone deny God’s existence when feeling a life inside you? So although I am looking for the ending to the miracle of pregnancy, and the start of the miracle of new life, I can’t help but stop myself each time the baby tumbles or hiccups and praise Him. This God intended life is growing inside my body, and for that, no matter how chaotic life seems, I can doing nothing more than be thankful and still (even 3rd time around) be in awe.
In my moment of unpacking and packing boxes while moving around our house making room for baby, I hope to always remember to take the time to nurture the most important relationship to me even if for a moment. My wish is to live each day with great intention, but the truth is we are all human and at fault of this.
Grab ahold of your day and ask yourself how today will be different then the next. What is it about today that has nurtured your existence with God? How can you live life with better intention? There is no solid answer for everyone to these questions, they are individualized and sacred. It is your job to find your own answer.
May you find your “miracle” in life as easy as a moving life inside you.
