I’m pregnant with a thought
I’m pregnant with a dream
I’m pregnant with a vision or two
I wait expectantly...
I have been here before
there is no turning back now
there is only one way out
giving birth, laboring...
I anticipate the known pain
I anticipate the change it’ll cause
I anticipate a new life
contractions and breathing...
I do not want to give birth to air
I do not want to labor in vain
I do not want the pain with no gain
Believing in fullness and fulfillment.

Isaiah 66:9 “ Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery? says the Lord. “ Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
I will always love the idea of pregnancy. Not just the, 'Please God I want a husband, followed by wonderful kids, a retriever and a white picket fence' kind of pregnancy, but the deep and peaceful expectation of something bigger than we could dare ask or allow ourselves to imagine.
ReplyDelete'The pregnant pause' isn't a negative statement, but a patient statement, because what is to follow is something more wonderful than we currently know. With God, all pauses are pregnant.
