Milemarkers

Tomorrow is the big day. Well, big day #1 anyway. We'll go in at 1:15pm for our first ultrasound.

Please be praying with us as we go. Dave and I continue to declare life over this baby and my body. Of course we are still fighting the enemy's attack of fear. I suppose because the last time we went in for an ultrasound, it turned out to be devastating. But this is a new day and a new life and we are standing on the promises of God.

I really have had peace these past few weeks as I've waited. I'm learning though that is doesn't mean I won't have to fight off fear and unbelief. I look at it as training ground. When you are training for a marathon let's say (although I personally have no experience in this) you run a little bit more every day. Each day you have to press through the desire to give up. . .to not go farther then last time. If you didn't push through, you'd never finish the training. You'd never complete the race.

We've been talking a lot in our body about 2007 being a year of completion and finishing well. I had hoped that meant I'd hold a child in my arms at the end of 2007. . .that a baby would be my completion. Well I knew early in the year that completion would mean something different for me. For me, completion will mean pushing through to the next level of faith being required of me so that I can finish the race.

My sweet friend keeps reminding me that each of these doctor visits and such are milestones on our journey. We just have to get to the next one. I think I'll start calling them milemarkers. One more mile and I'm that much closer to crossing the finish line.

Thank you all for praying with us tomorrow and believing for strong life.
