Sign of Life

It's pretty amazing how the sign of life can be detected thru this small tool called pregnancy test kit. I was feeling something peculiar one day so I thought of confirming my insinuation by having a pregnancy test. I did not wait for the morning to come, I was just excited to discover the result so I did it immediately after I arrive from work. I closed my eyes and silently pray that whatever the result will be, I will gladly accept it. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and I was extremely happy to learn that the result is positive. Yes, I'm pregnant! :) The Lord has just answered our prayer in his perfect time. To make sure that my initial finding was real, I made another test. So, it's really confirmed, there's life inside me!

More than the excitement, pregnancy is where motherhood begins. It's all about sacrifice and being selfless. For a working person like me, it's a time to slow down and think about nothing but safety and welfare of the life growing inside my tummy. At first, I was fearful about pregnancy because of the changes that will happen with my body and the horrible stories I hear when giving birth. When I firrst became pregnant, I had miscarriage. I guess that's the Lord's way of tellng and preparing me for this second pregnancy. This time around, I'm enjoying it and I welcome this life-changing experience with open arms and a big grin. After all, God has designed a woman's body to carry a child and He has gifted a woman to endure the pains of childbirth. With that thought to bear in my mind, I know I will make it up to nine months.
