• Okay, so today it started settling in. I am going to be a mommy for the third time. HELLO??? I haven't had a child in over 4 years. I am sooooo excited.  I wanted to make mention of the fact that it's amazing how you can be going through a major change in your life and it really not affect you until you get to the end of the process and know that the reward is coming. Well, as I sat pondering about how wonderful mommy-hood is going to be with a newborn in the house, I started to get a little disappointed in myself.  Why you ask? GOOD QUESTION! Well, we all know that the Christian life is a race that we run for an amount of time that God determines is ample for who we are. We don't know when our time is going to be over and we make that heavily anticipated transition into eternity. It's almost like having a baby. Even though there is an expected "due date", ultimately we have no control over when that time is actually going to come. Do you realize that you have a "due date"? Well, the closer I get to my pregnancy due date, the more I feel the urgency to prepare for that time. I have put off a few things I want to do for the baby and even a few things I must do for the baby. This same thing has happened in my Christian walk. I have put off the things that I must do to prepare myself for the eternal life. Do you know what it takes to guarantee your name is put in the Lamb's Book of Life? Have you prepared for that transition? Now I'm not talking about life insurance and wills. I am talking about Eternal Life Ensurance and His will. (So it's a little cheesy, but you get the point.) I am starting to feel that urgency that I should have when it comes to being about God's business.
