{Insight}

    This morning I woke up, had some breakfast, and headed straight to the computer to see If any of the lovely blogs I follow had updated today. Imagine my surprise when I found six new posts from the various authors. Needless to say I was excited! Our family is blessed in the fact that I am able to stay at home and not work. However in our little apartment with no little bitty yet, I run out of things to keep myself busy :] So as I'm sure you can imagine numerous blog updates to read is a heaven sent for this stir crazy soon to be mama. As I read and laughed along with some of the authors I came a crossed a post I didn't know I needed until I had read it.
     Now some of you may not know but my first youngest sister{She will be 21 this year so she's not that much younger :]} is dating the son of our church Pasture. He has a lovely older sister who is married and had their first little girl in May of this year. She is currently living in Texas so I follow her blog for tips and advise from one first time mama to another. She is such an encouragement and someone I very much look up to! Well she was one of the many updates this morning and her post was the one I needed most. She wrote about a bible study she was catching up on and OH MY! was it powerful. She shared 2 Chronicles 20, the story of Jehoshaphat. Now I'm not gonna steal her thunder so if your interested go check out her moving post! I'll just give you the jest :] The people of Judah knew they needed the Lord and turned to him in their time of need. This was the Lords battle and they recognized that.
    Imagine a huge battle, whatever it may be in your life and instead of fearing how in the world your going to take it on, you instead turn to the Lord and accept that its his battle and you need him. Deep right! This little post has helped me in so many ways on a day I think I needed it most. {Funny how we help each other when we least expect it} Now I'm a patient person, we joke that I have patience for days. :]  So the fact that my due date is tomorrow and still no baby hasn't really started to drive me nuts. However at our doctors appointment yesterday I was informed I'm still only 1cm, and this is after a weekend of what I thought were pretty painful and semi regular contractions! Talk about frustrating. Now some of you moms who have been through this I'm sure recognize the signs of a late arrival. For this patient girl not knowing when she is gonna make an appearance effects my Type A personality. So in other words I'm driving myself my husband nuts.
      But this morning after reading Paige's post I feel silly for getting so worked up. Its not my schedule, and I'm not in control. {Wait what.....you mean I'm not in the drivers seat?!?!} This is completely out of my hands no matter how much I want to meet my daughter. But that's okay, cause if I just turn to the Lord I'll find all the peace and reassurance I need. So today I let go of the control my Type A personality so desperately needs and I'm letting the Lord fight this battle, for its not mine! When the time is right He'll get things going. :]  I'm so grateful to Paige and the wonderful insight she has shared with me, even if she hasn't realized it. I hope my own insight can inspire someone else who needs it most! What is your battle, cause whatever it is it's not to big for the Lord and you just might discover it was never your battle to begin with.
