Praise the Lord for He is good! (21 November 2006)

i was almost getting impatient from the waiting and frequent questioning from friends and families about when my baby's arriving...
it got to a point where i'm thinking if i should ask for induction.. could this be a better way out? so that i could appease everyone.
then it daunted upon me "who am i serving?" Man or Christ?

i recalled reading Ecclesiastes about Everything Has Its Time. I picked up the Holy Bible and read it once again.
To my amazement, aftering reading just the first line, the scales fell off my eyes.. I decide to submit the entire pregnancy to the Lord (once again). I know that He has it all planned and baby will arrive at a right time.

After going for my 41st wk gynae chkup today, I caught a glimpse of the goodness of Him.
There used to be a loose ring of cord round Rachel's neck and today when the doc did the ultrasound scan. It seemed to have disappeared. To me, this has gotta be the work of the Lord. Although it was not really much of an issue (as the doc assured me that 15% of the babies experienced this loose ring of cord round their necks) but I believe that Christ always put out fear in our hearts, no matter how tiny it may seemed. I really thank the Lord for what He has done for me and I look to Him once again.

Be still and know that I am Lord.

Ecclesiastes 3
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
