Contractions, House Remodel, and little Grace

So, I am frustrated that I can't find my camera battery charger among many things in boxes these days. I would like to take pictures of my very pregnant belly, so I can show our little Elijah what mommy looked like. I would like to take before and afters of the new house because the new floors are coming into today and Cliff and his brother have done so many updates and worked so hard! I would like to take more and more pictures of Grace, well because she is just adorable and growing so fast. Oh, if I could only find that silly camera battery charger in one of many mystery boxes.

I am in a hotel room in Brenham, while our new floors are being put in, and Grace is peacefully sleeping in the hotel crib. My mind has a few moments to reflect, and I find myself a little unsettled, extremely grateful, excited, anxious, tired and uncomfortable. How could I be feeling this range of emotions? Most of our furniture and belongings are in our garage, we have been traveling from Marble Falls to Austin to Brenham to hotels in the midst of contractions, our poor dog still hasn't stayed in our new home, my husband has way too much going on, and Grace doesn't know what to think. But sitting here in the this moment I am actually amazed that I am calm. Maybe it is because the room is quiet or maybe it is because God has me right where he wants me. Where my daily plans are always changing, where I have no control over tomorrow, where I could birth this baby any day now, where I get to see my husband glow as he preaches the Word, where I am desperate for God's guidance with Grace, where I get to sit in AC, and where He is providing for our every need. My to do list seems to get longer every day and seldom do I get to cross anything off. I am way late on birthday, father's day, and baby shower gifts. I feel naked without being able to use my camera. I am way inconsistent with potty training...well given up on it right now. I feel hopeless as I look at boxes and projects that I can't do anything about because I am pregnant. But maybe my plans, my to dos, my agenda isn't always what is on God's heart? Why can't I remember that late at night when anxiety kicks in? Each day, I watch Him put things into place and I watch His plans prevail. He has given my body plenty of rest. He has brought family and friends to come help at the most unexpected times. He has given me such sweet and quality time with Grace. He has given me precious time in His Word. He has given me time with my husband in the midst of his busy schedule that I have cherished so deeply. Thank you Lord for taking care of me.
