Hi Sweet Mamas-to-Be,

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but I feel like I need to post it.

This is my 2nd pregnancy. I remember with my first back in 2019, I was so consumed with worry over all of our worst fears... our baby not turning out to be a sticky baby. My husband and I had tried for a year, and faced a lot of emotions when all of our friends around us during that time became pregnant and we couldn’t. So naturally, after I got the positive test and up until the second trimester, the worst fears were planted in my mind. I stressed out so much over these fears that finally, after even sharing them with my chiropractor, he told me that I needed to turn those fears over to the Lord. That I need to deafen the doubts and fears that Satan was telling me by turning to prayer and scripture.

The two verses that have really helped me are:

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10

“And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing.’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?’” Matthew 8:25-27

No, prayer and scripture are NOT an insurance policy, and they are not going to guarantee that tragedy won’t happen. But when you can cast your fears and anxieties to the Lord, there is an overwhelming sense of peace that takes care of you. And who doesn’t want that during these first few crucial weeks?

So ladies, I want you to know that you will be intensely prayed for during these next few weeks. And throughout our pregnancy. Let’s enjoy these exciting times!!

Sending love to you all!
