Day 11: Now That I'm a Mother

Now that I'm a mother, I am a lot of things that I was not before.  One of them being a cryer.  I have never been a cryer, but now my emotions are on overdrive.  But it's a good thing.  I feel things more deeply; I can connect with people on a deeper level than I could before.  This weekend is worship weekend at Grace Family Church, and tonight Josh and I had the privilege of praying with several people during the service.  One of them was a young lady who had just found out she was pregnant and her boyfriend split when she told him.  She was visibly shaken and admitted how scared she was about the whole situation.  As I was praying for her and thanking God for her unborn child and how he already had a plan for him, I got choked up and almost couldn't finish the prayer.  While I was praying for her child, I couldn't help but think of mine and tears of gratitude began to flow.
