The last few weeks I have been struggling with the fact that I'm pregnant and how it will all pan out. I wonder what on earth God has in mind for us and how we will get through it. I'm concerned and anxious... I'm a bit upset with God. It seemed so random, to just fall pregnant... why now? Why not four years ago when I really really wanted it to happen??
Then on the weekend I hear that someone who was once very dear to me and who I've known all my life, has breast cancer. She is the same age as me, we used to do everything together, we even got married on the same day at the same time. How weird, how ironic.... one of us has new life and one of us faces the fight for life.
How can I be so shallow as to ask God why? Is He not sovereign? Have I not committed my life into His care and keeping? Why would I want to take it back and say I can do it better?
Isaiah 29:16
How foolish can you be?
He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay!
Should the created thing say of the one who made it,
“He didn’t make me”?
Does a jar ever say,
“The potter who made me is stupid”?
I seriously need to "get over myself" and get on with it!
