In His Hands

Two days ago I had my initial pregnancy consultation with my doctor's PA. After discussing my past and current pregnancy situations with her, I was told that I am considered a "high risk pregnancy". Having had pre-eclampsia with my last baby, having previous miscarriages, having bleeding with this pregnancy, and falling into the "advanced maternal age" (over 35) category labels this pregnancy as high risk. As much as it can seem at times that the cards are stacked against this little one, I need to daily remember that God is the One who is ultimately in control. All of the risk factors I face are nothing in comparison to the Lord's great power and wisdom. He alone holds this baby and its future in His strong and capable hands. And He holds me there as well. Neither the past nor the present are greater than my God. The future is His and each day is in His hands. He is able to sustain me and this little life that is growing within me, no matter what "risks" may be present. Because His ways are always good and wise and right, I can trust Him to do what's best: for me, for my family, for this baby. Always.
