Quickening

If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know it can be overwhelming at times. In the beginning, you don’t have much assurance that things are going ok. It’s too early to feel movement, so you just have faith. Recently, when I was feeling a little unsure, I felt a little wiggle in my abdomen. Quickening. Baby’s way of saying, “Don’t worry mommy, I’m good.” I needed it.

I think God does the same thing for me. At times, my spirit feels empty, and a scripture will pop into my head. My favorite song on the radio. A reminder that all is well. Assurance that He is in control. God’s way of saying, “Don’t worry, daughter, I’m good.” Mommies need reassurance, too. “Taste and see that the Lord is good…” (Ps. 34:8)

    This is beautiful. I cannot imagine the feeling of knowing you have a life growing in you. Part of me longs for that.

    More than that, my soul longs for the reassurance that only comes from God’s comforting touch. That whisper that says, “My daughter, I love you”.
