Pregnant With Change

We are all pregnant with change on the inside. We don't know what that change is going to look like. We are expecting with this deep change. The more time goes on the more anticipated we become. Like an expecting mother, as nine months draws closer, they become anxious to see what this change will look like. Will they have their mother's eyes, their daddy's smile?

Being in the midst of change can be exhilerating but it also can become overwhelming. You can't wait much longer. You wish God would hurry up and bring into being the change that He's desiring to birth in and through you. What is up with the Divine Delay?

I know that deep down this is exactly where I find myself. This thought of being pregnant with change came to me while I was driving home from Fredericton of Thursday. I went to church that evening and the Man of God spoke so deep into my heart. He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but after awhile of not feeling, sensing anything going on, it's incredible to know that God hasn't forgotten about you. I left that service so charged up, energized and encouraged.

You say, "Were you discouraged?" Absolutely. I was down and out. I was frustrated. I know that God has great things instore for me and it seems as if nothing of the sort has been happening. The reason being.....I haven't been in labor yet. I am still pregnant.

Some people will take mothers to be over rough roads to see if they can start the labor process. This may or may not work. Have you been down a rough road yet? I certainly have. I'm still pregnant. Only God knows the real true timing of labor.

So I wait. Patiently (hopefully). There's one thing I know: you can't be pregnant forever. It seems as if I have been for a very long time. To expecting mothers, nine months seem like an eternity.

Labor pangs are coming. You'll deliver. You'll finally get to see what this change looks like.
