Sweet Peace.

I have a dear friend who was pregnant in 2009 with a sweet baby boy. Her son went to heaven when she was 39 weeks pregnant, a week before her due date. It was heartbreaking. The Lord drew near to her and her family, like he promises (Psalm 34:18) and her friends have been able to see God's amazing love healing her heart.

She is pregnant again. One would think that fear would paralyze her. There was nothing that she could've done differently with her first son...it was beyond her control. So, one would expect her to walk in constant worry. However, we have seen her live out this verse and seen God's promise to be true...

"The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcend all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

-Phil 4:5b-7

Thank you, Bethany, for letting us see God's peace guard your heart and mind as you meet with Him and give over your concerns and fears. It is beautiful to watch you walk through this season with joy and thanksgiving.
