I worry. I know this about myself.
But for some reason, today I am calm. Really, really calm. Some twisted part of me fears that I am too calm. Shouldn't I be worried? Shouldn't I be a wreck? I mean, two days is not a long time. What am I forgetting that I need to worry about?
I hope it God's peace protecting me right now because I can't explain it.
Tomorrow may be a different story, but I am thankful for the quiet of today.

I am glad you feel calm today. I felt calm too, just before Austin. I think it's experience...you know what to expect, and you are ready! I also think it is God's peace that surrounds you during this precious time. Love you friend!
Sounds like the sweet peace of God to me... and I'm thankful it's found you! Getting excited with you and praying for you!
So glad you've got some peace today!
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 transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
It is definitely God's peace. And I am so glad He is with you. Just thank Him for giving you this gift of calm before the surpassing joy of Wing man's birth. God's got this!
You are a pro at motherhood, Janelle. Giving birth, staying in the hospital, feeding your baby, healing are all things you have done twice before. You have done them well and there is no need to worry about this third time.
These are the days you have been praying for for so many years...don't you think Gods' gonna show up?
You and me, sister, we're kindred spirits. I'm such a worrier too!! I'm so glad that you are feeling peaceful today. I will pray that it continues! Do you know, that your precious Lil' Poppy will be born exactly one month from Ruthie's one year birthday? I like to think that it makes us even more special bloggy friends!! :) I'll be praying for you as we are in the air flying your way!! :)
This chorus came to mind when reading your blog today on the peace you feel. May God's peace continue to flood your soul.
"Peace, peace, wonderful peace. Coming down from the Father above. Sweep over my spirit and...I pray. In fabulous billows of love."
Yes, sometimes His love sweeps over us and gives us amazing peace when we least expect it. Enjoy your day!
God's peace is awesome. You know in the Bible it says peace that passes all understanding. So don't worry, you aren't supposed to understand it just enjoy it. God loves you and Wing Man.
Been thinking of you, Janelle.
