Life is a beautiful ride.
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." Proverbs 16:3
Before I knew it, it was time for my next monitoring session and James was back. As I relaxed to the sound of Asher's strong heart, I got on Etsy to look up onesies for Asher. I found some that said "Little Miracle", "Worth the Wait", Mom's Little Warrior", "Dad's Little Fighter", "Brave Little Warrior", "God's Little Miracle", and "For This Child We Prayed". They all are so neat, and I plan to order some once our little miracle arrives. It then hit me, I was indeed having a God Moment.
You may ask how are onesies a God Moment? Well of course because they remind me each day how blessed we are that God is with us and how God blessed us with Asher who is a warrior and a miracle from above. But it was the word warrior that got me.
Prior to this journey, I had Asher's nursery theme picked. I always like unique themes, so instead of looking on the store sites for a boy nursery theme bedding, I decided to search Pinterest and Etsy to see what sort of unique themes were out there. James wanted to include deer into the theme. So I searched deer nursery theme, not knowing what I would come up with. Then I saw it. I saw bedding and wall art I loved that would look good with Asher's light grey wall.
The theme was deer and arrows. The colors were navy, mint, grey, and white. I didn't understand the arrows with the deer, but there was just something about it that caught my eye. I went ahead and ordered the bedding for a lady to make and planned on ordering the wall art later. I remember my mom and sister liking the theme too, but we all were unsure the meaning behind the arrows.
Well today God made it clear to me. He guided me to that theme and let it catch my eye. I didn't know the meaning of the arrows at the time, but God did all along. He knew that Asher and I were going to journey this fight together. He knew that Asher would be a strong fighter..... a little warrior, and that he and his mommy would have prayer warriors surrounding us. He knew we would have to be brave and never give up. The arrows symbolize a warrior. God knew that Asher's nursery needed to be warrior themed. This hit me when I saw the words "Mom's Little Warrior" on the onesie as it had arrows surrounding the words. I then looked up warrior wall art, which again included words like "Be Brave Little Warrior" surrounded by arrows. I then looked up wall art with the verse Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and Courageous, the Lord God is with you wherever you go." There it was in front of me, the arrows again with the verse. I always love including this verse in my sons' rooms to add with my brother Josh's picture so they come to know him as there uncle who is a guardian angel looking over them in Heaven. God answered my "why arrows?" question today through this beautiful God Moment. It was chosen to describe who he created Asher to be, a Warrior blessed by God. Thank You God for guiding me to the perfect nursery theme, as You always guide us to Your most beautiful plans!
After I experienced that meaningful God Moment, my belly began to hurt a little. I had James look at the contraction monitor, and I had a couple contractions. I then decided to use the restroom as I felt that may have been causing them. After I went, I plugged the monitors back in and the contractions were gone. So I felt relieved. The nurse then came in, and she took the monitoring belts off as Asher again stayed strong and my contractions left. I then ate lunch. After lunch, James needed a nap due to his work schedule and I wanted to work on my cross bracelets in the recliner to get a break from my bed. So I placed my prayer sash and Rosary on my belly and Easton's deer blanket on me as I made 4 bracelets and James tried to rest on the couch. After about an hour, I began my Rosary, but then my belly began to hurt and I felt leaking. So I had James help me up and headed to the restroom. Worry entered me some as I saw pink leakage on my pad. I calmed down and reminded myself all is okay because God is right here with Asher and I. I contacted my nurse, and she then came in to check it. She agreed it had a tinge of pink to it, and told me to watch. I then finished my Rosary, while I srill had some more leakage and it was pink again. She again looked at it and said again to watch to make sure it doesn't become red or green. She said with the few contractions I had earlier it could be that they irritated my cervix and caused some very light pink bleeding. She made me feel better as she said it can happen, and she reminded me that I will have my blood work in the morning and my ultrasound. So, I will continue to keep an eye on it. Asher again stayed strong throughout his monitoring this evening. So, I then ate supper and now am typing this post.
So tonight I will continue to watch and stay calm. No matter what God is right here with Asher and I and he will keep us strong and protect us. He will continue to hold our hands and shield us with His everlasting love. Thank You God for being our greatest Warrior. You protect us each day and keep us strong and brave. You never leave our side and hold our hands. You send us beautiful God Moments that show us how Amazing You are. You guide us to Your paths for us, and create for us a life that is a beautiful ride. You are a Merciful and Miraculous God! I love You above all things! Amen.
We hold all of you in a very special place inside our hearts. Each of you are warriors as you never give up fighting for Asher. Let us join hands with the greatest Warrior God, along with Josh, and the Angels and Saints in this amazing fight for Asher. Your prayers and endless love mean so much! May God bless all of you with his beautiful love!
