this is how we overcome!

for many months now, i've been so consumed by fear. fear of how my baby will turn out to be, fear of giving birth, fear on how we are going to make all ends meet with the baby's arrival, etc. with those fears that i mentioned, i think God finally woke me up and put a stop to all these fears. the gospel reading for the past days are about trusting Him, if that was not enough, He showed up in my dream last Friday night & told me to read the bible. still He gave me a pleasant surprise, kokoy & i unexpectedly saw koots & ichel & their baby, migo, in Christ the King church attending anticipated mass. they told us that they were supposed to drop by our house to lend me a book, which is Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother's Soul. i got it from them and started reading it yesterday. boy, was it really reassuring! although there is still fear in me, the book somehow opened up my mind & heart and slowly that fear is being transformed into excitement:) i know most, if not all, expectant mothers have fears not only for their baby but also on how to cope up with pregnancy. difficult i tell you... but that is our calling. now i know the true meaning of sacrifice and being solely responsible for another person. as i'm writing this now, i can feel my baby's comforting kicks & turns:)
