Lent Day 34: Carry On

Week 30. Reaching week 30 in pregnancy makes it feel like you are almost there. Only 10 more weeks, this is going to fly by. But, really 10 more weeks is a long time still. And... and.... it's an uncomfortable 10 weeks. Braxton-hicks, my old friends, are nice and strong. Bouts of itchy rash. And this time all with the joys of a toddler climbing on me and having tantrums (which are getting increasingly harder to pick him up from).

Other than being officially "big" pregnant. Life is full. Full of decisions. Full of things to do. Full of people to love. Full. I am full. Sometimes, too full, overwhelmed by all that fills my life. I've written about these things already -- the beauty of having fullness, the strength that God brings to carry us when we are overwhelmed, the pregnancy of Lent and the long days stretching out to Holy Week, finding peace in the midst of chaos. All applicable again today. But no new revelation that inspires me....

Perhaps that is it. Perhaps this is the part of faith, that is just about walking another day. Taking another step and staying the course. I guess that's my spiritual revelation...some days we just gotta keep plowing and know that we're on the path.
