Rooted - Day Fourteen

June 14, 2022
Rooted

Every pregnant momma knows -
she needs to wait the WHOLE
nine+ months for her baby to arrive…

As mommas we know it -

But those last few months and weeks
and days…
and hours…
and minutes…
sometimes feel -
like they’re going to break us.

This hospice journey has come to a point
where we have began to ask God -
IF IN HIS WISDOM and if
He should so chose -

...could He dip low
and bring Heaven home.

And God CONTINUES to remind
me...
and her…
all of us…

That babies are safer when they become -
mature and complete -
not lacking anything…
staying INSIDE of mom.

And it’s true -
a million premature babies
have been born
and lived and breathed
and had their being…

But it’s those last final weeks of gestation
that weave together the beautiful
and final touches…
of development…

Until mom and baby can safely
BE APART…

This hospice journey is developing ME.

I am becoming…
Even as she carries the suffering
I am maturing in the final and beautiful places…

And while we really don’t know
quite where we are on the
"hospice gestation period” timeline…

WE KNOW - GOD KNOWS -

and this is what holds us fast.

HOLDS US STEADY…

As tears and joy...
sorrow and grief…
beauty and joy…
are woven together as one.

We are ROOTED in Him
The Cross of Christ our guide
