Give Me Faith

   I have a song to share with you today. It is on my labor playlist to listen to during the whole labor experience. :-) Today this song just took on a whole new meaning as I left my OB appointment.

  I am 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my first child. I am positive that my baby had been head down for quite a while. (I could be wrong though). However, today it was discovered that my baby is head up. After the midwife checked I was sent over to get a sonogram which confirmed this to be true. Tomorrow I have an appointment with a doctor to discuss the option of trying to turn baby around. If that does not work the next option is that I will have to have a c-section.

 This is not a horrible option, I know. Baby is strong and healthy. Baby's heart is great. Baby is just not in the correct labor position.

  I was planning on a natural birth. I wanted to stay out of the hospital. I definitely wanted to avoid a c-section. This is still a possibility, but the options are a little scary. I could start freaking out. I could be mad at God (for not following my plans). I could be nervous about what could be to come.

  However, I choose to sit and trust in Him. I am asking Him for His faith and His strength. I am choosing to trust in His protection over baby and myself. Thus, the song "Give Me Faith" is really resonating with me today.

  I am thinking I am not the only one who needs to hear this song today. I am not the only one facing something scary. If this song is for you, may the words really reach out and comfort you in this time. Let us ask the one who holds all things in His hand to give us faith to trust in Him through the unknown. He will truly never EVER fail us!!!

Give Me Faith

Elevation Worship

I need you to soften my heart

And break me apart

I need you to open my eyes

To see that You're shaping my life

All I am, I surrender

Give me faith to trust what you say

That you're good and your love is great

I'm broken inside, I give you my life

I need you to soften my heart

And break me apart

I need you to pierce through the dark

And cleanse every part of me

All I am, I surrender

Give me faith to trust what you say

That you're good and your love is great

I'm broken inside, I give you my life

'Cause I may be weak

But Your spirit strong in me

My flesh may fail

My God you never will 

I may be weak

But Your spirit strong in me

My flesh may fail

My God you never will

Give me faith to trust what you say

That you're good and your love is great

I'm broken inside, I give you my life

Give me faith to trust what you say

That you're good and your love is great

I'm broken inside, I give you my life

'Cause I may be weak

But Your spirit strong in me

My flesh may fail

My God you never will 

I may be weak

But Your spirit strong in me

My flesh may fail

My God you never will
