Let's get acquainted...



Hello you! Yes, you, my little one,
five weeks old, a sesame seed in the sun,
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone,
a good and perfect gift, yet unknown.
You are a mystery, God-grown
defeater of fertility cycles and
dire prognosis from a doctor's hand.
A word made flesh, you must be;
for what else could explain you to me?
When a Word was sent of an open womb,
behold, you rose from a present tomb
of fear
and failure
and all once held dear.
The Hand that is fashioning you is strong
beyond compare and never ever wrong.
It inscribes your days in a precious book
into which I wish I could someday look
and perhaps find the answer to the mystery
Of what my life is meant to be.

Welcome, my beloved.

Three years ago, the Lord blessed us with a lovely daughter Joy. She came at the end of a season of weeping. To be accurate, the weeping did continue for a bit after her birth as well. But true to her name, weeping may last for the night, but joy did come in the morning. She has changed our lives.... But  I regret many things about the journey from her conception to her birth.... This time around, I hope to praise the Lord of second chances... and third and fourth....and perhaps seventy times seven and beyond.

I am a terrible procrastinator and the list of things which I have completed in my life is admittedly small... yet I hope that someone going through a similar journey with me might find some companionship on the way here. To that end, dear friend, I hope I keep at this blog.

I just learnt I was pregnant six hours ago. But here I am.... I don't know what is a good beginning, if that one is not?
