The fear of not hearing your baby’s heartbeat

But the joy of that rhythm makes your heart beat just slightly faster.

The fear of complications

The joy of the ultrasound picture

The fear of the unknown world of baby land

The joy of the growth of a bigger belly

The fear of the stillness

The joy of every little movement, kick, stretch, or flip

The fear of not being ready

The joy of knowing we will be holding our son in our arms soon.

Oh what joy of parenting even though we are not even parents has excited us for months.

Now where there is fear…the joy cannot be found or anywhere in sight.

But when there is Joy oh when there is JOY..fear escapes the mind faster than you can say delivery.

Though the fear is always around the corner with all the unknowns, unseen factors

But Joy is always there to tell us that Jesus is alive and working.
