Sensitivity Issues

Well, we are 4 weeks and 3 days into the pregnancy per the Doctors. We know they add 2 weeks to it so really Cindy is only 2 weeks and 3 days along, since the actual conception of the baby. However, signs and symptoms of the pregnancy are already abounding. She is a wonderful wife and I am a very busy husband. I pastor a small inner-city church, run a business, and spend time with her. However, most of the time I am working or helping a church family. She does get some of my time but not as much as she would like. I would love to give her more time, however, I am busy and half the time I am not even close to being caught up. This morning I read an email blog from Steve Curington, the founder of Reformers Unanimous, and he said that many times we try to do all things. The Bible does say, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). But the emphasis is through Christ. Many times we think we can do all things. But no it is through Christ that all things can be done. We say we have too much to do, but if Christ gave us the responsibilities, then if we trust Christ, we can do all things through Him. I am unable and He is able. It is Christ which provides the strength. For me to even breath today is because Christ has given me life and allowed me to live today. But it is because of Christ that I do live. So through Christ I can do all things and Christ strengthens me!

Anyhow I do need to spend more time with Cindy. I am so very thankful she is expecting and we believe the Lord is going to allow this baby to be happy and healthy. I am trusting Him for it.
