but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
For those reading this that consider themselves "outside the faith", this may be one of those pieces of scripture that bothers you like it used to bother me. "I don't need to fear God! If God is love and he loves us so much, why would I fear Him?" My bride fears the Lord - she holds a reverent awe for her almighty, powerful Heavenly Father, who created everything from nothing, told the oceans "that's as far as you go", spoke earthquakes, torrents, hurricanes, and butterflies, mitochondrion, and the precision of the human eyeball into being. Yeah, that's my Daddy. I'm not scared of that kind of god, but I have a reverent awe. How about you?
So, she'd buried in the word when I get up this morning, which always makes me feel like DANG, I need to get in the word. So, I'm got into today's proverb, but the truth my wife needs to hear right now is this:
"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Is. 41.10)"
Earlier, I thought I heard the words "3 cm" but that was not accurate. Actually only two, but the contractions are BIG mamma-jamma's and Cristine is holding her own... alright, she's holding her bible, and begging for the epidural. But, the epi-nurse is here, so I gotta go and hold my wife's hand.
in Christ,

Yay for the epidural; pitocin contractions are the worst!! I bet that once she is free from pain, that she'll relax and start dilating much quicker. Thanks for updating so faithfully; patiently awaiting your next update :) My prayers are coming your way . . .
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!
