When I know who I am...

"When I know who I am, I can do anything He asks me to do"

Susan W. Tanner

Ain't that the truth?

Life has been incredibly scary lately. I mean, I'm about to have a baby and its a little terrifying for a few reasons...

1. I have to get him out of me...the pain...oh the pain..

2. I have to prove that I can take care of another human being. He is going to be completely dependent on Greg and I, can I do this? I don't worry about Greg's capability, I have a feeling Rees will love him.

And the most terrifying thing of all...

3. My heart is about to explode with love for this little man, and I haven't even officially met him yet. What happens when I see him, and realize that I never want him to be hurt or sad or afraid and then realize that I won't be there to protect him from every little thing? I am terrified to become even more vulnerable and yet I am equally excited to feel such love for my son. I'm scared I might start crying the moment I see him and just never stop.

I guess I have just felt very inadequate lately. I look at all of the amazing women out there and wonder if I am going to be anywhere near that good as a mom. But then, I read this quote. I realized that I know Heavenly Father has put his trust in me. I know that this is what I am supposed to do and what I was made to do.

And when I know my purpose, the scary things seem much more possible.
