I had to be on bedrest for about 6 weeks when we were waiting for Emma to arrive. All I can say is that the Lord taught me what it means to rest in Him over those six weeks. I am so glad you noticed the little girl and took appropriate action. Oh, if we would only slow down enough to notice the needs around us. Exodus 33:13-15 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people." 14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." We all worry about you. I am praying for you and your little one, erika.

We all worry about you.

Astounding! Thanks so much for your candor and transparency, Erika. Hang in there! As for the story of the good Samaritan, I have to think that sometimes we take on the role or are called to the role of the Samaritan, but there are probably other times where we are more like the man on the side of the road, needing help. So maybe, sometimes, it's not that you are choosing to pass by from a distance - but that maybe you, too, are like the one you think you are passing: wounded, sick, injured, dying, waiting for someone to help. You are in my prayers! Let me know if I can help out in anyway. Less than 24 hours in LA and you were back in the hospital?! Astounding! Thanks so much for your candor and transparency, Erika.

You can do it...one moment at a time. Don't look at the days or weeks, but the minutes. There's a praise chorus I used to sing to the boys, "You have a maker, He formed your heart, before even time began, your life was in His hands. And He knows your name..." It gave me great peace to know that the Maker of the universe was knitting my boys together in my womb, and He knows. How far along are you? You can do what you can do, and that's all. Don't let guilt in, it does nobody any good. Erika — I prayed for you this morning. You can do it…one moment at a time. Don’t look at the days or weeks, but the minutes.

How did you do it?!?!?! I feel like they are impossible orders, but even the slightest activity I feel the impact of almost immediately... Pray for me. Robyn,

DO follow your doctor's orders for bedrest. (Easier said than done, I know.) I feel like I've spent have of my pregnant life on bedrest, but every single moment of non-activity was completely worth it as I look at my VERY active boys today.
