Look at me, I'm a Twirl-o-Paint
Well, here it is, Monday Morning.
I'm feeling a little like ... no, a lot like ... a twirl-o-paint.
Did you have one of those when you were a kid? We did.
You put paper in on that little rack that holds it in place, and drip different colors of paint onto it while it twirls around, and the paint spins and splatters and runs together. You don't really know what it will look like until you're done, and it can be a little messy while it's in process.
So I'm a Twirl-o-Paint of emotion today, with all the different hopes and fears and twinges and reactions swirling and splattering all around and mixing together. The twirling is making me a little dizzy and nauseous, really. And we won't know how it turns out until it's done.
I'm sure glad God is in control. With so many ups and downs and mixed emotions and fears, I wouldn't even know what to think or do. I'm glad He does.
Anyway.
My midwife is coming over at 1:30 Eastern.
I'll let you know later this afternoon how it goes.
Posted by Kim at April 16, 2007 10:51 AMI didn't have a twirl-o-paint, but I played with them at other places sometimes. I am praying for you. Praying for God to still the twirling and give you peace.

Posted by: April at April 16, 2007 11:16 AMJust popping in to let you know that I am praying! I've had my share of scary pregnancies, so I SO relate. I'll pray especially hard this afternoon for you to get some answers (and for those to be GOOD answers...like a great, strong heartbeat!)
Posted by: Leigh at April 16, 2007 11:31 AMTwirl-o-Paint = excellent analogy. After we lost a baby the next few pregnancies were difficult. I just didn't know how to quiet my mind and not drive myself crazy. I was so grateful for all the people praying for us! I will be praying for you this afternoon!!!

you remain in my prayers! I totally relate to the whirly paint analogy! God will calm the storm when He chooses to....just remember He is resting in your boat....you rest in Him.
waiting anxiously with you...your trust is in the Lord, not heart tones...so if you don't hear anything, look to Him until you KNOW from Him what is truth and what isn't.

Blessings, Dawn
You know I am praying for you dear friend. Especially now as the time approaches for the midwife to come.
Posted by: Becky at April 16, 2007 1:21 PMI didn't realize this was happening, Kim. :( Of course, being in my own little cave doesn't help me stay on top of things. I will be checking in for updates on you. Much love from me to you. (and I miss you).
Posted by: Shurleen at April 16, 2007 2:12 PMPraying for you.
Praying for you too. Glad to hear that you are back in town. Please let me know if you need anything. I'm willing to help with anything your family needs!

Posted by: Mama Mia at April 16, 2007 3:31 PMWe never had our own, but I loved twirl-o-paint at the fair. I absolutely know that feeling and live with it a lot, even when I'm not pregnant. All you can know is that God has a masterpiece in the making. Look! I spelled my name wrong just for April! :D
