Anyone who has experienced pregnancy can say that there are times of pain. However, that is really not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about other people's pregnancy causing me pain. My Facebook newsfeed this morning was full of ultrasound pictures and news of doctors' appointments. I feel guilty because I want to hide all pregnancy news from my feed. I don't want to read about it. I don't want to see pictures of your child while it is still growing inside of you. I want to scream from the top of my lungs, "YOUR PREGNANCY HURTS PEOPLE! CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING PREGNANT PERHAPS YOU CAN GO 30 HOURS WITHOUT POSTING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!"
Okay, rant over... Trying to remember Isaiah 54:1-5
1 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD. 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. 4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. 5 For your Maker is your husband-- the LORD Almighty is his name-- the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
