It’s time we celebrate!
Over a year ago,
Cheddars in Evansville opened and everyone talked about how “yummy” and “tasty”
it was. I love going out to eat and I
told Daniel I wanted to try it, but only as a celebration for when I
became pregnant. My plan was to eat at
Cheddars (for the first time) and then have Culver’s custard ice cream (for the
first time). Never did I think it would
be 14 months later since I made this "vow" and I would still not have
experienced Cheddars or tasted custard ice cream.
But on July 27th, 2013, Daniel and
I went to Cheddars and Culver’s for our date night to CELEBRATE! No, I am not “physically” expecting a baby at
the moment, but I am “spiritually” expecting.
God has promised me
several times through myself and through others (who do not know me or my
situation) that I would have a son. But
more importantly, He has promised all women through His word that I would not
be barren and He has healed me of all infertility issues (Exodus 23:25-26;
Psalm 113:9; Isaiah 53:5; Leviticus 26:9; Psalm 103:3). Therefore, I decided two weeks ago that
Daniel and I would celebrate this promise from God as we HOPE in Him and wait
expectantly for His word to be fulfilled
(Numbers 23:19).
We spent all day
celebrating God’s promise—we purchased paint samples for the nursery, shopped
for any cute baby items, and picked out furniture for the nursery (of course I
found the most expensive set in the store).
One thing I learned is that babies are EXPENSIVE! Daniel would just argue that I have expensive
taste ;)
Our day was perfect…Cheddars
was indeed tasty…Culver’s was not as good as Dairy Queen and I found out I need
to start saving my money NOW for the stroller, highchair, pack and play, and
furniture I picked out. haha!
I encourage you to
exercise your faith in God and begin to celebrate NOW for what it is you are
HOPING in God for. It was an awesome day because it lifted my spirits, and increased my faith. I HIGHLY recommend doing this celebration. I will be doing this again and soon. It is also a good way to lift your spirits if you are feeling "blue" because it turns your mind onto the promise and away from the negative thoughts that the devil can throw at you.
