Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

I found out the results of my 3-hour Glucose Test today, and I PASSED!  And while I am beyond thrilled with the good news, I have to admit that I didn't hold my faith as strong this time awaiting my test results.  And honestly, I am not quite sure why.

But, I do believe in trying to learn from the lessons that God walks us through, and this small hurdle in my pregnancy has taught me a couple of things:

1) That even though I truly believe in God's plan, and have faith in His plan, sometimes as an imperfect person it may still make me scared/uncomfortable.  And, that is ok!  I am thankful that I have such wonderful friends and family around me that listened to all of my rants/tears and assured me that everything would be just fine - no matter the outcome.  In addition, it has taught me some areas in my faith that I need to work on - always a good spiritual "report card" to face a challenge, then have all of your worries erased!

2) That I should never take my good health for granted, and that it's even more important now in my life to continue to make good choices for the long haul.  Not just for a continued healthy pregnancy, but for me as well!  While having gestational diabetes would have been bad, there are so many other health situations that could have been much worse, and that I should cherish the fact that I have come this far with little complications.  My continued prayer is that I keep this "scare" with me as I go through each day and try to continue on with the adjustments I have made to my diet anyway.

3) God is GOOD.  And I am not saying that just because I got the results I prayed for.  Honestly, my prayers throughout this whole time have been to "Let go and Let God," which means I have just wanted to respect His plan and not get so worked up about things I really can't control.  Which, if you know me, you know that I am a total Type A control-freak-plan-everything-to-death kind of person, so this will be my life's lesson :)

And don't think I am not already planning out my attack on dinner tonight and DESSERT :):)
