2ww normally stands for the dreaded 2 week wait - the time lapse between ovulation and either a positive pregnancy test or Aunt Flo's cursed arrival. This 2 week wait is different, my 2ww was a 2 week walk with Jesus. I picked a scripture to meditate on each day. That Bible is full of meaningful and inspirational messages. If you're not into it, you're definitely missing out. I highly recommend spending time daily in God's word!!! And need to be more disciplined with doing so myself, even when I'm not begging for a blessing from God.
So here is my 2 week walk, scripture by scripture....
Day #1 (Transfer Day)
"Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7
Day #2
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
Day #3
"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22
Day #4
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
*shared with me by a friend - perfectly suited for that day!
Day #5
"Again I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them." Matthew 18:19
Day #6
"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:13-14
Day #7
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Day #8
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Day #9
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
*shared with me by a friend - perfectly suited for that day!
Day #10
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
Day #11
"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will grant you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
Day #12 (Test Day)
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16
So now we're at the end of our 2ww and Praise the Lord the news thus far is positive. I hesitated as to whether or not share the news as I know what a delicate time this is, but I have been so thankful for all of the love, support and prayers that we've received from you all that it didn't seem complete without sharing the happy news with all of you who have been kind enough to share your prayers with us. So please know that we are optimistic and committed to celebrating each and every victory. We have a long ways to go, but are so happy for the gift that has been given to us at this moment. Praying that this early, early, early pregnancy will continue successfully over the next 8 months (God willing)!
Love and blessings to you all!
ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/Noun: The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. During our 3 years of "trying" to start a family I would get notices that someone we know was blessed with a pregnancy, a "happy accident" which by the way is synonymous with my all time favorite word~SERENDIPITY. Now I know that there are no Happy Accidents, rather God's hand is on each and every one of us creating amazing opportunities each and every day.
Praise God! I am so happy to hear your news. I love your 2ww. The word of God has everything we need. There is no need to look anywhere else. I continue to pray for you and your family.
