There is life in you

With expectation

I sit and rub my belly and feel life bouncing around.  Just six to eight weeks to go and all I can do at this moment is sit in expectation.

Of the greatness that is within me that I can not hold right now.  The greatness that is ready to spill out of me into the world and make a mark, a difference. 

“There is life in you,” simple words that I will never forget that were whispered in my ear by a God I can not see, but I know and feel.  “ There is life in you.” These words made all the difference because weeks before I felt like I had lost the life that was within me and I felt hopeless.  Those words brought me to tears and got me through the darkest time of my life.  He whispered to me, and the words that he said changed my outlook and out put. 

And now in anticipation, with child, I wait again.  For life to come out of me rather than death….but the words still remain. 

A reminder of both death and life. 

Of sadness and of hope.

The words at the time reminded me that there was still something beautiful in me.  That I still had something to offer the world and even if I didn’t feel like getting up or carrying on, there was still something bouncing around inside of me that was waiting to come out.

So, now there is a child.  A life that will leave my body and grace the world with beauty, power and strength.  There is a warrior in me that is waiting to come out and make a difference on this earth. 

As my fingers pound the keyboard it feels like the power of this life are flowing onto my screen and it makes me wonder.

There is life in you.

Not just the baby that will be born, or that you are waiting to see, but life. Ideas, passions, words, dances, art, beauty.  There is life in you that is bouncing around in every part of your body waiting to come out.

Do not let the fear of the unknown dictate what you will do.  Let the life that is within you flow out and ignite the life that is in someone else.  I struggle and am often times unsure about whether I am doing enough or whether I am enough.  It is the hope of the life within me that acts as a reassurance.  I hold on to the life and the passions that are inside me because I can feel them rumbling inside and bouncing around ready to get out. 

I want my life to spark the same in others.  I want to make a difference, because life can do that.  I want to live at my fullest potential and in that process, draw life and light out of you. 

Sit with the idea

the reality

that there is life in you

Let it soak through your mind and body.

What does this life mean to you? How can this life impact others?

The beauty of it, is like a baby, it is waiting to be birthed.  To make a mark on the world and ignite the fire and life within someone else.  So let your life and your light shine…..
