Every life begins with a journey. As tiny infants we have to make our way into the world to truly commence on this adventure. It is taken as we traverse the birth canal, or maybe enter the world via a Cesarean Section.
The wonder of our time in the womb is a continual marvel that we are privy to in some small measure with intrauterine images.
Though nothing fully prepares us for the moment of arrival as we await the birth of our infants. Each one unique and special.
That time period of 40 weeks (more or less) is a miracle of Divine knowledge, planning and foresight.
God knows the secret place where conception takes place and the child develops. He is with us even as we flex and grow away from public view or scrutiny.
For those few weeks of our lives we literally live, move and have our being in Him as well as in our mother’s womb.
I wonder what secrets we might have whispered to us by Holy Spirit’s life-giving breath?
Sadly, I can only speculate. But I am sure we are welcomed, affirmed and celebrated even before we draw breath in the world outside this maternal home.
We are on the way to becoming grandparents at the end of this year!
And I’m so excited I want to tell all.
This is part of a new series on journeying. I’ve written before about my God-sized dream journey and more aspects of life’s journey will follow in time to come.

"I wonder what secrets we might have whispered to us by Holy Spirit's life-giving breath?"
I've wondered the same and I believe it is all marvelous, coming straight from the breath of God!
Congratulations! Wonderful news! Joy, what a beautiful way to celebrate a tiny new life, and what a precious poem to put in their memory box! It's beautiful.
Congratulations on such wonderful blessed news for you and yours, Joy! How exciting – and the little one will one day have the great blessing of not only having a very lovely grandmother, but also being able to read the beautiful loving words you wrote to celebrate this precious life while still cradled in the womb!
Oh, Congratulations!!! And your words are beautiful.
