I know well that this friend he met with is quite intense. Good stuff to think about, especially in preparing for motherhood. I have been humbled beyond belief since being here, realizing how much I've made an idol out of "being missional," while forgetting the ultimate goal from which all things flow - being with Jesus. I think there are seasons of things, and right now, your season is the dawn of motherhood. I know it's easy to get caught up in the whole learning-to-be-a-mother thing, and then feeling guilty about doing that. I say don't feel guilty right now. You're doing your God-given instinct of being a mom. It will blow you out of the water how much that little girl will mean to you the moment you lay eyes on her. It's okay to just be with Jesus, and to let your motherhood, and I suppose your missionality, flow out of that. I realize you know all this and that you agree. I just feel it's very easy for us, especially when we meet with people like our friend that your hubby met with, to get caught up in something, and to forget to abide in Jesus and hear what He has to say about that specific thing in my own life. It might look different than what it looks like in our friend's life. At least that's the way it is with me... Interesting. I know well that this friend he met with is quite intense.
