Thanks Jessamyn for sharing your own childbirth story in this meditation on the story of Ishmael. I rejoice to know that God helped you overcome fear and anxiety. I went into childbirth confident, but what has brought me to my knees has been parenting through the teen and young adult years.
I needed to be brought to my knees. I was one of those awful know-it-all mothers when my kids were little. God needed to break my pride! Parenting now is hard, but God is still good and gives me strength for each new challenge.
I definitely know the feeling of being humbled and broken! It's so hard, but God uses it for good and brings good out of it! Thankfully, he doesn't leave us to our own devices.

Thank you, Miriam. I still have the teen years to look forward to!
