When Robin was pregnant with Caitlyn she began having contractions at 13 weeks!!! She would spend the rest of her pregnancy on complete bedrest to protect the precious child that God had concieved, and birthed.
As I reflect on my life one of my shortfalls is premature labor. I get so excited about what God is creating, birthing, and doing, that I want to share it with everyone! How can that be bad?
I have found out over the years that it is bad! When you get to heaven ask Joseph how it worked out for him. He was so jacked up about the dream, but he birthed it prematurely. He went running out sharing what God was going to do, and it created some pain.
There is no doubt in my mind that God is doing some truly miraculous things at, and through, Journey. There is no doubt in my mind that God desires to do some miraculous things in you. And there is no doubt that sometimes we run ahead of God and give birth to the dream prematurely.
As I run forward in life I am committing to take the time for the vision, and dreams, that God births to develop. I would rather be patient and make sure the vision is healthy, versus experiencing some kind of handicap, due to my inability to wait.

Re: Premature Labor
I had to ask the question if it was truly a coincidence that this story came right after the dont marry a mean woman post... I am just saying a pregnant woman on bedrest for 25+ weeks. This is good stuff keep it up.

Re: Premature Labor
No coincidence, but great observation on your part! I'm blessed that my wife has never been mean!
