Day 4:Devozine 31 Day Instagram Challenge: Soaking

Day 4 of the Devozine 31 Day Instagram Challenge is: SOAKING. I have struggled with this one all day.  I settled on the following picture after trying to take one of my feet in the bathtub, but couldn't stand the sight of my swollen feet, LOL!! I am 26 weeks and 4 days along in my pregnancy and starting last week my hands and feet have started swelling, just one of the many joys of pregnancy.  To help relieve the swelling in my feet I either elevate them or soak them.  The other day to relieve back pain I soaked in the tub for a half hour.  To cool off in this summer heat I have enjoyed soaking in my pool.  Spiritually I am soaking in the miracle God has given me to experience the joy of being pregnant both for the miracle that is growing inside of me and the side effects like fatigue and swollen feet, ankles, and hands.  I am amazed by every movement my baby makes even if it is discomforting at times.  It is truly special to be able to see my stomach grow as my baby does and love my baby so much without even being able to see it in person yet and be reminded that God's love is just as strong even though I am not able to physically see him.  I know he is there though the prayers he answers, the beauty in nature all around me on earth, and from the Words of his scriptures I study in the Bible.  Everyday I take time for God I am soaking up his love and knowledge to live a better life.
