I’m nearly 70 years of age and I’m pregnant! Sarai and Elizabeth, make way for my miracle experience. 2025 has been quite the year and I believe the majority of us dwelling on this small planet may actually agree.

It is important to fill in the details leading up to this very momentous occasion. Where I found myself in 2020 was the Twilight Zone and all of us were terrified collectively. I confess, the unknowns were unsettling even though I had my needs met. I was not entirely alone, I was not in danger, I had food, clean water and a warm bed. It is humbling to confess I had any fears when I was under the protection of our Most High God and I live in comfort and ease.

Yet there I was, shaking in my boots. I have discovered I am a bit of a blocker. Post lockdown, I have a number of gaps when glancing back. Evidently, our subconscious minds will automatically shift into whatever gear is needed to maintain.

In 2020, one of our sons landed in treatment for drug addiction. I was aware he was in a bad place yet had no idea that it was meth. His personality was unlike anything I’d seen in him before. Not that my lack of awareness had anything to do with his choices. He made his own decisions just like I did! I was blinded by my own inability to surrender my need to  control. More accurately, to have a sense of control. A couple of months later I would be in a place of helping others make decisions and have far more control than I’d liked.

My dear friend's husband died from a massive heart attack while hunting. Two days after Christmas. Our evening went from cozy holiday plans to triage. Physical presence. Emotional support. The logistics of planning a service with physical distancing. Gathering documents. She was unable to function. She needed Gordie & I, but it changed me. The following weeks were a blur of activity and far more than I should have been doing. I had a hip replacement on October 28th, 2020, just prior to a no elective surgeries rule. I made the choice to lift and bend. Not the wisest decision, but I was in the moment.

I think this is what I’m willing to put out there today. This blog, Pregnant with Possibilities, will be continued.
