I remember back spasms while I played the piano for worship practice. (I didn’t think of back labor.) I was so relieved when we finished at 9 pm. I went home and sank gratefully into bed. At 11 pm I woke up.

“David, I think I wet the bed. Wait, my waters broke!”

The contractions were 3 minutes apart by the time we talked to the doctor. They checked me in a little after midnight. And at 7:33 am, our first son was born. Everything changed.

Amos 9:13, “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.’ God’s Decree. ‘Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once – and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again.’ ” The Message
