Letters to My Unborn Baby

My baby. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you. When your dad and I found out God had created you, I finally felt like my life was complete. All I could have ever hoped and dreamed for was finally coming true. Your being inside of me was a MIRACLE. God had blessed our family with wonderful YOU! You...you are gonna be great. I have a feeling you are going to do great things, but more so I have a feeling you are going to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. There has been a lot of talking between me and God about you and I want to share some of the great things He has revealed to me during this pregnancy process. There have been a few times during the last three months that have given me a slight scare....but God has reassured me, "Fear not, for God is in control." and "Be Not Afraid, Just Believe." And every time I get scared this verse from Philippians 1:6 helps calm all my nerves, "Be confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." I know this is a lot of words, but they have all helped me get through this time of growing you inside of me and praying that you are healthy and whole and not being able to see, but remembering that we live by faith and not by sight. I just so badly want you to be here in my arms so I can hold you and kiss you and keep you safe. But God is teaching me that He will keep you safe, that is His job and I need to trust Him. I hope you trust Him with your entire life, for all your life. Don't ever forget how great He is. I've been surrounded by a lot of worry lately and a great inspirational speaker named Leo Buscaglia once said, "Worry never robbed tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy." Oh how joyful I am today that you growing inside my tummy and doing somersaults and playing...keeping growing big and strong baby!  


I recently started to read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation (I hope to pass on the love of reading to you!) and as I was reading I Samuel I came across this amazing verse in the first chapter...verse 27. "I PRAYED FOR THIS CHILD, AND GOD GAVE ME WHAT I ASKED FOR. AND NOW I HAVE DEDICATED HIM TO GOD. HE'S DEDICATED TO GOD FOR LIFE." I have a feeling you might be a boy, but we shall see. As long as you are healthy and happy that is all that really matters. If your a girl I think you may like the color pink!   Well, my baby, I can't wait to see you again. We get to see you again on the ultrasound on July 22. I CAN'T WAIT! I love seeing you on that little machine. You are cute already, but I may be a little biased! I love you forever.
