Today I spent the day with Kim. We both registered for our little adopted blessings. Tonight as I sit here and think about you and pray for the mommy who is or will soon be carrying you in her tummy I am overwhelmed. I ache for you. I cannot wait to meet you and your birth mommy. I know she is doing a very brave and hard thing and that she loves you very much. I cannot imagine the kind of strength it takes for her to make such loving plan for you. We have been praying for you for a very long time and know that God has a very precious plan for your life. He has taught your daddy and me so much about who he is since we started planning for you. It is exciting to know that God has had your life planned out all along even though we don't even know who you are yet. You are becoming so real to us. We have your little bed set up and your little clothes hanging in the closet. We don't know yet if you are a boy or a girls so we have bins of blue clothes and bins of pink clothes just waiting to be put away. Today I washed all the diapers Papa Doug & Grammy Deni sent so they will be ready for you whenever you arrive.
Your sisters and brothers can hardly wait to meet you. They have been praying for you too-that God would keep you safe and healthy and that your birth mommy will have wisdom and know God loves her as she makes difficult decisions. We are so glad that we will get to know her and that you will too. I am listening to the hymn cd Daddy bought me for Christmas and am so grateful that we serve such an amazing God. I am excited to learn all about you. I cannot wait to see your little face and begin to get to know your personality and dream about how God will use your little life and be glorified through you. You are a miracle and we love you so much. We have worked really hard to get ready for you now we just have to wait to meet your birth mommy and trust the Lord for each day. You are so loved and so longed for.
See you soon.
Mommy
Psalm 139:13-18
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
That is lovely, your baby is intensely loved already.
