Thoughts

A very sweet friend has offered to make the most amazing gift for me.  She will be taking belly pictures of me throughout the pregnancy and then putting them together in a sort of timeline.  She has asked me to send her some of my thoughts that she may use for the gift.  Here is what I sent her after my first picture was taken.

1. One of my favorite verses that I held onto throughout my time of infertility:  Psalm 113:9  
2. God has a plan for this child as his/her very existence is a miracle that has grown the faith of so many even before his/her birth.
3. There is no other way to parent than to trust the God of the universe to care for your child, even from the womb.
4. Nothing can make you fear more than the thought of harm coming to your child, even in the womb.
5. I had a beautiful dream of bathing and nursing our new little bundle.  I love him/her already.
6. It is such a privilege to experience the miracle of life developing inside your body.  Only God can do that.
7. It's easier for me to believe in a God I can't see with my eyes than it is to believe this baby that I can't see is actually there.
