Child of God

As we were worshiping in church yesterday I was overcome with so much emotion. I became so overjoyed with the miracle that is growing inside of me. I couldn't help but wonder if our little baby could hear us worship. I am pretty sure his/her ears are not yet to the stage of being able to hear, but I still was imagining. I was just picturing our little one hearing us as we sang in worship to God. I began to tear up thinking about just how much the Lord has blessed us, and how honored we are that He has entrusted us with one of His own. It is our job to train up this this child in the way he should go, so when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6) I can't wait for the day that Wesley and I can sit down with our child and teach him/her about God's unconditional love. It is such a privilege to have a baby of our own. It is our prayer that our baby not only grows healthy and strong over the next 6 and a half months, but also that one day this baby will grow up to honor and serve God with his/her life.
I have such incredible memories of my own parents teaching me about Christ. I remember clearly when my dad was putting me to bed one night and he prayed with me to accept Christ into my heart. A few years later my dad was the one who baptized me. I pray that we will have this same opportunity with our own children.
I think this post is a little jumbled, I just wanted to try and share how I was feeling yesterday as I was singing in worship to our Creator. It is hard to put into words the feeling that came over me. Christ was tugging at my heart and I felt his arms wrap around me and let me know that this baby is His, and that he trusts Wesley and I with this child. I had to stop singing for a minute and just be still and let my tears well up in my eyes. It is so awesome, and I become more and more excited with each new day.


Love and blessings,

a dearly loved Child of God
