Second Prayer

Tonight, your daddy and I talked about our excitement. We are excited about this journey we have ahead of us. We know that God will bless us with you because God has put so many signs in our paths. Tonight, your daddy shared with me that his bible study last Sunday night with Ron was on Abraham and Sarah and how they conceived a child even though they were up against the impossible. God promised them a child and we know he has promised us you. When I got home tonight, I read chapters 15-21 of Genesis so I could remind myself of this story in the Bible. "For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him (a child)." -Genesis 18:19 God promised Sarah a child and he kept his promised and delivered a child to her. "Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him." -Genesis 21: 1-2 I can't wait for our time to come for you! We both know that God is molding you in the palm of his hand at this very moment. We cannot wait to set our eyes on God's creation of you! We love you and are looking forward to the day you will be ours (hopefully soon!). We love you!

First Prayer

I am so excited to begin this journey thinking of you. I have been praying for the day that I finally accepted that I can and will be a mother to you. I have blocked this thought out for so many years because I believed that I could not become a mother. I don't know how you will come into our lives but I know I can't wait to meet you! God has put a constant yearning in my heart and mind for the last three weeks so I know the possibility of you is there. I promise that I will pray for you every day until you are in my arms and I will continue to pray for you each and every day of your life. Your daddy and I love you already and we don't even know who you are yet. We love you because you are OURS and were created by the ultimate giver, God. We know this is going to be a long, confusing, exciting, life-changing journey no matter what course God chooses to take us on but we know that it will be the best journey of our lives. I will need lots of prayers over the next few months, years, etc. or however long it will take to create you. I am reassured from God that he will answer my prayer for you. "I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him."-1 Samuel 1:27 In return, I promise to give you to the Lord and to raise you in His word. "So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord." -1 Samuel 1:28 I look forward to this journey ahead even though I have no idea where it will take us. I just cling to the promises of the Lord as promised in the Bible. We love you already!
