This Child Is Not My Own…..

 

It's true. A lot of you already know, but I cannot let this awesome celebration go untold, and undocumented on my blog. I've been asked so many questions, been given so many hugs, and have been surrounded in love and shared in gratitude towards God as we celebrate this miracle of life.

Honestly, I thought that this blog would go the rest of its days without ever holding this picture.. that is for others peoples' blogs. I never thought that I would get to feel the excitement of a positive pregnancy test, that was for other couples. But most of all, I never thought that, if I ever was blessed in such a way, I would feel  that this child was not my creation, or well, mine, at all.

This child is not my own. It's not my creation. It's not my doing. It's not Dennis' accomplishment. (Although, I am so proud of him, lol) but this is of God. None other. He has opened my womb, and finally seen fit for us to be parents. This child belongs to God. He has entrusted this baby to our care, for how ever long he sees fit.

We are so excited. We are so humbled by God as well. And wonderful as it feels knowing that we have a child of our "own" we will raise it as unto the Lord.

I cannot wait to see this beautiful child. I can't wait to see Dennis in the face of this baby. I can't wait to get up and nurse. I can't wait. But then again, all I have done for three years is, well, wait….. so I can wait, and I will wait. I will watch this baby grow for the next 8 months. . . and welcome him/her home sometime mid January! :)

 

…. For this Child I prayed, and the Lord has heard my prayers…. 1 Samuel 1:27

 

God is so faithful.

 

June 2 is our first appointment. Pray for a healthy baby, and that God would complete his work in my womb.

Love You All.
