A Child Growing Within, him and me

"For this child I prayed, and God has given me what I asked for."
Father,
You have granted me the desire of my heart. Outwardly it may seem foolish-but I know and trust you will care for us.
I'm glad it is you who is knitting this precious child within me. It's amazing how you do that!
Thank you for this gift. I am thankful despite my constant complaints of sickness.

"The person who wishes to boast should boast only of what the Lord has done."

I will boast in this: God alone took me who was sinful, ugly in my desires speech and hatred and loved me. Sent his Son to enrapture me with kindness and deep healing love. Wrapped me in utter mercy to bring me out of my despair. He washed me, purified my every act, deed and shame committed in hatred against God. He threw them far away from me-never to remember them again. You did this for me God. You gave your freedom for mine. Thank you Abba. Thank you for loving me in this way-for saving me out of the despair that wreaked havoc on my soul.
