Intro letter to my child

To my child,

This is perhaps the greatest responsibility I have taken from God--to become your mom. I recognize that you are a life, a human being about to be introduced into the world, and mind you, it's not a very perfect world.

Right now, you are just inside my tummy. I worry about you sometimes, whether you'll be healthy, or will have physical defects/deformities, or worse. But, I remember what a scripture says about forming babies,

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well...All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:13-16.

Yes, my baby, God is forming you in my womb right now--with His own hands. While doing that, He is keeping your purpose in mind. You see...you have a purpose and I pray everyday that God will make you a light to your generation--a beaming lighthouse in the, sad to say, dark world.

What a great responsibility for both of us, huh? It is also with fear and trembling that I accept motherhood from God. How do I raise you up? How do I make sure that once you are born, your path to eternal life is straight? How do I raise up a child that will be a legacy of faith, love, hope, godliness in his generation?

My child, it sure is challenging task, but God, our God, the only One, and the Master of the Universe, our very own Father, will guide us: your dad, myself, and you, and your siblings (Alyssa and those to come). We need only to trust in Him and to keep on hoping in Him.

I love you!

Love,
Mommy
