My dear A.
Tomorrow we will wake up to one more sleep until we go back to Chicago. We are both so very excited. But before we go on our next adventure, mommy just wanted to take a moment to tell you how very proud I am of you... how you are such a joy in my life...
When daddy and I started to think about having kids, we thought that we would wait... wait a while before having kids. But God had other plans. We were so very excited to have you enter into our lives. You were truly a blessing from the Lord.
As you grew, we could see that you were truly a child with a joyful heart. You have a gentle spirit and we could definitely see God working in and through you since you were very young, when you kicked your legs in praising God while listening to Psalty, when you clapped your hands at church to praise God, when you would share your cookies with others during church... even though you were so young. You care so much and I know that it's because God has uniquely created you in that way.
You and I have been through a lot these past 2 years and 4 months and I praise God that when daddy and I decided to let God control when we were going to have kids, we got you right away. You have made me smile and laugh so much these past so many months. Some days I survived only because of you. You have been so patient and loving with me on hard days... hugging me when I cried and sitting on my lap looking at me worried. You are truly a gift from the LORD.
I really think the Lord has some tremendous plans for you and I just pray that you will grow in obedience to what He has for you.
Thanks honey for trusting me on this journey. Thanks for putting your faith in Christ at such a young age and trusting God. Thanks for your hugs, your pats on the back, your kisses and your encouraging words. Thanks for daily telling me so many times that you love me and how much. "I love you up to Jesus' head, daddy's head, 259 rainbows and 20 10 trees."
I love you from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to see what the Lord has for the both of us next. Let's keep trusting God and obey, no matter how hard it is for us because as we have seen, He's provided and we are filled with joy.
I love you...
Love,
Mommy
