God, I am so excited for the amazing miracle of life you have put inside me. I thank you for your protection. I thank you for your will. I thank you for your love. I thank you for your amazing grace.
I am so eager to meet this little one in me. I am eager to teach him about life, love, faith. I do feel a little scared that I won't be a good enough teacher, a good enough mother. When I was a teenager I really thought by the time I was a mother I would probably know every bible verse in the whole book. And I assumed that I would have a great spiritual answer and insight to any question my child had. Well, I'm sure I can learn some in the remaining 7 months, but honestly, I'm not going to know it all....ever. (That is hard for me to admit though :)) That's when I get this thought in my head, grace.
Grace. Grace is one of the most amazing things God gave us. Ryan and I have really been reading and learning about God's grace this past year. If you ever get the chance to read or watch Joseph Prince you must. He is a pastor that is out of Singapore. He has such an amazing way of speaking. He is so biblical and so knowledgeable of the word. It is so freeing, and refreshing to hear that God's Grace is all we need. We can't ever be be perfect, we are all sinners, and we all fall short, there will never be enough actions or works that I can do, but that's why Jesus gave his life for us. I'm thankful this week for God's Amazing Grace. And I'm thankful that we will be covered in it when we raise this child!
