A Letter

To my future child,

Boy have we been waiting a long time for you.  Seems like it's been taking forever for you to come into our lives, but I know that whenever you come, it will feel like no time at all.

I've been praying for you for years.  I've prayed for you to finally become a part of our family.  I've prayed for who you will become.  I've prayed for your father and I, that we'll some how be able to be good parents, in spite of our short comings.  I've prayed that you will know what love really looks like.  I've prayed that you will be protected, while you're not with me.  I've prayed that you will come to know Jesus and love Him.  I've prayed a great deal for you my little one.

We are so ready to love you.  Whether you're biological or adopted, you will be our child.  You will be our son or daughter, and no one will love you as much as your father and I will. 

It's been so hard to wait for you my little one.  Even as I write this, I have no idea when you'll finally be mine, and it's so difficult to be patient.  But as Jesus says in His word, He will work to the good of those who love Him, and I'm doing everything I can to cling to that truth.  You will be a part of our family someday and you will be cherished and loved.

I hope you come soon.  I long to hold you in my arms, to kiss away an injury, to tell you every day that I love you, to be exasperated with you when you don't obey your mom, to hear you call me "mom" or your father "dad", to hear you laugh, to see your interests, to watch you learn, to see you come to know Jesus, and so much more.  I pray that God will bring you soon.

I love you. :)
