As I patiently wait your grand arrival into our lives I can't help but to think over the past year and 9 months. I am reminded of the countless prayers. The conversations I would had with God asking him to give me a child. The nights that I would cry thinking it would never happen and then a promise that I help on to for so long. I remember the night I dreamt of you and knew that it was from the Lord. That is was a promise to me that one day I would see your face and hold you in my arms. I knew that one day I would be blessed with one of life's greatest gifts. I remember praying over you even before you were conceived knowing that even then God had a great plan for your life. And now, after months of preparation and lots of prayer, I sit, patiently awaiting your arrival. Awaiting the moment when my life will forever be changed. When I can hold you close and tell you how I have waited for you. How I love you so much. How you are an answer to my prayers. My little Jude, I already love you more than words can express. I am excited for the new adventure that you will bring to our lives. Always remember that we love you so much but more importantly, that God loves you so much more than we ever could and he has set you apart for greater things. You have been called and chosen for something great. Never turn away from God and he will continue to make your path straight. I love you and I can't wait to meet you.
"I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me what I asked of Him" 1 Samuel 1:27
