Dear Max,
I am thankful beyond words for the opportunity to be your
mom. James 1:17 tells us that every good
and perfect gift comes from above and we know that you are
straight from heaven as a gift to all who will know you. It’s truly amazing to know that someone so
tiny, who has yet to leave a single footprint on this earth, can already bring
so much joy.
Our road to meeting you hasn’t been an easy one, bringing along many tears and great stress. As with many trying situations it has also been rewarding, bringing us closer to the Lord and to one another; leaving us no option but to trust in God’s plan for our lives and our marriage. You, my child, are impacting people’s lives before we even see your sweet face. You are a miracle; our sweet, perfect answer to so many prayers spoken by so many loved ones and dear friends. When people hold you and look into your eyes they will be reminded of God’s perfect plan and His sovereignty in each of our lives. I am overwhelmed with joy and anticipation at the thought of holding you and kissing your sweet cheeks.

The next few hours/days/weeks will be filled with so many emotions as we prepare for your birth, and my heart feels so full it might explode…I can only imagine having you in my arms will be the most overwhelmingly wonderful moment of my life. I cannot wait to watch you grow, see you learn new things, make people smile and {most importantly} know Jesus. Daddy & I pray you will allow the Lord to use you in a monumental way, just as He is already doing.
13 For
you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Psalms 139:13-16
With all my heart, always,
