I spend lots of time awake these days, while others rest and dream away.
Dear baby in me, I know these hours will soon be spent with you.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139:13-14
I can't help but smile. Though my body restless, my mind busy,
my heart is still before the Lord pondering who she will be. Mine.
"My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth."
Psalm 139:15
As I sit here awake and pray, gratitude overflows at the knowing that she will soon become.
She will soon join in. She will soon know a new love, different than what she's known so far.
"Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them."
Psalm 139:16
And what a privilege to have been given the chance to love this girl, to participate in my way.
"Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God."
Psalm 22:9-10
Lord, thank you for the miracle that you're masterfully, thoughtfully, purposefully crafting within.
Thank you for meeting me here all these hours in communion with you...awake.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you."
Jeremiah 1:5
