Getting ready to bring this little girl into the world is one of the scariest things I have done. I wasn't nervous about marrying my husband. I knew we WOULD NOT fail. Never a doubt in my mind about that. God gave me a good one. Before we knew we were having a girl I was more comfortable with the idea of having a boy. The thought of another little boy in the world like my husband melted my heart. I was excited about seeing Perry get to teach him all the "BOY" stuff and watch him grow into a wonderful you man like his daddy. Well God apparently has other plans for us. He has always known how to stretch my comfort zone. So he is giving me a girl. What a scary thought! I was talking to my friend Jen this morning about how we don't want our little girls to make the same mistakes we did. Ugh! I don't want her to experience some of the heartache I did. I wish I could protect her from all the horrible things that will come her way. I know I can't. As much as that is any parents goal to protect there kids from everything, they can't. What I can do is do my best to "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."Proverbs 22:6. The effort my parents took to teach me about God's unfailing love and his mercy. I always knew who to fall back on. When I couldn't trust my friends or a man or people in general I knew I could always trust in Him. I knew that no matter that mistakes I made or how far off the tracks I got he would be right there waiting and forgiving and loving. I've never once not felt loved. I have been blessed with a loving family always loving friends and the love of the most amazing man! Now I am going to be blessed with a sweet little girl!! Oh how I can't wait to love on her!
