The Best Ever.

I love children. And when I mean I love them, it's like a deep, soul-filling love that no one can possibly understand unless you can find a way to crawl into my heart. It's a love for them so beyond a "babysittin" love that every girl between the age of 12 and 15 possesses. It's a love for who they are as little people. They're quirks, movement, and the uncanny way that a sweet child can sum you up with one look. They know when something is wrong, even if you greet them with a smile, and a kind word or hug from an "older kid" means everything. I love knowing that each and every child I come in contact with was knit together by such a perfect hand... that they are made in the image of a beautiful Maker. Therefore, they are so intensely beautiful. And I love them.... which is why abortion... it breaks my heart. I know this is a cliche term thrown around without so much as a bat of the eye. But when I say it, I mean it. It moves me to tears, just the thought of it.

So, my sweet future baby, I will love you forever. I don't care if you are not viewed as earthly perfection, you are perfectly wonderful to me. Already. I promise to love you for who you are, and nothing less. If you are a stunning little girl, let's have tea parties and play house and dress-up... sing in the rain, and laugh together. If you would rather roll in the mud, get dirty, and throw a basketball into a hoop, you go girl. I'll be right there with you, although you might have to teach mommy some of your amazing skills. If you are a handsome baby boy, let's play catch, watch the Incredibles over and over again, and play Destroy the Earth with my Finger Guns, or whatever you choose to be your weapon. To my child, whether boy or girl... let's just have fun, okay? I am praying for your sweet soul right now, and I'm seventeen years old. I want you on this earth. If you ever doubt or wonder, come to me and we'll talk. I'll take you for ice cream, or coffee, or to get some cute shoes, or a new tie for prom... and we'll talk. I will listen to you and respect you. You know why, sweetheart? Because I love you... and will always love you. You are the best baby girl/baby boy a mom could ask for.

Praising God for new life,
Your Future Momma
