"...No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." 1Cor.2:9
"...When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Ps.139:15,16
Dear Sweet Daughter
As a girl I had a common dream, to be a mom someday.
My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.
But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions fill my head.
Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.
And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round.
Now in my dreams they're almond shaped and colored cocoa brown.
And in my dreams my arms can stretch across enormous seas.
They reach half-way around the world and hold you close to me.
As you grow in your mother's womb, carefully knit together, you're also growing in my heart, where you will stay forever.
And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye, I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.
Our features may not look alike; we're different as can be.
But still I know the Father has created you for me.
And though I've not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands,
and though we're half a world apart in very different lands.
I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows.
But 'til He says the time is right I give to you this vow.
I'll pray for your protection every night on bended knee,
For God will hold you in His arms until you're here with me.~Gayle Leubecker~
I am married to a great guy who also happens to be my best friend. We were married in May, 1995, and it has been quite an adventure. I am now "retired" from working outside the home and looking forward to being a stay-at-home mom. We attend Bear Valley Community Church and have a wonderful church family. Our ministry passions are building strong marriages and helping others to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
So sweet ... can't wait for y'all to get home.
