Praying for Mattie

Alan and I have been left to assume with our projected time line that Mattie has been born. It often feels surreal to me, and it always brings an emotional element beyond what words can describe.

We have began praying this for Mattie, if you would like to join us....
Dear Lord,
You can do all things b/c of who you are, and all good things come from you. Therefore, we ask that when Mattie is hungry send someone to feed her; when she is cold provide a blanket to be put around her; if she is too warm send someone give her a cool bath; when she cries dear Lord, please let there be someone to hold her; if she is sick send a doctor to visit her and give her the medicine she needs; please keep our precious baby safe and keep her from any harm.
Once she's in our arms dear Lord we pray you will help us bring her up in the way she should go and she may grow in the grace and knowledge of you. {Proverbs 22:6, 2Peter 3:18}.
We ask everything in accordance to your wisdom and perfect will. Amen

I just wanted you to know that God brings you to mind often and my prayers are with your family as you wait to be united. What a wonderful moment awaits you in just a few months as you hold Mattie for the first time!

Take care,
