Well, today was what you would call a life changing day. After a busy week at the church, I took this afternoon off to veg out on the sofa watching a little TV. Danielle just so happened to take the rest of the day off too, so there we were.
As we sat on our respective sofas, she said, "Oh, I made you something at work today. I forgot to give it to you." I opened the small white envelope she gave me. Inside was a small, red construction paper heart similar to the one I keep in my wallet that she gave me over nine years ago. But with one small difference. On this one was written, "For Daddy."
I'M GOING TO BE DAD!!! I AM A DAD!!!! Even now God has pulled out His sovereign and creative loom and has commenced His masterpiece. He is creating our child in the womb of my wife...my child's mother. He is creating His child in the womb of my wife. This speck, no larger than the tip of a pen, will continue to be shaped, molded, fitted, and perfected. Perfected in His eyes. Every vessel in place. Full of blood, life, and purpose.
The first stroke has been laid on the canvas. A masterpiece awaits.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13
