Little Faith

This has been such an exciting period of time for Geo and myself.  Even before little Faith is out, she is already so well loved by many - aunt, grandmother, mummy's friends and colleagues.  She has been such a blessing to us.  Already she has taught us so much.  Through little Faith, I experienced just a little, very little, of God's love for me.  Suddenly the verse that speaks about God already knowing me when I was in my mother's womb became so real.

As the little one got more active, we began to guess where is her location inside my womb.  Is that bump jutting out her elbow or her knee? Is that the little hands that moved.  We also realized that little Faith respond pretty well to music.  She would move each time I turn on iSis Trio's cello, harp and violin! Secretly, I hope that she would take up a string instrument.  I am already imagining how things will be like to have father and daughter play music together.

I am enjoying the little one within me yet I can't wait for her to be out to hug and kiss her.  Every kick excite me, every movement brings a smile to my face.  Daily, I pray that labor will come easy for me. :)

Spiritually, daily, I will exchange fear with faith.  Exchange fear with strength.  The entire pregnancy has taught me lots and I know that Faith will teach me much more.

Dear Faith, bear with mummy cause as many clients and children that mummy has helped over the years, mummy know that having you is something new in daddy's and my life.  Know that we love you dearly.  Even before you are out, you are already dearly loved. Do you know that every night, daddy will listen to you? Each time you move, daddy will excitedly come to mummy's tummy.  Daddy also likes to chat with you.  Every night, daddy will kiss you goodnight.  Of course, there may be one or two days of exception because daddy was too tired after playing for church service.

Faith, always know that you are dearly loved.  Not just by daddy and mummy or aunty or grandparents.. You are dearly dearly dearly loved by God.  God knows you already even when you are inside mummy's womb.  Your name was impressed to daddy by God.  :)

Faith, this is daddy talking to you.

... and this is little Faith 29 weeks inside me.
