My Dearest Rebekah,
They say that patience is a virtue. Well if that is the
case, you are helping me to become the most virtuous father in the history of
the universe! I know that one day we will laugh about how you wanted to stay in
your mom’s womb forever. Your mom will have contractions for a few hours, then they stop. I try not to get too excited, but I always do.
It has been suggested that your mother is too good of
an incubator. I think that you and God are still working on your final few
details. Perfecting your smile.
Finalizing those last minute locks of beautiful hair. Fully developing your
lungs so you can sing to the Lord in worship… or cry because you’re hungry.
God has taught me through the course of my life that His
timing and His plans are the best things for us. Sometimes we don’t know why. Sometimes we grow
impatient. We want to be in charge of
every situation. Know the results before we start. Control all variables. But
God wants us to let go. He wants us to give everything to Him. Give Him
control. Because in reality, He has always been driving the cars, just have trouble letting
go of the wheel.
You, my precious daughter, are helping me to let go and let
God. And I will forever be thankful to
you for that. I have not the slightest clue when you will bless us with your
smile. But, I do know that our heavenly Father has it all under control. And I
would not have it any other way. So continue to grow strong and healthy my baby
girl. And always remember that your father here on earth and your Father up in Heaven both
love you so very much.
-Daddy
