Today's my last day...

Today's my last day to ever leave the Young Life Office and not be a Father.
Today's my last day to ever drive Taco (my truck) and not be a Dad.
Today's my last day as a created being to ever live on this planet and not have a child.

Today Taylor and I check into the hospital at 5 this evening to begin our time before induction begins tomorrow morning. We are both extremely excited and nervous all at the same time.

'They' say that our lives are about to CHANGE! My bet is that 'they' are right...
We shall see. We have much excitement and anticipation to meet our lil' one in the very near future!

We will spend this night at the hospital and then tomorrow is 'Go Time!' We will begin induction in the morning and our lil' bambino will enter this fallen world when he / she desires.

I have begun praying great and mighty prayers for our lil' baby already.
I am praying that he / she grows up to be a Mighty Warrior for the Father!
I am praying that he / she chases after things in this life that actually matter rather than the wind!
I am praying that he / she knows the Father at a really young age and walks with Him the rest of their days!
I am praying that he / she is obedient to the Father and craves wisdom and knowledge that surpasses all understanding!
I am praying that he / she lives with an eternal perspective and loves God's Creation really well!
I am praying that he / she would bring the Father Great Joy!

Today is my last day to pray for our unborn child...
Tomorrow I will begin speaking love, grace, truth and mercy into his / her life face to face!

To Him be the glory...
