Day 3 Faith

From the moment this child was conceived, even earlier if we had difficulty conceiving, motherhood has been an act of faith.  Faith that the baby would brow to full term and emerge healthy.  Now, with the baby here in my arms, I realize the true journey of faith has begun.  Will my baby survive infancy> Will I be a good mother? How will my child survive childhood, teens and adulthood without physical problems or emotional baggage? Will he come to a personal relationship with and saving faith in Jesus? Now, more than every, I must live Galations 2:20 - I have been crucified with Christ - Christ lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me."  I give "my" life for this infant in faith that my love and sacrifice will somehow translate into a healthy life for my child. 

Tip: Take pictures of those tiny feet and feet, perhaps next to your own large ones, for a precious memory. They grow so quickly!
