It's said that, "Good things come to those who wait",
   although I'm sure these last few years must
      have seemed like a lifetime.
But now you have a beautiful child gotten,
   not by chance, but given by God.
Showing you both that His hand was upon this journey all along;
Waiting not only to bless you with this incredible gift
   but awaiting to pick the most perfect moment...
to reveal this child,
   who He has created just for you.

James 1:17 (NIV)

Can you believe that soon you'll be bringing baby home?
You must be so excited as well as a little nervous too.
So when you find doubts overshadow
   what you already know
And when your exhaustion muffles your soul.
Remember that God, in His infinite wisdom,
   has already given you everything you need
For within you is goodness, patience, and peace
And with God-given gifts like these
   your child can't help but be blessed...
because their foundation will be
   that of God, life, and love.

Isaiah 28:16 (NIV)

(Baby name can be printed on card if known. Contact me via email with information after card order is placed)

Change brings a variety of challenges
   and opportunities.
There are times of confidence
   and times of doubt.
Times of joy
   and times of sadness.
But no matter what life throws in your direction
   You can withstand it all...
For within you is the spirit of One so powerful
   Who, by mere words, can bring the dead
      back to life!
 
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

God gave hindsight 20/20 vision so you can look
   back on your life and see
How perfectly He has guided you;
   how often He has listened to you
      how completely He has provided for you
And because hindsight shows how God has always
   sustained you, you can now have peace...
and the confidence, courage, and strength
   to move forward into battle.

Psalm 63:7-8

These last few months I've watched you grow
   from a woman of ability, hope, and faith
Into a woman possessing
  abundant confidence, courage, and strength.
I have always been proud of you,
   but now I'm also amazed and blessed
Because I know that God has allowed me to see...
   the person He's always known you to be.

Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

(Order card for "male" to have "man" written on card)

Going out on your own for the very first time
   is filled with mixed emotions.
The dream of it brings expectation and excitement,
   the reality of it brings panic and fear.
That's what change does.
It piques the senses and lets us know,
That we're stepping out of the old
   and into the new.
Whenever times get tough
   I will be here to remind you that...
God Almighty himself knew,
   even before you were born,
that you were ready for this day!
 
Proverbs 3:21-23 (NIV)
