Hi, myself!
It is a very good morning! You woke up with a grateful heart and decided to write to yourself for you to REMEMBER why you're grateful.
You are grateful because God has given you a precious gift in this season. You are 16 weeks pregnant to your first baby. You are overjoyed because of many reasons! God's allowed you to be pregnant even though your ovaries do not mature. He's shown you that His love is the key to drive out every fear in you especially in your first trimester. He's taught you to be confident in Him and in His promises. You are more confident now. Your faith increased and you discovered His great love for you and your baby. What a great God! As you read this, maybe (10) ten or (20) twenty years from now, I just want you to know that God is a faithful God! He loves you so much that he rewarded you with a baby. You don't deserve it, but He gave it anyway. As you are writing this letter, you are crying because you are overwhelmed with the goodness of God!
You are grateful because of your husband's love and support. This season has allowed you to discover his love for you more. After the first night of knowing you're pregnant, he left a note for you. He said that he's going to take care of you and your baby. That brought you so much joy! He's a thoughtful husband. He has been preparing breakfast for you, driving and fetching you from work, giving you warm hugs when you need it, protecting you, serving you no matter how tired he is, making you laugh, giving you what you need and want, reminding you of God's promise of protection for you and the baby and many more! He's a loving husband and you know it better now that he is really one of the best decisions you've ever made! You're grateful to have been married to such a great man. You have been thanking God for him! You love him more this season.
You are grateful and overwhelmed because of the baby inside of you. You haven't felt the baby kick yet, but you know that the baby is there because of your growing tummy. Many times when you wake up, you check if the baby is still in your tummy. You want to make sure that the baby is safe and is still there. You love the baby so much! In fact, you always think of the baby. You talk to the baby every now and then. You imagine and dream how would the baby look like. You always pray for the baby. Few weeks from now, you will know the gender of your baby... You just know that whether the baby's a boy or a girl, he/she will surpass you. He/she will be way better than you. You know that the baby will influence more people, achieve more, go to more countries, be more intelligent, and be more beautiful than you and you're excited about it!
There are many more things you are grateful for this season but, Phoebe, I want you to REMEMBER these top three reasons. Do not forget God's faithfulness, your husband's love & support and the joy your baby has brought you.
