New Edition: First Time Dad©, Part VI

5/17/11

On the way to work this morning God showed me you around the time you start kindergarten.  You are so pretty with your long hair and multiple pony tails.  Zaria you will be a carbon copy of mommy.  I don’t know what you were writing at your desk but it’s easy to imagine you as everybody’s friend and “the really smart girl.”  

Mommy and daddy are so excited about you and all of the times we will have together.  We will “raise you up in the admonition of the Lord!"

Baby girl Zaria, there are so many things to prepare for your arrival.  We have received many gifts already and this weekend your grandparents are buying your crib.  Mommy picked it out and as soon as I saw it I knew it was fir for a princess.  Princess is what your name means, it a variation of Sara and it’s a major city in Nigeria—and it so fits.

Your room will be ready soon and we will pick out the colors soon.  The last time I checked they are purple and bronze, but now it’s up in the air.  We continue to confess every day that you will have everything you need and God’s supply has been very abundant.

Zaria, mommy and I want you to know that things come and go, but God’s love is the most important thing.  This love also known as “Agape”, the God kind of love, is what moved Him to send his son Jesus to stand in our place.  This is why we have access to salvation and we can be forgiven for our sins.  Mommy and I will tell you all about Jesus and the impact He’s made in our lives.  We will do our absolute best to live it out to other people and especially YOU.

I can’t wait to wait to build your first dollhouse, put training wheel on your bike and fishing trips (mommy doesn’t like to so I thought we could).  

See you soon!

Love,

Daddy
