Prayers for our Baby's Birthmother

Lately, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the baby that God has for us and where he or she will come from. It's so weird to think that some woman/girl out in the world somewhere may already be pregnant with our baby. I am always praying for her. This girl is probably not happy to find out she is pregnant and is probably terrified about what her future holds. I pray that God is with her and eases her stress and pain.

I was listening to a Mark Schultz CD tonight and the song he wrote for his birthmother really moved me. It is called "Everything to Me" and here are the lyrics:

I must have felt your tears

When they took me from your arms

I'm sure I must heard you say goodbye

Lonely and afraid had you made a big mistake

Could an ocean even hold the tears you cried

But you had dreams for me

You wanted the best for me

And you made the only choice you could that night

A brand new world to see

Like playing baseball in the yard with dad at night

Mom reading Goodnight Moon

And praying in my room

So if you worry if your choice was right

You gave me up but you gave everything to me

And if I saw you on the street

Would you know that it was me

And would your eyes be blue or green like mine

Would we share a warm embrace

Would you know me in your heart

Or would you smile and let me walk on by

Knowing you had dreams for me

You wanted the best for me

And I hope that you’d be proud of who I am

You gave life to me

A chance to find my dreams

And a chance to fall in love

You should have seen her shining face

On our wedding day

Oh is this the dream you had in mind

When you gave me up

You gave everything to me

And when I see you there

Watching from heaven’s gates

Into your arms

I’m gonna run

And when you look in my eyes

You can see my whole life

See who I was

And who I’ve become
