Jan 2007 – the month I started this blog to document our journey in conceiving a child.
The title of the blog, “Awaiting His Mercies” aptly described our desire and, more importantly, the hope that kept us going even when everything else failed.
And praise the Lord! Our waiting was not in vain. The Lord’s mercies came to us on 21 June 2008 when our baby daughter was finally born, after a pregnancy that had certain moments of risks.
Weighing 2.775kg at birth, measuring 49 cm, our little darling was the embodiment of an answered prayer – God’s answer to our years of prayers, as well as the prayers of family and friends who loved us and stood by us.
So now, with this final entry, I’m going to officially close this blog, especially since the waiting is over. But the journey ahead continues nonetheless. I’m sure it would be a journey fraught with both tears and joys, pain and delight – yet it is a path we gladly and humbly take by the strength of our Lord.
Thank you Lord for your gracious mercies showered upon hubby and myself. This precious little gift of life that you’ve provided to our care – we will do our best to take care of her and bring her up in your ways. Bless her Lord with strength, health, and a big loving heart, so that she’ll grow up to be like your Son Jesus. Thank you once again wonderful Father in heaven.
