A Good Work...

I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6.  Thankful for God's presence in our lives.  No matter what happens and what challenges present themselves to us I believe that God will finish the good work that He started.  God doesn't do half done jobs.  I'm believing and expecting great things in Baby Jay's life.  I trust Him to continue to turn things around.  Tested but not defeated, challenged but not discouraged.  Trusting and serving God Almighty in Jesus' name.  God is good.

Forgive me Lord...

I've been sitting here reflecting on Jaylan's birth.  We had already been told that we would be put on Comfort Care since Jay was already diagnosed with Trisomy 13.  We had carefully made the decision to deliver in Conway with no Intervention Team on standby.  So with nothing but the grace of God Jay was born and survived.  She had no worldly technology or assistance.  Just her and God.  The day after she was born when she began having lots of trouble breathing and turned completely blue while gasping for breath, we were told by the "doctor" that she was passing away as we all sat and watched, held her and cried, and waited in silence... she survived.  I remember asking God "Lord just take her now, please just take her now I can't handle seeing her struggle."  Michael was saying "Lord please help her breath".  By His grace she still survived.  Once again, it wasn't about any of us.  God was looking down with His plan in tact saying I have much work to be done.  I've asked God to forgive me for getting in His way and the work of His Kingdom because at that moment I was denying His work.  I'm so thankful that His plan overrides me and I pray that His work is being done just as He designed it to be done from the beginning.  I look at Baby Jay now with so much love and I know that babies can work for God too.  If babies can work for God, than what should we be doing?  God is good.
