Jimmy

Never under estimate God, or His ability to understand and to conceieve the desires of our heart. He knows our desires, and He knows them all very, very well. Much better than you will ever know them yourself.

This page is to simply express the joys that have flooded our home since the birth of our son.

Jesus, Thanks. A million thanks for hearing and for answering my prayers. You know the doubts we feel when certain situations arise in our lives. Though you always know what's best for us. A million thanks Lord. I wouldn't have missed watching the little girl next door, (Courtney) toting a half a gallon of vanilla ice cream and two spoons to the backyard fence to share with my six year old son Jimmy. I giggled as I watched her and Jimmy standing on chairs with only the fence and the ice cream between them. Lord, then I started weeping. The site in watching these children just touched my soul so much! A million thanks Lord, for allowing, (on one of my bad days), a small voice to break through it all and say - "I talked to your Mother about you today".

A million thanks Lord, for giving me a son, who loves so unconditionally, that he gives the kids his food when they're hungry and all the freeze pops when they ask. A million thanks Lord. The school says Jimmy is behind in things he needs to know. I was quizzing him on his shapes. I held up a cross and he said "thats Jesus Christ". I hugged him so tight Lord and whispered, - "son, that's all you need to know!"

A million thanks Lord for sending this young man to soften the heart of his Dad. God, the former person that existed prior to his birth.....is gone! GOD!!!! I KNEW the man that you had created Jimmys Dad to be, WAS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!!!!!! I never gave up hope. I didn't know quite how you were going to change his life, but you had it all planned out, ...didn't you? You knew that NOTHING could change his life, like a child could. That's why you sent your son, isn't it? A million thanks for my saviour, a million thanks.

A million thanks Lord, for understanding the fear I was having with childbirth. God, I will never forget the discussion we had prior to Jimmys birth. I went into my "think tank", and told you that I understood that as a result of sin, woman would experience painful childbirth. I told you that I understood that it was in your word. It was written. Your word is fact,...and I know that. I began telling you the fears that I was having. I simply asked that you would help me during my time of childbirth and if I had to endure pain, that it would be minimal. I ended up having Jimmy through an "emergency c-section". Lord, you know I had the first one natural. This fit the bill of my request. Thanks a million.Lord, I could go on and on and on. But I know that one day, I will see your face.

If I had 10,000 years, I would still run out of time to say ~thanks a million~ for each and every thing you have done in my life.
