This was taken off of one of my longtime friend's Facebook pages. I have known Amber for more than half of my life and I am absolutely delighted that she has been so blessed with her new sweet baby. Even though they live on (literally) the other side of the country, I feel blessed to watch her family grow, read about her testimony, and witness the blessings in her life. Even if it's from a distance.
She really inspires me (probably more than she knows). She takes awesome pictures on Instagram and posts good news and encouraging thoughts all the time through Facebook. She posted this a few days ago, and I loved her wording. I got permission to post it here as soon as I could, so that you could enjoy:
"They said we probably couldn't have kids, God said he's due on June 18th. They said because of my heart medication he will grow smaller, God said I'm making him a little butterball. They said I wouldn't be able to breast feed, God said I give My children their hearts desires, & they said he should have my genetic heart condition... GOD SAID HE DOESN'T! "For I know the plans I have for you declares The Lord!" This child is nothing short of a miracle and already is such a testimony! James-Thomas Ezekiel Wathen, God put the breath inside of you, He made that perfect heart beat, and he made your bones strong! Let us never forget Who holds us in His hands!"
I am so happy for you and your family Amber! Thank you for making my heart sing!
This is wonderful, Kelly. Thanks for sharing, as I will share it with someone else who needs the encouragement to keep hoping. You can touch lives of those you don't even know. God knows what he is doing!
