More Than Enough

I must begin by admitting that I woke up today with much trepidation and a lot of fear. Fear for the future and what it does or doesn't hold. Fear that this may happen again or we may have a sick baby. But, I got up. I got ready and went through the motions of getting Jack ready for Jungle Gym. On our way to his gym class I began to pray aloud, as I do every morning on our way to our daily adventure. Jackson usually just sits in the back playing with his toys, unfazed. This time, however, was different. He called "mommy mommy." I told him I was praying and asked him if he wanted to pray. He said, "ok." So, I asked to say the following prayer: "Thank You, Jesus, for this day. Amen!" He said it perfectly and excitedly!

I have had the song "More Than Enough" stuck in my head for a few days. I've been thinking about the words, "All of You is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need..." I've been pondering these words for a while asking myself if I truly believe them. If everything was taken from me would God be enough? He answered that question for me loud and clear today! He is more than enough and will fill every thirst and every need I have. He did it today when I got to hear my little boy say his first prayer and utter Jesus' name. God knows exactly what we need at exactly the right time even when we don't ask and feel lost. He is more than enough!


This is Jackson after he prayed. He was very proud of himself! This could have been because his mommy was clapping and crying and telling him wildly how proud she was of him. By the way, I was stopped when I tok the picture:)

God sure does work in mysterious ways!

I completely agree. I think God is letting you know through Jackson that everything is going to be okay :)

Grady's Story

Grady Steven Fish 7lbs. 3oz. 19 1/2inches April 25, 2009 4:45pm SURPRISE! Actually, I think absolute shock is more appropriate! This was me a week ago...happy at 36 weeks pregnant with not much happening. I thought for sure that I had at least 2 weeks left, if not four. I did, however, frantically run around town that day getting all the things I thought I needed to get just in case. Good thing I am a little neurotic and OCD because it paid off a few days later. I have had contractions on and off since I was 25 weeks pregnant or so. I never thought anything of them because they were so sporadic and fairly painless. Friday camearound and I noticed that I was having more contractions than usual. Grady was still moving about so I didn't worry much. Around 2:30pm that day I laid down because the contractions were coming on a little stronger and closer together. I called Scott to let him know and honestly, to see when he was coming home from work. Jackson was still napping and I wasn...

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil...

Joys and Sorrows

Ok,so I don't really know what to say. All I know is that writing is therapeutic for me and I think I need a little therapy right now. Where to begin? I guess with my doctor appointment. I went in for my routine 12 week check-up only to find out some grim news...the baby had no heartbeat and stopped developing at 10 weeks. No...this cannot be happening...again. There is just no way. God wouldn't allow this to happen again. Yet, it did. How am I feeling, you ask? Honestly, I don't really know. I am deeply saddened, angry,hurt, overwhelmed, fearful, determined, full of faith, lacking in faith, etc., etc. How should I be feeling? What should I do now? Do I sit and cry or do I go finish the errands I need to get done today? I am at a loss. What I do know is that less then a week ago I was experiencing such great joy. I watched my son enjoy the very things I loved as a child. I enjoyed time spent with my husband and with us as a family. I felt my toes in the sand, watched my fav...
