Unbelievable. God is in complete control, is all-powerful, and has poured out a flood of blessing on us this day! Stephi was so great - never complaining, never upset. To all those people who say your wife cusses you out in labor and tells you how much she hates you - too bad for you. I spoke blessing over my wife today from the Word of God and prayed over her, our room and our doctors and nurses. She responded by being full of God's Spirit and was such a delight to be around. We went in at 6:45 AM and delivered at 6:26 PM, and it was one of the best days of our lives! Once Laomai decided to poke her head out, she was ready! Quite a surreal moment. Laomai means "spiritual healing" in Greek, and God is already using her to bring together a fractured family, and has given us both a new love for our Heavenly Father. What selflessness of God to give up His only Son. Amazing. Many thanks to those of you who were there, to those who called with well wishes, and especially to those of you who prayed so hard for us. Thanks for doing battle for us against the enemy. Now come rejoice with us in victory!

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel...

Miscarriage | Infertility | Hope

I encountered Jesus as a young child in a church pew in the balcony of an old country church. Through a lifetime of trial, I knew he was there. I did not always know or understand what he wanted of me, but I knew I was wanted. We could go through all of the pain and abuse of my life and unpack each tiny detail, but that is not what this is really about. I love what Frederick Buechner said, “Pain is not the biggest thing that has ever happened to you.” That is true. I have beheld far greater glory. As I clung to his word through all of this, I knew he was there.   My story about trying begins long before I began trying to have children. I tell you this because almost half of the population has been abused in some way. The attack on my uterus began when I was four-years-old. I spent most of my life believing that I was broken and I was crippled by shame. I carried that shame into every relationship I had. As I encountered people in the church, I never felt safe enough to ask for...
