Got some new toys in for ministry (in the picture with Catherine & Cosgrove resting in the background) and was able to get some decents shots of JC. Got back from our 2nd visit to the pediatrician today and so far so good, Cosgrove hasnt contracted the bug I have (11 days and counting) and Catherine hasnt either. Thank God!!! The pediatrician talked to us about SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and were taking every precaution, praying, praying, praying and praying. At the end of the day, its only Gods will that will prevail, but He hears the cries of His children. The advice from all the parents we talked with before we had Cosgrove really helped. Everyone says its a life changing experience, but you dont really know it until you go through it. You know about it, but you never really know until it happens to you. I guess thats how our walk with God is. You cant describe a personal relationship with the Almighty Creator of the Universe and the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth until youre in that relationship. Its not something you can describe. In the same way I could know ABOUT having a baby, having one is an entirely different playing field. You can know about Him, but knowing Him is another story. Weve all been in those situations where we felt like God didnt hear our prayers. Especially in trying times when we think God has turned away. But He hasnt. Hes heard every prayer and those who seek Him will find Him. Sometimes He says no and its almost always because He has something better. Other times He says yes and those are wonderful times. And still every so often God will say wait and those always build our character. But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His loving-kindness from me. Psalms 66:19-20 I still long to hold my baby John Cosgrove. Ive been praying for God to heal me, but God is saying wait -- maybe for me to realize how our Abba Father longs for us. Once Cosgrove was crying and crying. I couldnt pick him up even though I had a mask on. I didnt want to risk it. Hes too young and delicate at his infancy. As soon as he was held, he stopped crying. Thats all he wanted. To be held. In life, maybe thats all you want. Is to be held. Your Heavenly Father yearns to hold you. And whether you realize or not. You yearn to be held by Him. All the real crying ends when we receive His eternal embrace. Pain doesnt end. But the pain from behind apart from Him does. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Proverbs 8:17 And when you receive that love...nothing can take it away. Nothing. When the times comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from Gods love. ~ Charles Spurgeon
