Joshua David - My sweet little boy



Finally on the 17th of February, my baby was born. It was a moment I had been waiting for. A moment full of both sorrow and joy. The birth of Joshua was much harder than I had ever expected. The emotions of having him alone were overwhelming to me and there were moments that I didn't know if I had the physical or mental strength to make it to the end. But somehow God gave me what I needed. It still wasn't easy but seldom in this life is. However, even through our toughest moments - He gets us through. He gives us the strength and the grace we need to walk each and every road we come to. 

Joshua was a glorious surprise! I expected a bald little 5 pound girl. What God gave me was the most precious little boy with a head full of hair and an amazing 7 lbs. 14 oz. When God creates a surprise He holds nothing back! I feel that God wanted to bless me with the joy of this surprise so he kept Joshua hidden and let me have the surprise of him being a boy. Since the moment he was born, Joshua has been such a delight to me.  A little bundle of joy in my world of sorrow. I praise God everyday for giving me Joshua. He truly is a blessing sent from heaven. 

Thank-you everyone for all your prayers. Joshua is a living example of the power of prayer and the amazing hand of God. Thank-you. 

I put together some pictures of Joshua so you can see them. Go to this website and watch the video. I hope you all enjoy it.
