My eyes are filled with tears, yet my heart filled with thankfulness and praise to our loving Lord who gives us His strength and grace each day. <BR/>I especially appreciated the part about you deciding to follow the Lord's guidance and have Joel and Josiah at home. My dh and I are expecting our number 11. Our oldest is 10. We have heard much criticism and gotten the cold shoulder from many family and friends. Yet the joy the Lord gives in knowing we can just trust Him and the blessing each baby is renews my faith. Our last 2 babies were born by c-section. We live in Mexico several hundred miles away from the US, but we've found a doctor who is willing to let us try to have a natural labor. My husband and I would both like to do this and have been asking the Lord for guidance. Of course, we've hardly mentioned this to anyone and the ones who do know have given much caution and said some hurtful things. I appreciate your encouragement to listen to the Lord. I oft so easily get discouraged. <BR/>I pray for you each time you come to my mind...sometimes many times a day. God bless you and Happy 4th Birthday Josiah. Our Josiah turned 4 this summer to :)<BR/>love,<BR/>JayneeThe Lockwood Family ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/12684684628439146582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021807776846074767.post-63622159429618775932007-09-13T16:33:00.000-05:002007-09-13T16:33:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday Josiah!

I am sorry your brother Joel isn't sitting next to you today, he is having is party in Heaven with Jesus, but I know he is looking down and you and smiling! You are such a big boy now! I hope you get lots of good presents and eat lots of cake. Today is my little boy's birthday and we are having cake here too! He is 6. We think of you and Joel when we light our candles on the cake!
