Beautiful Blessings!!



Here are some pictures of our Beautiful Blessings from God. Here is a small testimony of our little ones:

Lacie Michelle was born May, 08, 2002. She was born at 27 weeks - weighing in at 1 lb 11 oz. She was in the NICU for three months. As a result of her prematurity, she suffered major brain damage resulting in 6 brain surgeries (to date: more could come in the future) - the Dr.'s told us that she would have many troubles in life and probably would not be able to live a normal life. Well, I am here to testify that she is a miracle. She is 5 1/2 years old now and attending school. However, she does have some mild Cerebral Palsy and suffers from epilepsy. A verse the Lord has given to me for strength and comfort is John 11:4 "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." Please pray for Lacie that she will be strong and that we continue to get her the medical help that she needs.

Johnathon Robert was born on November, 12, 2003 - same day at his Grandpa Setser and his mother - it made for a very special birthday present. He is named after one of my closest childhood friends, Jonathan Bradley, who went to be with the Lord at the age nine. Our Johnathon weighed in at 6 lb 13 oz. He was born with his PDA valve open and some under developed lungs; therefore, he spent two weeks in the NICU. He is now 4 years old and doing very well. God is good and has given Johnathon a clean health report. He is ready for school - he asks me regularly when he will be able to go to school - please pray that he will be able to attend K-4 at Temple Baptist Academy this coming Fall.

We ask you to remember Lacie and Johnathon in your prayers for their health and strength. Please pray for Matthew and I as we work together to train them to serve the Lord.

Great job on the blog! It's always fun to read and keep up with each other this way. Even though we may see everyone at church, there's often not enough time to chat.
