Introducing Baby Grady

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4 NIV

Grady was welcomed to our world on April 11th. Things didn't exactly go as planned. I can't tell you how grateful I am to see the pictures below. I rejoice in knowing that we serve a mighty God who is still in the business of performing miracles. This picture is a constant reminder of how great HE is.


Without divulging too much detail I can share a little of what happened. Jessica's planned c-section didn't go as smooth as it should have. Mom and baby were both doing great until Jessica's uterus failed to contract and stop bleeding. My sweet best friend ended up spending her first days as a new mommy in the ICU. There was a period of time when all every one could do was pray. Pray for Jessica and her strength and for those around her who were staying strong and believing in God to heal her.

Being the stubborn/ brilliant/ beautiful ( yes, those should be in reverse order) person she is she came out on top like a champ! She was able to go home with her sweet baby several days after being released from the ICU. I was able to meet her precious man when he was 10 days old. 

He's adorable... and Jackson's best friend :)

best friends & babies

and of course Jackson had to ham it up in a few photos. He and Grady made a goal post sign...
Looks like Grady is shouting out "roll tide" and Jackson's pumped about a touch down!

15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:15-16 NIV
