Our Precious Gift



Isaac Kristopher McFadden, born Wednesday May 26Th at 12:45 am. The birth of my sweet little boy did not play out like I planned in my head. A c-section never entered my mind but after being in labor for 18 long hours I no longer cared about my agenda.

When I really had the chance to look into the his eyes for the first time I was brought to amazement that God would be so kind to Kris and I. I know everyone says it but I can't believe how much I love this person that I do not even truly know yet. I am constantly checking his bassinet to make sure he's breathing. I am constantly praying, ' God please protect him and keep him safe'. Ultimately I know his life is in God's hands even though I am going to do my best to protect him.

Having a child brings a new meaning to responsibility.I am aware of how I need God's grace every hour and every moment of the day. I wrote in another blog post a couple of years ago that I wanted to set a new foundation after me. God answered my prayer. I pray Isaac will carry on a new foundation for our family. One that is founded on the mercy and grace of Christ Jesus our Lord! Without him we have no foundation at all.

Thank Father God for giving my husband and this precious gift. I love Isaac so much! I pray for the grace to teach him your ways and show him your love. I pray his heart is captured by you at the earliest age possible.

In Jesus' name, Amen!!!
