I don't have a lot of time to post so I'll make this as quick as possible.
I'M BECOMING A FATHER THIS WEEKEND!!!
That's right, Friday (April 22nd), at 2:00pm - Amber will be induced. That just basically means that a doctor forces her to go into labor. There is nothing wrong, this is not an emergency or anything. The doctor just said that it looked ideal for the baby to be born this weekend. She went in for an ultrasound on Tuesday and the lady said, "this looks a lot more like May 3rd, not May 10th." We thought, SWEET - one less week to wait! Then the doctor did the exam. He said, "May 10th? Hmm, ya know, it would really be ideal for this baby to be born this weekend. How about Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?" We were blown away...and of course, we jumped on Friday as fast as possible! So, yeah, this weekend Amber and I become parents. Please, please, please pray for us! Pray for Amber - pray that she will have the strength needed for this; that she'll rest in the peace of God, knowing that His will will be done. Pray that Amber and I will be like Jesus to our son. Pray for our son, Gibson. Please pray that everything would go well on Friday and that'd he'd be born just as God wants him to be. Pray for the doctors, nurses, etc. as well. We'd appreciate it so much!
Lord, we don't deserve this! Gibson is a visible symbol of your grace to us. I am overwhelmed at the beauty of your creation...and re-creation. You alone are God! You alone are capable of this! I praise You God for your handiwork in my family...Your family. From every bit of energy, emotion, and thought - thank YOU so much!
