Tomorrow I will tell Clayton goodbye again. He'll only be gone for two months this time, but it'll still break my heart to see him go. God blessed me twenty-seven years ago when he placed Clayton in my womb...It was my wedding night!! His daddy had to leave two weeks later to go to Germany. He too, was in the Army. Clayton and I spent precious bonding time by ourselves,but I know he missed his daddy. Danny didn't even know that he'd been born until he was 4 days old. He didn't see him until he was 5 months old...and then for only a few days - until he was 18 months old. But I got to spend that time holding him, reading to him, praying for him, and loving him. He has always been precious to my heart!!
By the way, not to get on my soapbox too long, but another passion to me... I had Toxemia early on and the doctors at the Navy hospital told me that I would die if I didn't "terminate" my pregnancy. They even went so far as to tell me that Danny had already signed the papers...He didn't even know I was sick! I was ready to divorce him in order to keep my baby, but they didn't press the issue when I called for the JAG officer! Anyway, it WAS a hard pregnancy. I was sick every day and I had pre-eclampsia the day I had him, but...I am ALIVE and SO IS HE!! He's smart and he has put his life on the line many times to rescue others. ONLY God knows the future, and ONLY He has the right to take a baby's life!! God knew Clayton would live and save lives. The doctors didn't know what they were talking about! Psalms 139 says that God knew us and EVERY part of us BEFORE we were even born!! HE knits us together and forms us to be the way HE wants us to be...Clayton is God's son! OFF MY SOAPBOX NOW...lol!!
I will pray for Clayton tomorrow and every day until he returns...and every day of his life. He is my heart!!
Well, just eighteen months after Clayton was born, God opened my heart and sent my precious Steven to me. I almost lost him, too, but God healed him and gave him to me to bless my heart. He began to tell people about God when he was only seven years old and I knew then that he would do great things for God's kingdom. When he was in high school, he blessed my heart when he told me that God had called him to give his life to full-time ministry.
He will graduate on December 10, with a Bachelor's degree in Ministry Studies and will go on to seminary soon after. I am SO SO proud of him!! He is my heart!!
Seven years ago God gave me my first daughter when He gave Ashley to Clayton. She too is my heart. My first grandchild came four years later. Aedan stole my heart and I love him so much!! Just a month ago their twins were born and Bryan and Caleb became my heart,also! God bless Clayton and Ashley and their sons, as they mean SO much to me!! THANK YOU GOD FOR THEM!!
Almost two years ago God sent me another daughter when He gave Penelope to Steven. She has blessed my heart and gave me my first grand daughter nine months later when ANGEL EYES, Hannah was born. She is the apple of my eye and ALSO my heart!! God, please bless Steven and Penelope and Hannah because they mean SO much to me!! THANK YOU GOD FOR THEM!!
God has blessed my heart and my life with children and grandchildren to love and help grow into His sons and daughters. I will pray for them daily and never stop thanking God for bringing SO MANY blessings into my life!!
I love You, Jesus!!
