In June 2009, a wonderful friend gave birth to her precious daughter, Alaina. While the pregnancy was normal, the delivery was not. To make a long story short, Alaina was on the verge of life & death at her birth. She had ingested meconium & her little lungs were fighting for air. Stephanie & her husband, Scotlon, endured several weeks of NICU praying that their 1st born would survive.
Fast forward to November 2009. Alaina is a beautiful & healthy little monster. She's the sweetest baby, full of laughs & smiles. I'm thrilled at the chance to babysit her.
While feeding Alaina today, I started thinking about her rough start to this world & the many prayers that went up in her name. Clearly, God had another plan for this precious child. I cannot wait to see how He uses her. I will admit that Alaina was in the hands of some fabulous nurses & doctors, but all of the glory needs to go straight to God.
The song that comes to mind - HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD.
Name above all names Worthy of our praise My heart will sing How great is our God

Mom 2 Chel N Justin
I used to define myself as a working mom who believed in the benefits of daycare, preschool & public school; breast-feeding is great, but not the only way to feed your child. Born & raised in northern NJ transplanted to Georgia. I still believe those things, but now I simply choose to define myself as a child of the Most High God. A work in progress and have no problem sharing my journey. Recovering food addict & compulsive over eater. Afflicted with clinical depression yet trusting God to show me the way.

My beloved hubby, C. He has a heart for God. Some have even described him as "Sold Out for God" - and that's not a bad thing. He's not ashamed to worship openly. He captured my heart when we were just 15.

Our adult daughter, C. She has a heart of gold and wants to be friends with everyone. She's sensitive & sweet and beautiful inside & out. Love watching her navigate life and keeping true to herself.
