You're Mine

                            

I listen to this song and can't wait for the million times I will be able to claim you as mine. You're mine and I will always claim you, no matter what you do. There are going to be many times when you get into trouble and when you mess up but I won't ever leave you. I won't ever be ashamed to claim you as mine. I will always be proud to call you mine, in everything you do. God loves to call you his as well. He has great purpose for you and will never walk away from you.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD…”                                                                                   Jeremiah 29:11-14

You're Such A Blessing

Hey son! Just to let you know you came a little early, about 10 days. That's alright though because you are just the most amazing thing to happen in my life. I love you so much. You were born at 4:44pm on 2/3/12. You were just a little guy with your dads long monkey arms and legs. You were 5lbs 15ounces and just about 20in long. It was so great seeing you for the first time. I was so excited meeting you. You were just squirming around under this heat lamp so they could keep you warm.  I saw them give you a bath, they had to scrub a bunch of gunk off you and you didn't appreciate it that much. Then I got to hold you and man was that just awesome. You were so peaceful and just absolutely amazing. Grandma got to hold you and she was just in love. She thinks the world of you and there's no doubt she'll spoil you. Your aunt Shondra held you and your grabbed her heart from that very moment. Your Uncle Preston and Aunt Shantel couldn't make it but they saw pictures and fell in love so fast. Then my buddies and your uncles came in and they fell in love. They are my greatest friends and have helped me through so much. They will be so helpful to you and are great to talk to. I just love you so much. It's impossible to explain but I thought I knew what love was until you came and exploded my chest with love. It's such a great experience and there is nothing like it in the world. I understand so much more now how God can love us unconditionally. It's amazing son and one feeling I hope you will have the pleasure of experiencing. I love you buddy!

I love this verse. A true explanation of God's overwhelming love. I love you like crazy and yet God still loves you more. Romans 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?


Love ya,
Dad
