Will You Be Left Behind? God's precious gifts.
Hello everyone! It's been too long. I hope there are still a few out there that read this page. We only wanted to inspire someone to find Jesus.
Anyway, we have our baby boy! He was born on August 6, 2005. He weighted 9 pounds and 8 ounces. He is so beautiful. He's almost 2 months old now and 14 pounds. We named him Gabriel Simon Farrar. Gabriel for the angel, and Simon is for the man that carried the cross for Jesus. It's a hefty name to live up to but I know he will do well.
Being a new mother was and still is a rush of emotions. But the most realized emotion is how much I love this little person. My son is part of me and my husband mixed up so beautifully. I loved him before he was born, but wow, do I love him now. You see he is my first born son, and I shelter him, feed him, go to him at his first whimper. I am the only security he has right now. With all these thoughts going through my mind I had a thought...Jesus was God's first and only son. How in the world did he bear giving him up to die on the cross? I cried when Gabriel got his first shots. I couldn't fathom giving him to another family to raise only to be killed on a cross.
God is so much mightier than anything I know. To be able to give up your only son to die for the sins of others so that they might be able to live is a love so deep and broad! I love the Lord, but I have a way deeper respect for what He did for me now as a mother myself.
I decided then and there that since God had given me this precious little boy, then I had to give him back. I prayed and told God that I would keep Gabriel and love him and teach him about Jesus. I would do all I could do to "give him back" to God. All I can do is teach and hope and pray. It will be up to Gabriel and God when he reaches the age of accountability.
I hope you all are able to understand what I am trying to say. There are so many emotions I want to convey and so many things I want to get out that it's hard to start. I hope I have inspired someone today.
Please forgive us for not updating this page for so long. Our internet has gone down and I am just now able to borrow a computer. We still need your prayers as we are moving to Washington state next summer. Please also pray for our families and remember the family of Sue. She passed away in March of this year. She loved God so dearly and is now living in heaven with Him now.
Please tell everyone you can about this site. I would like to get it back to what it was when we first started. Thank you so much.
In Jesus's name,
