This is Noah.

This is Noah. He's is 3. Noah is Jeffrey's newest nephew, but not for long. You see Noah's mommy has a dream, to have lots of little children. But kind of like Hannah in the Bible, she couldn't. She had Noah, and we all love him. Well...he's warming up to me-we made Jesus a birthday cake at Christmas and now we're good friends. For a little while Noah's mommy was sad. And we are were too. She told me today that her sadness consumed her. We all noticed that she was sad, but we didn't know what to do. One night at church God told me to go pray for her. But I didn't. I wasn't very close to her at the time. I felt like she didn't need me. But finally after hearing it every time I saw her I finally did. I prayed that God would bring Noah's mommy a baby, even if it wasn't her's biologically and I told God that the whole family would love this new baby.
Well, we've been waiting and just the other day we heard some good news. There was a girl who loved a baby so much that even though she didn't want to raise it, she decided to let it grow inside her and then give it away for some one else to love. Well God had given Noah's mommy some really good Dr. friends, and they talked to that girl and Noah's mommy. Noah's mommy wrote a letter to the girl and told her all about how everyone of us love that baby that's growing inside of her. But that girl wasn't sure she wanted to know who was going to love that baby.
So Noah's mommy was kind-of sad, but she just kept Delighting herself in Jesus. Then this morning, I got a text message. Jesus had spoken to that girls heart, she might not know it yet-but I do, and she decided that she wanted that baby inside of her to be loved by Noah's mommy and daddy. Noah's mommy had to tell some one, and I was the first to know!! The funny thing is, that this morning I felt like I was suppose to call Noah's mommy and remind her to Delight herself in Jesus. But she didn't need me, because she had already realized that Jesus had everything in control. And that's what Jesus did. Because Noah's mommy was delighted in Jesus-even when she could have been sad- she is going to be a mommy again in April!!

All of us are very excited, but not just because Noah is getting a new brother or sister, but because Jesus loves us so much that when we are truly delighted with Him-He gives us good gifts. I hope that one day I can meet that girl who chose to let Noah's new sibling grow inside her and I can tell her how much she helped this family even though she doesn't know it. Because you see, this baby has taught me that if we believe and act on what God speaks to our heart-eventually He will use it. I'd like to think that my prayer for Noah's mommy was the turning point in this story,but it probably isn't. Either way this baby, even though we haven't met, has helped bring me and Noah's mommy closer together!! Now we are like sisters, where before we weren't. I can't contain my happiness-so I wanted to share it with you!

Jesus delights in us when we Delight in Him!
