A LONG AWAITED ARRIVAL
News Flash -- Ethan William Houston was born at 8:31 AM 7lbs 7 ozs. 19 1/2"
"For You formed by inward parts; You weaved me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them." Psalm 139:13-16
Last night was a very long night! Today our fifth grandchild will be born around 8:00 AM! We are so excited and looking forward to meeting this wonderful new gift that has been given to Julie and Garrett, and their daughter Emma Grace.
For the past nine months, the God of the universe, the One who holds the universe together "by the word of His power,", the One who made the stars and knows them all by name (and we are just starting to find them!), the One who sees when every sparrow falls - has been "knitting and forming" my new grandson in Julie's womb!
There are some who believe that this fetus - this new life formed and fashioned by God in the womb is really not life until it is birthed.
Well you and I know that they are wrong! While Julie and Garrett were given the beautiful God-give privilege of enjoying the process of starting the baby's journey, God has been an work shaping every part of him, and today His work is complete - I can't wait to meet him!
Yesterday was a special day for our Keswick family. We have been praying for the niece of one of our staff members who was scheduled yesterday to have an abortion. After much prayer, this 19 year-old girl decided she will keep the baby! Praise the Lord.
Today is just the beginning of a new adventure for Julie and Garrett!
They will receive a wonderful gift from the Lord! Now comes the fun.
They have the joy and privilege of caring for him, and our prayer is that one day soon, he will come to trust Christ as His Savior! -- Bill Welte is the President and CEO of America's KESWICK and the general editor of Freedom Fighters.
Great Quote: Sound Bible exposition is an imperative must in the Church of the Living God. Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever.
