And then there was 7........

" Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez saying I gave birth to him in pain. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request.
1 chronicles 4:9


Our God continues to amaze me. so on Monday i got out one of the many books iam trying to finish called The Prayer of Jabez. I looove the book, it breaks down the prayer found in 1 chronicles and helps you understand what it means. as iam reading i come across this " Suppose Jabez had been a wife and a mother. Then the prayer might have gone like this LORD, ADD TO MY FAMILY, FAVOR MY KEY RELATIONSHIPS, MULTIPLY FOR YOUR GLORY THE INFLUENCE OF MY HOUSEHOLD". ( dont you just love that). so as my day goes on iam praying that he would Favor my key relationships, multiply my influence of my household and enlarge my territory, add to my family. That night, Brian and I go to our Bi-monthly training and guess what.... We are asked to take a 6yr old in for a while..... WOW.... talk about a quick answer to prayer... so here is our new addition to team waymire


We love him so much already. Today on the way home he asked me what i was and i said " i don't know, what are you" he said " iam black folk" and then said " yeah i think i am to" then he said " yeah maybe a little bit".... Then at dinner he asked if he could call me mommy... this boy already has my heart
