Nathan's Story

Nathan is such a gift to Tom and I from God who loves his children and blesses them when they least expect it. We were able to pick out his name. We picked out Nathanael because it means God's gift. We had so much fun announcing that we were going to be parents! Everyone was so excited for us. We found out that his due date was April 7th, 2011. So we had from February 25th-April 7th to prepare for our sweet boy. How fun it was to day dream about my son while I was trying to finish my school. But I was also concern that something would happen to us getting him.

But Nathan was also prayed for before he was even a thought in our hearts and mind. The Easter of 2010, we were at a friends house celebrating the resurrection of our Lord when our friends Dana and Brenda thought to pray for us along side with the others that were there. that God will bless us with children before the Easter of this year. I thought of that prayer a couple weeks before we were told about Nathan. I figured that it wasn't going to happen because I wasn't pregnant. But then I remembered and realized that Nathan was going to be born before Easter. How incredible. What a precious precious gift.
