a simple prayer


aj had his biggest "blow out" today. the poop was coming out of his diaper near the belly button, both legs, and the back. i did not know such was possible in a 6 1/2 week old baby. a precious baby. i have always been known to have a strong stomach and be able to talk about and see anything at anytime. not recently.

my prayers during this cleanup where hard core. stuff was in my throat, but aj no longer has poopie on him. there are tons of prayers that i whisper with aj everyday from"get me through this poopie" to "i pray he be such a Godly man". never has my prayer life been more different than with aj's birth, and i have a feeling it is going to continue to change. just thought i would share this simple prayer with you today.

(the picture above is aj praising Jesus in his sleep. my prayers are already working.)

Pistol - You are a great blogger! I have showed a bunch of the people here (in Seoul) "AJ's Blog"...with a tear (or 2 or 3) in my eyes. Some of these folks are getting a first "picture" of Christ through you and Adam, and AJ, via this blog. Keep it up, Pistol! I love you, and Adam, and AJ, so very much. And I could not have a heart full of more of the right kind of pride.... Rock.

Taylor and especially Trevor virtually created my prayer life - and yes prayers will continue and not to scare you, but come teenage years your prayer life will reach levels you didn't know you could go. Praying constantly and aloud for AJ is the best habit you could be developing!! We used to rate those blowouts according to how many wipes we had to use (man, this one is a 6 wiper!) Love you guys.
