• April 8th, Elijah’s birthday

  I had a dream when I was pregnant many years ago.  I dreamed I was wading through a frightening, muddy swamp.  I could smell the rotting vegetation and I was afraid of what I couldn’t see hidden in the mud and water. In this swamp, I was fishing.  There I caught the most beautiful, shimmering rainbow-colored fish.  I turned and ran, carrying the fish with me, fighting my way out of the mud and weeds.  I felt like someone was after me, and I ran terrified. I awoke with the realization that there was hope. I never thought something so beautiful could come out of that painful, frightening place, but it did.  And God gave me the most wonderful gift!

  Happy Birthday, Elijah!
