Jackson decided after watching Jacob for a few weeks that he was finally ready to pull up. I was starting to get worried about him. I was at praise team practice one night and I had been worried about Jackson. That day a woman had called and scheduled an appointment with me for an early intervention program for the next day to have Jackson evaluated. Justin was at home with the boys and we had just started singing "Rooftops". I was supposed to sing the solo. I was already extremely emotional because this is a very special song to me. This song was sang Easter Sunday of 2012 which was just a couple days after the boys were born. Justin and I decided that day that even though the boys were in the NICU we needed to go to church. That song just spoke so deeply me to that morning and then again this night at practice while dealing with the stress of worrying about Jackson. One of my favorite lines is "all that I am I place into your loving hands." Every time I would sing that line I would just place my children and everything pertaining to them in the Lord's hands. So as we are singing the song Justin sends me a picture of Jackson standing up in his bed and said, "he just pulled himself up." I literally doubled over crying, sobbing at the goodness of the Lord. I handed the situation over to the Lord and He just took care of it all. I struggled and prayed all night of whether or not to cancel the appointment the next morning for Jackson. By 8am the next morning I received a call and they cancelled on me...well they would have rescheduled but I told them it was no longer necessary. I am telling you God is so good and so concerned with every area of our lives but we truly have to trust in Him and place everything in His hands. Then we can step back and watch him take care of everything. I am just so overwhelmed even now, almost a year later, at how awesome my God was in this situation.

You can barely see it but the purple-blue thing laying in front of Jackson was a balloon that popped right in front of Jackson when he was playing with it. At first he was fine. |
