Memories and a Very Happy Birthday!
So today is my niece Autumn's 5th Birthday! Wow! Just 5 years ago we were praying for God to save her little life! We are SO thankful God answers prayers and can still perform miracles, cause that is exactly what you are! Happy Birthday Autumn you are precious and I love you dearly!

From my blog the day Autumn was born:
"You are SO little... 2lbs 14oz. Wow! I bet you could fit in my hand... Woke up, thought I was late for work. Nope little Autumn was disrupting my sleep. Why couldn't you wait a couple more weeks? Your too little to be in this big world! You gotta get strong! You gotta grow really big! You have to fight! That's all you've done... Fight. Your getting pretty good at it. I said a prayer for you. In fact I said them till I went to work. I am saying them now. 4:20AM is too early. I knew I wouldn't go back to sleep. Not after that. You gotta get well for everyone. We all want to meet you and see you grow up big and strong! How is it that you can love someone you've never met? Well it's amazing! I love that little girl! No matter what happens I know God is in control...
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen"
and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God
Who gives and takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God
Who gives and takes away
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth"
