Babies

Well, my wife gave birth to our son two days ago and all went very well.  Such an amazing wonder to see God's display of creativity in such a small package.  We had to drive 50 minutes to the hospital and by the time we arrived my wife was ready to push our son out.  Saying that we made it in the nick of time would be an understatement.  That drive was one of the most tense I have ever made.  However, all went well, our son is healthy and we are blissfully sleep deprived.  For others this same scenario isn't always a resolution of fears and anxiety.  It is only the beginning.

Today I found another blog with a link to three songs by Matt Hammitt, the lead singer of Sanctus Real.  His son Bowen needed two major heart surgeries shortly after birth.  He just had his third in March.  In response to the experience Matt wrote three songs from his troubled heart.  They are general enough that anyone can relate to the fear and anxiety in his lyrics, and be inspired by his resolve to let go and trust God.  Click on the links below to listen to his songs.  Depending on who you are you made need a box of tissue.

Prayers for Bowen
