Hello Jim, Pastor Jerry, everyone....

This is Courtney, I wanted to check in since we finally got internet access. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Everything is going well for us, Tyler just started preschool, so things have been much easier having just one and a half kids around. We are no longer struggling, which is awesome. It's funny that God has been making His presence obvious in my life. As a teen, for some reason I don't know, I couldn't wait to turn 23, not only did I believe 23 was the perfect age to get married, but I knew great things would happen. And then, last summer I was having alot of issues that I was positive would be resolved once we were married. Well, I'm 23 now, married, my marriage is going great, we are financially secure now, have absolutely nothing to worry about, our kids are great, and we finally are expecting the child we have been praying for. I knew last summer that everything would fall into place as soon as I told God I was totally surrendering myself to Him then and there. It is great. There is a but... I am forever thankful for this miracle baby, however I desperately need a prayer for him that God will allow him to safely come into this world alive and thriving. There is a problem with his umbilical cord that can cause a clot to form and if it gets big enough, will cut off life support. Because of this, I will be having frequent ultrasounds and the baby is going to have to be born between 28 and 35 weeks ( I am now 4 weeks which is roughly 6 months). So if you could all pray for me, I would really appreciate it. Again, Happy Thanksgiving and I hope all are doing well.

Courtney,

   I can't tell you how happy I am that things are working out so well for you.  You and your family are very special.  You deserve the best.  I am super thrilled that your relationship with God is becoming a more major part of your life.  May He continue to richly bless you as you seek Him.

   Blessings,   Pastor Jerry

Thank you for getting back...I was actually thinking about calling you to see if we could maybe set up a phone conference, because things got worse and I need to talk to someone who is as close to God as possible and you were one of the first to come to my mind.. I have been pretty much inconsolable for the past few days and will be spending the next few weeks 3 hours from home in San Antonio....It seems that God has decided to test me again, and I really need some support.....
