Mason…

Mason is my answered prayer.  Every time I look into his eyes I am reminded of how awesome our God truly is.  

As you know, I have 2 stepchildren – Sarah and Logan.  After Logan was born, Nat made the decision to not have anymore children.  When Nat asked me to marry him, I had to ask myself a very serious question? Could I be happy not having any children of my own? 

My answer was yes because I loved Nat and his children.  I knew that I was meant to be a part of their family.  I knew that I needed them just as much as they needed me.  We married in March of 1996 and moved to Warner Robins a couple months later.  We enjoyed spending weekends and holidays with the kids.  We enjoyed the time we had to ourselves as well. 

I was extremely happy, but still their seemed to be something missing.  I started realizing that I still had that desire to have my own child.  Nat and I looked into having his surgery “reversed”.  We found out that it cost over $10,000.  We had no means of coming up with that kind of money! Even if we did, their was no guarantee it would work.  So I just gave it to God and accepted that I would not have children.  Then I put it out of my mind.

Several months later, a man that Nat works with walked up behind him at work and held out his hand over Nat’s shoulder.  In his hand was a check made out to Nat for $11,000!  He said that God spoke to him and told him to give Nat and I the money.  WOW!!! Emotional Moment!! We graciously accepted it with the intent of paying it back. However, he would not allow us to do so.  Amazing!!!

Nat had the surgery. Within 4 months we found out we were going to have a baby, and on February 23rd 1999, My little blessing was delivered.  He was perfect! I still think he is!

He looks just like me, but in every other area he is completely unique!  He has brought us so much joy.  He is a constant reminder that God sees the desires of our hearts and provides for them.  He has provided over and over for us. 

I truly believe that God has something special for Mason to accomplish.  He loves God with all his heart and soul. He is an amazing child!  I am so blessed to be his mom!
