Elisha

2 Kings 6:8-17 "Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel...He sent horses and chariots and a strong force there (to Dothan where the Israelites were camped). They went by night and surrounded the city. When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."

I am so happy to report today that Matt and I are expecting a baby BOY!! We have been blessed to have found out so early, and we are tickled pink (or blue?). Before the loss of Judah, we had chosen the name Charles Elisha for our son. With the unfortunate events of Judah's short life, we held the name for our next son. It is so funny how these things work out...and we couldn't have known why we waited to name our son after such a great man of faith, but it is so obvious to me now that this baby needed this name for MY comfort. I forget so quickly how much my God loves me and protects me. I believe that those who are with us are stronger and more powerful than anything that Satan can do. What a thought!! My God is protecting this baby with many horses and chariots...and I trust Him...No matter what His plan is!! I am not saying that I KNOW that this baby will live for me to hold and raise, but that I KNOW that my God can save his life. It is up to Him!! I am just along for the ride!!
