Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice!

Thanks for Rejoicing with us!!!! I can't say how much we have loved reading your comments, messages and emails! It's like having a room full of people loving on us and smiling and laughing and praying words of thanksgiving to our wonderful Lord! Thank you!!
We set up the baby bed last night... Thanks "Aunt Nicole"!!! I can't wait to show you pic's of the nursery. I can't believe I'm having a son!!!! (Dan got out all the baby NC Tarheel and baby NY Yankees stuff we have for the baby... I couldn't help but think about the fact that I need to remember how to keep an open hand when it comes to my child's life each time it runs onto a sports field and I'm tempted to fear. I still can't see how you momma's do it when it comes to football...goodness!)
We love you all and we're so blessed to have each of you in our lives. And Please continue to pray for Asher!

Just now hearing the news...Casey! I've prayed so hard for you and that precious little boy!!! I wish you could meet my brother and his wife and their little William. He was born 18 weeks premature at only 1 lb. and 4 oz. Every complication known to happen to the severely premature happened to that poor little boy! The doctors repeatedly advised taking him off life support saying he would be a vegetable if he lived. But they fought as you guys are doing! Yet they pressed harder. Because they had no insurance the hospital called a special ethics board to review his case and asked social services to step in and legally remove him from his parents care so THEY could pull the plug on him!!! Needless to say they met with some pretty big attorneys who ended that discussion!! To make a long story short, my precious little nephew is now 7 years old and swallows his own food and drink, laughs and expresses emotions, knows his parents and lights up when his Grandpa comes into the room. No he will never walk or talk, or score any home runs but he completely lights up our lives and is a total delight! And he is hardly by definition a "vegetable"!! Those doctors were so wrong about him and we along with his 3 little brothers are so proud to have him around! His life was soooo worth fighting for!! So kudos to you for taking a stand for life!! I love you, Girl!

I am delighted with God and all His surprises and mercies! He is a Master Designer and wonderful Creator! He isn't finished with this little miracle yet...when He is, we will see a tiny person that He is very pleased with and proud of! How exciting to get such wonderful news! We won't quit praying for Asher and praising our wonderful creative God! Can't wait to meet the little guy! Love to all, Sheila

Love the new "Asher" look of your blog! With a son of my own, I know that you are having several floods of joy throughout the day and may even be finding yourself saying the words "son" and "boy" over and over again, as if it saying it will let it completely sink in that you are the Mother of baby boy :o)

Rejoicing with you still!

By the way, my boy is five and I don't know how those football mama's do it either :o) God bless `em!

[Kelly B]

Dan and Casey, I can't tell you how excited I was when I got the note yesterday saying that you had updated the blog. I knew that we'd finally know how to pray for "baby chapel" by name. And what a wonderful name! Blessed, Happy. Two things that I have always thought of when I think about you two guys :) I'm continuing to pray for your and Dan's strength going through the next few weeks as you prepare for Asher to come and for him to come home!!!!!!

I'm thankful for how I've seen God's amazing grace covering the both of you. your faith has proven true again and again, even though i am sure it has been through much tears and pain. you are a blessing to every single person that is a reader of your blog and to the body of christ. we love you guys and are excited to see how God continues to thrill us with himself in the way He works wonders!
