Thank You Lord!

Miss Evelyn Grace Sullivan
Evey

Today was a good day. Little Miss Evey got a clean bill of health. She has 12 more weeks before we get to meet her, and she is a big girl weighing in at 2.3 pounds already! She is several ounces bigger than her siblings at this age. Glad its not me! And I can not convince Valarie to name her Olivia. I reminded her that "Evelyn" is Charlies mom's name on Two and a Half Men. She doesn't care. She likes the name and Evelyn it is. For now anyway. I am not giving up until she gets here. If you have Val on your facebook friends list, send her messages with "Olivia" on it.....one word, "Olivia". Thanks.

God is good. That is all I can say besides thank you for your good thoughts and prayers regarding this baby. The doctor said there is not problem she can find. That is a good thing! And we are truly grateful!

The following is a song that Kathy sings at church sometimes. I thought the words were appropriate! He hears us when we pray, He answers prayers in His time. Sometimes we don't believe He has answered our prayers because we didn't get the answer WE wanted. He answers in His time in the way He deems is appropriate for us. He loves so much He sent His Son to die for our sins. What greater love could there be?

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD

FOR EVERY TIME YOU HEARD ME PRAY

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE

WHEN I WAS SO DOWN AND OUT

YOU CAME ALONG AND MADE ME WANT TO SHOUT

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD...THANK YOU LORD

IF I HAD A THOUSAND LIVES TO LIVE

I'D GIVE THEM ALL TO YOU LORD

HE'S BEEN SO GOOD TO ME

THAT'S THE LEAST I COULD AFFORD

HE'S MADE THE GOOD TIMES OUT NUMBER THE BAD

HE'S BEEN THE BEST FRIEND THAT I EVER HAD

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU LORD...THANK YOU LORD

There are a few things I know in this life. One is if we slack up in our serving the Lord He will get our attention in some way. I know that I love the Lord with all my heart. I don't always serve Him the way I should. I have no real excuse for it either. But He knows my heart and He knows what is on my heart and mind. He knows the obstacles I face (and yours too) and He loves us just the same.

Tobi and Bubba had a hard time today for the 2 hours Valarie was in the doctors office. I thought I would drown in all the tears! Then, we went to Barnyard Cafe and Bubba ate a lemon and he giggled and laughed and played with his food.

I think this is all for tonight. I want to say again: "thank you for any thought or prayer you put up in our behalf" for this episode and for everything in the past year + and actually any time you whispered our names in prayer we are grateful for every prayer that has ever been said!

We will try to remember you and your families in our prayers as well!

I love you all.
