In the last few days before my dear grandfathers death he prayed a prayer over each member of his family. When he came to Jason and I he prayed saying, "may their quiver be full". Psalms 127 says, "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warrior's hands. How happy is the man whose quiver is full of them!" In the days my grandfather spoke these words he was closer to Jesus than I have ever been. He was making his way to Jesus. Transitioning from the life he had known to his eternal life with Christ. To me Papa's prayer was not one to take lightly. When we walked into our home after my Papa's funeral we decided it was time to "make our quiver full" and have our first child. Today I am still believing in my grandfather's prayer. Little did I know it would take so long. My faith hasn't been perfect, but without God I would have given up. He is my rock and fortress in our time of trial. I have decided to start recording my thoughts, struggles and prayers on this blog. It was not without great struggle to decide to expose our heartaches and joys on this blog. Below is a video that reflects on the life of my beloved Papa.
Thanks to the many hands that are supporting our dream to have a child!

UFF DA! I CRIED THE ENTIRE WAY THROUGH YOUR JOURNALING, KRYSTAL. OF COURSE, ENDING WITH THE PICTURE/VIDEOS OF PAPA AND AND YOUR DECSION AS A COUPLE TO BEGIN YOUR FAMILY DURING THAT SEPT. OF 2006 WAS ENLIGHTENING AND MOVING.
I ALLOWED THE TEARS TO FLOW. GOD IS IN THE BUSINESS OF HEALING AND RESTORING.
WE HAVE SO MUCH HISTORY AND SO MANY PRAYERS HAVE ACCUMULATED BEFORE THE FATHER OVER EACH OF US AND OVER EACH OF YOU, THE GRANDCHILDREN. GOD IS FAITHFUL. HE IS A GOOD GOD. HE NEVER DOES LEAVE OR FORSAKE US, DOES HE? HE IS WALKING WITH YOU GUYS EACH STEP OF THE WAY. YOUR CHILD HAS ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE MIND AND HEART OF GOD...BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN. WOW. WHAT A CONCEPT. WE ARE WITH YOU TOO, MY DEAR. YOUR GODPARENTS, TIM AND MONICA.
I know I live so far away, and didn't get to see Papa as much as you, but I MISS him. I cried like usual through this whole video. Thanks for posting
love and hugs, we are behind you 100% of the way
