Happy 10th Birthday Jay!

Happy Birthday to my sweet Baby Jay!


"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...."
-Jeremiah 1:5

God had big plans for my baby boy and begun working in his life before he was even born. God's plan was for Jay to be different to make a difference. In his five short years on earth, Jay was set apart for God and marked with a purpose.

A divine purpose that continues to live on......


Baby Jay,

It's hard to believe you would have been TEN today! Mommy, Daddy, Sissy and Tanner miss you more and more every day. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you, talk about you and long for the day we will all be together again.

Love you, love you my sweet boy.....

Mommy

  9. Know that the Lord is always with you, wrapping His loving arms around you and holding on tight!
    Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

    Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
