His Buddy

Soon after we moved over here a couple just returning from furlough came to visit. She had just gotten married, lost her mother to cancer, and was diagnosed with endometriosis, all with in 6 months of each other. She is a lovely friend who trust in the goodness of our Lord, in spite of our circumstances, and challenges. Fastforward two and a half years. She comes to our new home for a visit. She and her husband have been trying for several months to have a child, she tells me this news with full disclosure of the large possibility of their not being able to have children. I struggled when writing her to tell her of our wonderful news that we were expecting. Praise the Lord, she wrote 2 months later telling us she was also pregnant! Soon after getting pregnant though she began bleeding. When we saw her in her 5th month she was regularly spotting, and sometimes irregularly frank bleeding. As soon as she was cleared to fly they returned to her husbands home country. I remember praying for her, and her child, almost everyday since hearing of her getting pregnant. Well not without much pain and a defective epidural she delivered an almost 10lb baby boy last April (the first infant we had seen with rolls! and non diabetic), 2 months and 1 week after our little Zaky. They have now moved 45min from us and become our even closer friends. This is Zaky and his buddy James. Praise our Lord for hearing our heart and answering our prayers.
