Gift From 316: Show them Jesus

Michael Jesse

On October 13th, 2009 we found out that our unborn baby, who we now know as Michael Jesse, was diagnosed with Bilateral Renal Agenesis, otherwise known as Potter's Syndrome, a fatal condition. Michael came into our world and left for heaven on January 22nd, 2010, but not without impacting hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of people by his short, little life.

Michael was the gift God brought into our lives in room 316. Our desire for this blog is to bring glory to God for knitting together such a beautiful life. You will find the journey which we have been on since October 13th, 2009, with all of our prayer requests and our personal reflections. The story of this journey has not ended, for as Michael dances in Heaven, we await to be reunited with him in glory.

To start at the beginning, below are the first posts we wrote about Michael:

Show them Jesus

Our prayers for all of our children have been that they would know Jesus and share Jesus. Our prayers for our fourth child are no different - Show them Jesus, little one.

Join us in prayer that this little one's life will be transparent to the God who created him/her and that many will come to faith and be drawn nearer to the God whose love for us is inseparable and incomparable. Show them Jesus, little one. Show them Jesus.
