Bethany Community Church

On April 13th at about noon I received a phone call.  The person on the other line asked me if I was the one who adopted the Jackson children, to which I replied yes.  She then informed me that “they had another one” and she “was wondering if you would like to take this one as well.”  I was shocked.  So I asked, “Really?” At this point the question becomes what do we do, be content in our family or follow the vision that God has given Karmin and me in regards to our family.  So I told the caseworker, “Well I haven’t talked with my wife, but sure”.  Are you kidding me?  In a two minute conversation I just signed myself up for spit up, dirty diapers, and 3 am feedings.  Karmin and I had our plans of having two boys and God gave us Kaleb and Becky.  Karmin and I had our plans of having older kids, but God gave us a one week old.  Every time I think that I have a plan in place and know what is going to happen God changes everything up.  God reveled to us the next level of his vision for us.  Jacob Theodore William is now six pounds 8 ounces, and full of energy.  Kaleb and Becky love being older siblings and always want to change the diaper, hold him and feed him.  He has been a wonderful addition to our family.  Thank you to all of you who have brought over clothing, baby accessories, food and thank you to all of you for your prayers.  It is appreciated.
