Happy Birthday Carter

For you created Carter's inmost being;
you knit him together in my womb.
I praise you because he is fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Carter's frame was not hidden from you
when he was made in the secret place,
when he was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw Carter's unformed body;
all the days ordained for him were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Happy Birthday to my Carter (9-22)! Our pastor said yesterday, If HE did it ALL for us, than there is no limit to what HE can ask of us! What truth! HE has chosen us to be Carter's parents, and asks us to trust HIM with his life. Although, he is a mystery to most medical doctors, his inmost being is no secret to our all knowing God. I am thankful for the continual work God is doing in my life through Carter.

He is such a JOY and a reward from God! His excitement about the little things in life is contagious! I am thankful for the way he cares for and loves others - particularly his brothers. I look forward to all the Lord has in store for our sweet son and am anxious to see how HE will be used in mighty ways! May the Lord give us the strength to raise him up in the fear of the Lord and may Carter know and understand how much he is loved and cared for not only by his family, but more importantly, by his Father in heaven!

Here are some pics from his Birthday! I am so thankful and glad family was here to celebrate with us. It's going to be sad to see them leave. We took a train ride on the Georgetown Loop, had lunch lakeside in Georgetown, got ice cream in Morrison, attended Tyler's football game, and ended at BeauJo's. He got a razor scooter, a Manning jersey, a new game, a bath robe and $$$! He can't wait to got shopping. Now, if Momma would just let him buy what he wants :) I'm way to practical for an 8 year old.
