Please pray for Mattie & Anthony
« on: September 26, 2009, 08:38:16 PM »
This couple, although not related to us by blood or marriage, is absolutely family to us! - we have known him since he was a wee boy, and Mattie was in high school when we met her.  He is the son of Steve's BFF, who passed away many years ago, and left a hole in all our lives.  Anthony has always looked to Steve for guidance, and they are very close.

Found out today that Mattie is pregnant!! - joyful news under any circumstances but especially so in light of many things:  this will be a VERY high-risk pregnancy.  She is 38, significantly overweight, a diabetic (just diagnosed last year), and has a history of several miscarriages.  She is at 11 weeks, so I'm feeling more optimistic, but she did once carry to 12 weeks before losing the baby.

These young people would be the greatest parents!!............they have so much good to give, and have wanted a child for years & years!!  Steve, Sam & I are all thrilled with this news, but I can't help worrying, and thinking how poor Mattie probably feels as if she will be walking on eggshells for the next 6 months, wondering if she's going to lose this bbay, too.

Everyone, please pray for them, that God sees fit to let her carry this baby to term, and let them pour all their hearts & souls into loving this precious gift from their Heavenly Father!!

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Mattie and Anth are spending the weekend close by here, camping at a state park during early muzzle-loading season, and they were here for dinner last night.  Oh guys - she looks better than I have EVER seen her!! - I just wanted to practically cry for joy.  And it's not just her physical appearance - she's the same woman, but with so much more spirit & spark, like a joy and a quiet confidence, and it's all due to this baby she's carrying.  She's at 14 weeks now & is doing very well.  She said her OB told her she had done the hard part; GETTING pregnant, and that she, the OB, could KEEP her pregnant.  I'm praying that's the case, and with God's help, she can fulfill this dream that has been denied them for so long.

PLEASE keep your prayers coming for them!!!!  :grouphugg:

Alexis is about 3 1/2 months old, and her parents are still grinning like possums - they are so in love with their little baby daughter.  Again, thank you, Lord, for giving them this gift, and thank everyone who prayed for them during the pregnancy!
