Jacob West born 03/31/09 (Moderator's son)

Dear Saints,

Our new son, Jacob Nathanael West, was born 03/31/2009 7 lbs. 12 oz. 21 inches, strong, alert, and healthy. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely gift from our Father. My wife and I are elated, overflowing with thanksgiving and love. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one in these forums who answered the burden of God to pray for Marissa during her turbulent pregnancy. At one point, the hyperemesis from which she was suffering was so great that it caused her to be hospitalized for a week and have her gall bladder removed.

But praise God, all ended well, and we now have a healthy baby boy who will be afforded the luxury of being raised in the admonition of the Lord and the milk of the Word to the glory of Jesus Christ. God bless you all, and thank you for your prayers!

Brother Paul

Congratulations Paul, all the best to you and your family, I pray the Lord's blessing on all of you.

Congratulations Paul and Marissa! After seeing this picture, Libby, my wife, said Jacob is one of the cutest babies she's ever seen! He has a handsome head of hair on him already!

Praise the Lord! Congrats my brother. Many blessings to you, your wife and your new son.

Dear Paul & Marissa,

What a wonderful sight. That is a beautiful baby!

Prayers were answered with a resounding, "YES." Thank you Lord! All the Glory goes to Jesus.

Kindest regards,

Congratulations!

May God continue to bless you and your family.

Wonderful to be speechless.

Saw this early this morning brother ... All I could do was to stare and smile

My wife and I are elated, overflowing with thanksgiving and love.

Rom 12:15

:-) Praise God dear brother.

[i]Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.[/i]
(Psalm 127:3-5)

May God grant you wisdom and grace in forming and fashioning this little arrow to be straight and true so that the Lord may take and shoot him right into the heart of the enemy.

In Christ,

Ron

He is sooo cute! God bless y'all.

Did you ever think about the fact that this [now] little fellow will live forever - somewhere?

Take care and blessings to you and your wife!

My dear brother Paul. I am so happy for you and your wife. May God continue to bless you and your family my friend.

Congratulations, Paul and Marissa!

How beautiful! As my wife said, "¡[i]Ay, Que Chulo[/i]!" (a Spanish phrase which loosely translates to "Oh how cute!"). It really makes us want to have one of our own soon.

We will be remembering Mom, Dad and Baby in prayer!

:-)

How very precious. Oh praise the Lord for the blessings that He pours forth upon His children.

"The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel."
- Isaiah 9:8

Congratulations Paul!
