We're Home

 

My boy.

Well, we're home now and we've had a good day. It's funny the things you get excited about with a newborn... We jumped for joy when we saw his dirty diaper this afternoon! i know, it's crazy, but you just want assurance that everything is working and that's a big indicator!

Anyhow, he's doing great and Jill is feeling better everyday. It will take her a little while to get back up to par, but in the meantime her mom and I are taking good care of her!

Thanks again for all your prayers. For more pictures of Jack, click the yovis picasa link.

Baby Jack...

Praise God!

well, i found internet access in our hospital room... so i've decided to give you the first entry on the baby situation! He's here and he's a healthy baby boy! Jackson Davis Yoho arrived at 2:17 am after something like 30 hours of labor... but who's counting?!!? He stands (lays) at 22" long and weighs in at 8 lbs. 13.5 ounces. And, if i do say so myself, he is quite a handsome boy. You'll have to take my word for it though... i don't have any pics uploaded yet...

If you have seen John's blog latley, see link to yohoster, then you'll know the kind of party that took place in the waiting room! What a blessing to have so many family and friends gathered in support, I know these and many more were praying for us during this time.

We are thrilled to have this beautiful boy as an addition to our family... GOD is soo good. He has blessed us beyond measure!

Well, it's been a very long and special day... Jill is trying to get some well-deserved rest. I am so proud of my wife... what she did today was nothing short of amazing.

i'd better get some rest too... so, more to come!!!

thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to lift up Jill as she recovers and Jack as he grows!

Fatherhood is already great!

much love,

God's calling...

It's been a long time since my last posting, but it's time to update those faithful blog-checkers on what's been happening in my life... I am making an attempt to keep this up to date as life goes on!

This past sunday during worship service, I answered God's call on my life to enter the ministry! The Holy Spirit's leading was undeniable and I could not stand in place any longer. I felt God's leading to tell my church family of His calling on my life. What a relief! God put this on my heart (and Jill's) about a year ago, but I had put it off trying to make sense of it in my own head. What a mistake, I had convinced myself that this couldn't be God's timing becasue of all the other things happening right now. It's a funny thing... when WE think we have God figured out, HE shows us that we don't and we can't! Once I convinced myself this wasn't going to happen, GOD renewed the calling and made it undeniable. There was no question what He wanted me to do... doing anything else would be blatent disobedience. God is so good. Even through my doubt and lack of faith, he continued to reveal His plans for me. Praise Him for not giving up on me!

Over the past year, Jill and I committed to praying over this and waiting to hear a confirming... GO! Well, clear confirmation came Sunday during service and my heart is overjoyed! I am looking forward to what God has in store for us. We desire obedience in our lives to go and do whatever He calls us. Please pray for us as we begin this journey of life together. Pray that we would continue in obedience and that God would increase our faith and trust in Him! It's all in His hands... everything... What's next? I don't know... God does. Thankfully, He'll prepare and equip us for it.

There is nothing better than family, and church family... After service, Jill and I were met with tears of joy, hugs and many many encouraging words by our family in Christ!
