God is always faithful...
Over the past 2 1/2 years my wife and I have been trying to have a baby. With no luck we'be been through numerous tests of infertility to find out I had issues with my "boys." (catch my drift.) Ten months ago from July 1st to be exact, RIch, Ben and I decided to fly out to Bethel Church in California where a revival culture is being established in the area because of all the wonderful things the Lord is doing through people. While we we're out there I had a lady "prophesy" or give me a "word of knowledge" about my life and she said "I beleive you and your wife will conceive in 10 months." I thought okay I'll receive this by faith and ask the Lord. So after we all got back from Cali three weeks went by and I got a call from this lady. She wanted to call and remind me of the word. I immediately asked if she called everyone she prayed for to follow up and she said "no, I feel so strongly about this word for you." Lauren and I have surrounded ourselves around prayer warriors and have travailed in prayer and asked God to heal. Through many series of events we felt like the Lord was leading us to do (IVF) which is like a really intense medical procedure that makes people pregnant. So long story short, July 1st roles around this past Tuesday, Lauren takes a pregnancy test before we go to start IVF the next day and she finds out she's pregnant on July 1st (which is 10 months to the day!) Needless to say, we didn't do the IVF and I am overwhelmed with the Lord and His faithfulness in our lives. How good is He. Jesus, whew!
congrats man...that is so awesome.

David, oh, many, many happy thoughts to you and Lauren. We are so happy for you and can I just say, that I too am blessed by the witness of God's faithfulness. It is fresh rain on a struggling soul today.
Keep singing God's praises.

Dear David and Lauren,
The Bible clearly states that Children are a blessing of the Lord, so I know you have other items that you would list as a blessing, but I just wanted you to know that you can certainly say this is a blessing, even at this stage, because the Word says so.
I pray the next nine months will continue to provide daily blessings, and that the years to come you both will continue the discovery of God's richness. I am pleased, excited and THANKFUL to God for His blessings upon your life.
