Congratulations!!

Ijust got an email from some friends of mine in Abbotsford announcing the arrival of their little boy. Yay! Here's what it says:


We are delighted to announce the arrival of Josiah Johannes Prang! Josiah which means "God Heals" was Israel's youngest King and it is our prayer that our son will also live with the passion and humility to seek God's will in this day and age to bring about positive change. Johannes is Cliff's middle name as he was named after his father and opa. Cliff affectionately calls him Jo-Jo.
He joined us at 9:37PM on April 25th. He was 9 lbs, 5 oz and 56 cm long – apparently these measurements surpass the average newborn, so we’re very proud to already have an "exceptional" child.

Things didn’t quite start as we had anticipated (i.e. he was 11 days overdue and I had to have my labor induced), but 11 hours after it began, we witnessed a miracle which eclipsed any expectations or hopes we had. It’s still so hard to believe that we are parents – we’re both pretty blown away that "we have a son".

Thank you so much for your love and prayers. The outpouring of support for us over the past weeks has been overwhelming and we’re so blessed to have amazing friends and family such as yourselves. We look forward to introducing Josiah to you soon – if you’re in the area, please feel free to give us a call and we’d love to have you over.

We give glory to God for His amazing gift of life and ask that you join us in praying that we are able to raise this beautiful child in a way that is honoring to Him.
Much love,
Cliff and Sharalee

Who says that miracles don't happen!? God is good.

For the record, I don't normally post emails that people send me. I do try to respect people's privacy and such. This was just so darn exciting!!!
