Its Official

Ok its official, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ryan Lynn Clifford will enter this world July 28th 2011 via C-section. I have a strong feeling that God is going to do miraculous things with and through this little girl. She has already changed my life. I have loved the Lord for quite sometime but since learning about the difficuties that my sweet angel is facing, my desire to know, love, obey, acknowledge, and please God has increased exponentially. Some things that used to seem so important to me now appear to be so meaningless. I used to be insecure about my ability to share my faith, over the last few months I have shared the good news of Christ on a regular basis. Now I'm sharing without fear, not worrying about my deficiences but resting completely in the Holy Spirit to speak through me. I've seen people who would not give God a second thought who are now willing to read books about Jesus. This is the power we have when we give Christ complete control of our lives and Ryan has helped remind me of this truth. I'm certain that no matter the outcome, Ryan will continue to bless my life as well as those around her. Thanks again for the many prayers. Michelle and I feel so blessed by you all. With love, Jared
