“I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” 1 Samuel 1:27-28
We are SO happy to announce that our son, Logan Kou (it means “light” in Japanese), is here! He arrived 5 weeks early but God protected both mommy and baby. A big thank you to those who prayed for us! Luke has been such an awesome big brother. He loves to kiss and hold Logan and it melts our hearts to see him love on his little brother.
Logan was in the NICU for a short period of time and we realized life is a true miracle and blessing from God. We saw many babies that were fighting to survive and also the doctors and parents that were doing everything they could to help them. We should never take our lives for granted. As we thanked God for our baby boy, we prayed for those babies and parents who were going through such a difficult time. God taught us so many important lessons through this experience.
Recently, the verses for our Sunday School lesson were from Jeremiah 1. It says:
The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”“Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 1: 4-8
We are so thankful that our almighty God knew Logan before he was formed in the womb and He is with him and will rescue him wherever he goes. We pray Logan will come to know Him and go wherever He commands him. We love you, Logan, and we are so blessed to have you as our son!
