Our Baby Xavier



Xavier Samuel Timm

It has been a long time comin' and finally one of the most beautiful days of my life happened.  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:46 a.m. my son, Xavier, was born.  God knew what He was doing when He knit together this little baby boy.  Xavier weighed 8lbs. 4oz.  He is completely healthy and I had no complications giving birth.  Actually I have a great testimony about giving birth to him.  I was introduced to this book entitled "Supernatural Childbirth" by Jackie Mize.  It talks about believing God for no complications, healthy baby and healthy mother.  It also raises the bar of faith to actually believe God for no pain, tearing and to deliver the baby without any pain medication of any kind.  Sounds crazy right?  Well, I thought differently and I started believing God for everything the book talked about, yes, even a pain free delivery.  I mean, we are talking about a God who healed the blind, mute and deaf.  He even brought people back to life again.  Why not believe for a pain free delivery?  Why keep God in a box?
 
The nurses told me I had bragging rights so here I go.........
Well, I had a BEAUTIFUL experience giving birth to Xavier.  The doctor was great, the nurses were all that and more.  Most of all, I have a very supportive husband that stood by my side and helped me every little step of the way.  I did feel the contractions but it was not that bad.  I had to work hard pushing Xavier out but I never once felt like I was going to die, much like the horror stories you here about pushing a baby out.  I did it all without any pain medication of any kind, I didn't even have an I.V. to keep me hydrated.  I just drank water and ate ice cubes:)
Just ask Eric, it was amazing!  The nurses said they had never seen anything like it and that in all there years they had never seen anyone as calm and in control as I was.  I was so calm that I fell asleep between pushes.  God was truly with me.  I was at peace and I was WITHOUT fear.  
 
And when our little Xavier came out the world froze.  All time stopped and that moment was all there was.  There was nothing like it and there will never be anything like it I am convinced of that.  The doctor placed him on my chest and I sang to him a song that he would be familiar with because I sang it all through my pregnancy.  "Sweep over my soul, sweep over my soul.  Sweet spirit sweep over my soul.  My rest is complete as I sit at your feet.  Sweet spirit, sweep over my soul."  His big, beautiful blue eyes stared back at me and he was so peaceful, he knew my voice, he knew that song.  It was an amazing bonding time!  Daddy Eric was mesmerized and in awe.

There is so much more to tell but I will save it for another day.  Thank you to all who prayed for us and the arrival of our little one.

OH THE MIND OF A CHILD

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.

The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'

The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.
