It was 4am when the phone rang.  As I picked it up my wife was on the other end and she told me her water broke.  Our first child was a fast labor so I woke up my daughter and we headed off to the hospital.  And about 2 hours later Micah John Monda was born.  he was born at 6:17 am and my was at 33 weeks 3 days.  Micah weighed in at 4lbs. 9 1/2 ounce and was 17 1/4 inches long.  My daughter has prayed, and prayed, and prayed for this moment.  Her faith was always so strong believing God would give her a brother or sister.  It took  wife and I over 6 years to have this child and God poured out his blessing on us.
 Its interesting to see how God has brought blessing, after blessing into our lives.  I have been blown away.  Well I could right alot more but to be honest I need some rest and tomorrow I have alot of work to do.  Here is a picture.

I am really tired. Â It has all hit me at once. I guess between dealing with my resignation, traveling back and forth to the hospital multiple times, gearing up to move, deciding whether to wait or jump back into ministry, it is just wearing me down. Â
Friday my wife will be induced and will give birth to our son Micah John Monda. Â Her pregnancy will be at 34 weeks so he will have to spend some time in the NICU. Â In addition to that my mother will be here on that same day with one of my friends, and my niece and nephew. Â So while my wife is in labor I have to somehow get my mom to the hospital, and I have to pick up the moving truck that day. Â In addition to that Saturday it will be time to pack so we have to get the truck loaded and off to Missouri. Â Then I have to decide whether to drive to Missouri and fly back to get my wife or do I stay here. Â These are decision are weighing heavy on me and so is everything else. Â Sorry for the rant. Â Pray for strength right now I feel I have little but when we are weak He is strong.
