    WooHoo! Praise God that Canaan is here and healthy - and we ARE praying for Debra. My prayer for Debra is that these words from John 16:21 will become true - quickly! - in her, body, mind and soul - “Whenever a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come, but when she gives birth to the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been born into the world.”
    Bless you ALL!

    You are a trooper Debra! We don’t know all the details, but 1 hr and 45 minutes of pushing is NOT fun, not that you need to be told that. Have been praying and are continuing in prayer!. Thankful for the Best General ever…oh and Norm’s pretty good too. We are so glad you are here Canaan! The first night seems to be one of the few you actually get to sleep. I pray you get a lot of it! We love you! Jinni for the Shafers
