Our Journey Begins-
As Paul began to grow,
it became more and more
obvious to me that Paul
had something wrong. The
first thing I noticed was
that Paul had something
wrong with his eyes, he didn’t look directly at Jad or me.
Most of the time when you nurse or feed a baby, they
watch you. They look into your eyes as you talk to them, but
Paul never did. Then the second thing I noticed was that he
didn’t keep up with his milestones such as sitting, rolling,
playing with toys and other children as a normal child would
do. Jad and I lived in an apartment near two other couples
that also attended Hyles-Anderson College. Their babies were
doing far more than Paul was. I became very concerned about
Paul and could see that Paul just wasn’t keeping up with
other children. Whenever we would take him to the
pediatrician, I always dreaded it because he was always behind
the curve. The nurse would ask the same mounds of questions
that the pediatrician doctor would ask, such as, Does Paul sit
up by himself? Can Paul roll over? Has Paul ever tried to pull
up toa stand?...on and on. Paul wasn’t doing any of these
things, or if he was, he was way behind compared to the other
children. Jad would always tell me, give Paul time he will
catch up to the other children, but in my heart I knew
something was definitely wrong…
Genesis 33:12
And He said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
will go before thee.
God Bless You,
