He knows the plans He has for you...

As Jeff and I continued to accept that Brayden had cystic fibrosis, we both had a very strong feeling that Brayden's life was going to be one of great significance.  We moved beyond questioning God to really trusting him, and knowing that He had a perfect plan for Brayden.  I don't remember the exact date, but it was sometime around when Brayden was 3 months, I was driving home one day when a song came on the radio. The song is called "The Words I Would Say" and it is by Sidewalk Prophets.  I hadn't heard the song since before Brayden was born, and I remembered that I used to sing that song to him while he was still in my belly.

I sang it to him then because I liked the message, and I loved the song. But, as I heard the song again that day it took on an entirely new meaning.  Those words I sang to him before he was born, I had no idea just how true they would ring for his precious little life.  I'm glad I was almost home when it came on because the tears were a floodin' and my hands were up in the air as God reaffirmed to me that He had a special plan for Brayden's life.  This has become one of my favorite songs and will continue to hold a special place in my heart as sort of a theme song for BZ.  If you don't know the song, here ya go:

The Words I Would Say

And because I'm super sappy, and love music, this has become another song I truly love and sing to BZ often, and will cherish for a long time comin': Come to Me - Celine Dion
