Born to Praise (Jeremiah's story)

My wife Lyndsey and I have been so blessed to see how God has given our little boy a heart for worship. As many of you know, we were told in October of 2001 that it was impossible for us to ever have our own children, and then in October of 2011, almost 10 years to the date, God showed us once again that "Nothing is impossible for God!"

One of the cool things about our story, is that the night before we found out we were pregnant, the Lord gave both my wife and me prophetic dreams that we were pregnant. Then when the doctor confirmed the next morning what God had shown both of us in a dream the night before, we were overwhelmed with joy and in awe of God. Our first response to this news was to cry, and then to worship the Lord. I picked up my guitar and we both worshipped the Lord to the Chris Tomlin version of "Our God." Throughout my wife's pregnancy, she faithfully prayed for Jeremiah to be a worshipper of God, and she use to play Chris Tomlin and Jeremy Camp worship music to Jeremiah, which would cause him to dance for joy in her womb. 

It is unbelievable to us that by the time he was 18 months old he was already singing 8 different songs! Mind you, his pronunciation still needs work, but there is no doubt that he is singing and dancing his little heart out to Jesus, on songs like, Awesome God, Jesus Loves Me, The Good Song (All things work together for Good), Trust in the Lord, to name some of them.

In the following video, we were actually getting ready to sit Jeremiah down to read before his nap, but Chris Tomlin's song, Our God, came on the music channel, and Jeremiah couldn't help himself. He burst out singing and dancing, and it blessed us so much that we wanted to share it with you to hopefully put a smile on your face. 

We also hope that as you remember Jeremiah's story, that you will know that His God "is Healer" and that his God is "Awesome in Power", and his God is real, and wants to show Himself strong on your behalf, just as He has shown Himself strong on our behalf.

If this video encourages you, please pass it on. :)
