#HappyAuntRant

Prepare yourself for a #HappyAuntRant. Alright, I am an aunt. Honestly, I never thought that one day I would be one, but BOY am I loving it! Having babysat a LOT of kids, I have earned my fair share of baby badges. Kid covered in permanent marker? I got the badge and cleaned the mess. Baby fingers knotted in hair? I am practically immune now. Dirty diaper? I lost count of how many of those I cleaned. Anyways... the best part of being an aunt is that I get to choose if I want to suffer through any of those things I just shared! LOL

I get to love and cuddle my little nephew. I get to cover him in kisses (I have to say, he has the CUTEST chubby cheeks), then when I'm done, I get to give him back to his parents.

Although I am ecstatic, there are moments when I think back on the process that we went through with Little V, what the family went through, the 24-hour prayer wall that we set up for the twins, and most importantly, the travail and process the nurses in the NICU went through.

While I am celebrating, the nurses are missing little David. They took care of him for 4 months, saw him through the worst of times, brought him up to health, and once he was finally at the point where he could be a "normal" baby, he was gone.

I know, for myself, when I travail in ministry for someone, it hurts if they just suddenly walk away, let alone going into a job knowing this will happen again and again. I don't think I could do what they do.

That is why I want to minister to these amazing people, just like they have ministered to others! I am asking you to also help me minister to them by being the Christian ministers God has called us to be and by flowIng in the body ministry of giving!

Let's work together to get these amazing people the coffee machines that they deserve.
