For Months He Whispered….

In the early part of 2008 the Lord began to whisper to my soul,

“You have an Elijah coming home.”  He whispered it daily for months.

I wondered where that Elijah might be??

Never mentioned it to the Bossman…just figured I would let Him tell him when He
was good and ready.

As Dw was leaving with Emma for their first trip ever to Africa in July 2008, Dw
literally was walking out the front door of our little log home to the packed truck to
drive to the airport in Albuquerque.  Turning he called over his shoulder,
“Name that rooster will you?? Why don’t you name him Elijah?”

Whipping my head around and staring at him I responded, “I can’t!! That’s the name
of our next son!  The Lord told me!”

Dw looked bewildered and turned and walked out to the car to begin the journey to Africa.

A few days later, at the first African orphanage they had ever been in…Dw sat on the floor
while many little ones climbed all over his lap…except for one little guy, who had climbed
into his lap and had not moved.  The others were climbing on and off and over and this way
and that way…except for one.

After awhile Dw turned to the caregivers and said, “So what’s this one’s name?”

“Elijah!” they answered.

He would have fallen over had he not been sitting.

And today, that long-awaited whisper has turned eight.

And just like the old prophet Elijah whom he was named after, our Elijah is a young man
who prays earnestly.  When a situation comes up, he is quick to respond, “Mom, should we
pray?”

We are so grateful for the Lord’s daily whispers over months, “You have an Elijah coming”…

then God’s divine move by setting Elijah on Daddy’s lap that day{!}…

followed by God’s beautiful gift of allowing Elijah to be brought home forever…

and then Almighty God’s miraculous, and ever-present divine protection by sparing Elijah’s life the day of the fire {the fire spread to his crib in seconds}

and again for His beautiful rescue this past November when Elijah was seriously choking.

We are humbled by the Lord’s grace and love for our family.

Happy 8th  Birthday Elijah Mueller!!  

We’re so grateful you are one of our treasures! 

“Elijah Mueller – we love you to the moon and back infinity times!”

  1. Happy birthday, Elijah! SO happy to see all God has in store for you. Great men of God are rare – but you are growing into that very thing day by day. Hope you have a terrific birthday! God bless.
