His name means, "The Lord is my Salvation, my firm foundation".  Isaiah just turned nine on Wednesday and I can tell you that his life is a true testimony to me that the Lord is my Salvation!  He is a testimony of God's goodness, His grace, His failthfulness and His abundant blessings!  After praying so very long for a baby (5years) we had the privilege to adopt Eli, and that was just the start of God's amazing faithfulness to my fervant prayer for children.  When Eli was 15 months old, we were so blessed and ecstatic  that God had another bundle of joy in store for us!  Nine years ago, Isaiah was born in Mobile, AL.  Our hearts were so overjoyed as we made the drive from Ocala to go pick up our precious son from the hospital.  He was so tiny, sweet and the quietest baby for the first three months.  No joke...the day we finalized his adoption in Mobile, he began being the Isaiah we all know and love today.  Never stops!  He is a bundle of energy to say the least.  When we took him to his first day at pre-k, Derrick and I looked at each other and said, "Here's the beginning of countless meetings with the teacher."  Not because he was bad, but because he LOVES to talk, make people laugh and be the center of attention.  Our first talk with his teacher, however, was about how well behaved he was and that she just had a hard time getting him to talk.  We quickly made sure she knew that our son was Isaiah, with the white blond hair.  She assured us that was who she was talking about. Each teacher there after has said the same thing.  So he has the best of both worlds...he CAN be the life of the party and he can control it when needed!
Isaiah is such a special little boy!  He loves Jesus with all his heart and had the privilege of having his daddy baptize him this year.  He absolutely LOVES animals, reptiles especially, but won't even kill a roach.  He wanted nothing more than a ball python for his birthday and won his daddy over in getting one.  He has been studying snakes for the past year, how to feed them handle them, care for them...and now he get's to put it into action with his new friend "Lucky".
Isaiah loves life and lives it to it's fullest!
I cannot imagine my life without him!  I thank the Lord every day for having such an amazing plan in mind for me to have the privilege of being Isaiah's mommy!  I can't wait to see how the Lord uses his life! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAIAH!  I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!
