Greetings in the Lord, erybody!
 
On Friday, January 16, 2009 at 11:01pm, a new daughter was born to my wife, Aki, and me.  Her name is Ajna Shekina Hughes-Polk.
 
I've prayed with all my might that this little girl would be filled with Christ's Spirit from the womb onward.  Aki and I have dedicated this little girl to the Lord, His Will, and His Service.  She's a miracle baby who wouldn't be here without our Creator's wonderful Grace.  She belongs to Christ...and Aki and I pray the the Christ (through us and our community) do the raising.  If you would, continue to pray for her and my other two children (Lucian and Logan Polk).  If each of them know the Lord and lovingly serve him in their lives, I could ask for nothing better for them.
 
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!  Whatever happens in the future, may his Glory be proclaimed forever...and ever...and ever!
 
Thank you, Jesus.  For everything. biggrin
 
"...I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.  So now I give her to the LORD. For her whole life she will be given over to the LORD." And she worshiped the LORD there.


God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

"I love, therefore I am in I Am.  God is my life."

Wow!  Excellent!  My sister told her life's story here.  There wasn't a dry tear in the place.  But a big part of that story is how a family in the church came by her side and helped a lonely, frightened, 17 year old girl raise a little boy the first couple of years of his life.  I talked to the pastor afterwards and said, "When you had those baby dedications today, every time you say, "WE as a family are going to raise these children."   I really do believe it is about church folk and specifically in your case, Woodland Hills, surrounding all three of you and setting the horizon for these little ones to know God intimately and actively.  Congratulations D and Aki!!!  hop

Thanks, y'all. For real!

I'm trying to get these pictures in the right format. Aki saved them on the computer and their on some kind of weird format. But I'll have them for you today.

You will LOVE her! ;-)

Corey, how do I put saved pictures on here?  I only know how to link embedded pictures, it seems...

If you email them to me, I'll post them. That'd be easiest right now.
