We are very excited and grateful before our Lord to announce that on May 25 at 8:45pm our 9lb, 21 inch son, Isaac William Stubblefield was born. Isaac is named after the great patriarch of the scriptures; a man that feared the Lord, and was the son in whom the Lord said “...and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” (Genesis 17:19). His middle-name William is named for my grandfather William Hugh Stubblefield -- a man of great strength, dignity, and honor.

It is our hope and prayer that our son will be a man that fears God above all else and that his life in word and deed (Colossians 3:17) will reflect our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask that you would join us in prayer for the life of our son. That we would raise him up in the nurture and admonition of our Lord (Ephesians 6:4) and that his life would be a testimony to others of true Christian manhood. (1 Corinthians 16:13)

Our first born son has been given a rich inheritance. Isaac is the descendant of six-generations of known Christian fathers (perhaps more as the rest are currently untraced), and eleven generations of American fathers. Isaac holds the mantle as the only grandchild decedent of my grandfather William Hugh’s linage that will carry on the Stubblefield name — may he lead in being the first of many to come from our household.

“...Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate...” -- Psalm 127:3-5
