DeWitt Family: Baby Boy Crockett

Baby Boy Crockett

Brian's sister, Jill, delivered her second baby boy yesterday at 24 weeks. He is 1 pound, 10 ounces, 11 3/4 inches long. We just feel helpless not to be there with all the family to support them in any way we can. Whenever I think of that tiny little baby struggling for every moment, my throat tightens and my eyes fill with tears. For Brian and I, the last two nights have been restless sleep filled with dreams of that tiny little baby and tonight's report came that he's not doing well. Since there might not be much sleeping here at our house tonight, I'll fill the time updating you on our little family.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
