HOPE FOR GLORY

Hi guys. 

 

I am sure you are family or friends to access this page.  This is announcing our beautiful daughter Eowyn Ruth Coombe into the world. 

 

There will be more pictures and videos added, but we wanted to get something up the first night.  I hope the video works well for you. 

 

 

Adele and I have great thanks to offer Raeben Nolan our duela, the midwifery crew, especially Aleshia and Bonnie, and the nursing staff at Willamette Falls Hospital.

 

And here's to you for supporting us in our days becoming the people we are today to become the parents we will be tomorrow.  Blessings on you all.

 

Scott, Adele, Wesley and Eowyn Coombe.

 

 

 

 

 As a New Parent.

Well, I know what it is like to be a daddy. I have a beautiful son, Wesley, and I have been wrestling with him since he was six months old, that’s for over three years now. He is great, but the real challenge just happened two days ago.

I became a father of a girl. I have a daughter, Eowyn Ruth Coombe. She was born June 8th. Four days after I turned 38. Wow, I’m old.

Anyway, I was prepared and loving this little girl all through the pregnancy, mostly by loving my wife well. But, I have a natural knack for playing with my son. I know what he will want to do and how to challenge him. I know Spiderman, Hot Wheels and Army Men will do the trick along with wrestling matches and wilderness runs.

A girl changes all that. Well, what does a girl need..?

They need love, emotional stability, attention, to be listened to and be thought beautiful. They need to be cherished and communicated with. J.I. Joe dad just isn’t going to cut it.

It will cost me more of my time, more relational abilities to groom within and strong personal interest in each of the details of a little one.

I could say “Uhgh!” and pull the covers over my head. But I have higher expectations for myself and my role as Dad. I believe as I transform myself to adapt to what she will need, even before she needs it, then I shall even be a better dad to my wonderful son.

In all, well, I hope you shoot up a quick prayer for me, that God strengthens me and my love tank never runs empty. At least I know where to go to get a fill up.
God bless all of you who already know this struggle or are going through it with me.

I know this world has a lack of good fathers raising children. I will not be a statistic. I want to be an impact player on my children and their friends. And the first place it starts is with loving their momma.

God bless you all.
Scott
