Early Thursday morning at 1:50 a little master piece entered this world, her name is Emilia, Mathilda, Helen Almqvist. She was 11.9 lbs and 21.7 inches (5,260 kg and 55 cm) and has more hair than any other baby I've ever seen :). She is just so adorable and the best thing of all; she's ours!!! Her journey these few days have been tough though, she was born with a broken clavicle and 5 broken ribs - you feel the ribs moving and cracking when you hold her... She has been in so much pain, and has spent the last two days in the NICU at the hospital. We are praying and hoping that we can bring her home tomorrow.
Today as I was sitting with her, just cuddling and talking to her this verse came to mind;
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Is 58:8
The peace and presence of the Lord filled the little room at the NICU at MaGee Womens Hospital and I just knew that she will heal quickly. God truly is our fortress, our strong tower, our peace, our healer, our provider, our joy and comforter!
As I sang this song for her she opened her eyes and looked at me as to say; mom, I'll be ok. (Sorry all my English speaking friends that it's in Swedish, but the lyrics are written below in the clip).

About The Almqvists
Hi, my name is Peter Almqvist and I am a minister of help. I work with setting up large outdoor evangelistic festivals all around the world, primarily in Africa. Currently we are on what we are calling the African Capital City Tour, or ACCT for short. We preach the gospel to those that have not heard or have yet to respond. The cry of the lost has been heard and we are responding to their SOS.
