the sovereignty of God........




in the birth of a child.

I am simply overwhelmed.
On September 15, 2010, our fifth grandchild was born in Ethiopia.
The child is a girl and she is beautiful.
We just found out about her birth last evening.

This little girl was chosen by God
to be a daughter and a sister and a granddaughter and a niece and a cousin
to all of us here who are eagerly awaiting her arrival.

We are first thankful to God for the gift of this child.
We are also grateful and humbled by every one of you
who have had a part in making this miracle happen.

Read David's blog for more details.
We can't publish her picture or her name yet.

"Who among all these does not know
that the Lord has done this,
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind."
Job 12: 9&10
