We OFFICIALLY have a DAUGHTER!

Praise the Lord our court date went through without any problems!!! We are the proud parents of Felicity! My heart overflows with joy as I realize it is and has always been the Lord who has worked. Thank you so much for all who were praying for us, your prayers were fruitful and we have really appreciated all your encouraging words! We are undeserving.

Lord I am astonished at the difference between my recievings
and my deservings, between the state I am now in and my past
graclessness, between the heaven I am bound for and the hell I merit.
Who made me to differ, but thee? for I was no more ready to recieve
Christ than were others; I could not have begun to love thee had you not forst loved me, or been willing unless you had first made me so. O that such a crown should fit the head of such a sinner! Such high advancement be for an unfruitful person! ...Let wrath deserved be written in the door of hell, but the free gift of grace on the gate of heaven.
