MAJOR PRAISE REPORT:
Maggie Grace and William Ross made their debut Monday at 5:40 via c-section. William Ross weighed in at 5 lbs. 12 oz. and little Maggie at 4 lbs. 15 oz. Both babies are doing well at this time. William Ross has dark curly hair and Maggie is fair with blond hair. (I think that means she looks like me but I may be jumping to conclusions here). Brother Jackson does not have a clue about his siblings yet since children are not allowed in the NICU and pictures alone would not suffice him. I should have pictures soon so that I can do some major flashing! Thank you for every prayer that you said for these little ones! Ross and I arrived just minutes after the babies were born and are spending the night at Brandon and Christy's tonight with Jackson.
Today I personally took the babies temperature, changed a diaper and held each one before heading back to Alabama. What an awesome privilege.
love, margaret

Fun-Filled Days

Thank you ladies of Holmes Creek Baptist Church for welcoming me into the midst of you. What a beautiful sight to see the fellowship room filled with the love and joy of Jesus. You did fill it! I had such a blast sharing God's Word with you and worshipping with Michele Holloway as well. We do have such a great time being together, even if we did get lost on the return trip on Friday evening!
Thank you for responding to the Lord and thank you for listening as "ones being taught". Not by me, but by the Holy Spirit through me! You shared about how your lives were changed. That's Him!
I am already missing you, Heather, and my other "new best friends."
The twins are keeping us guessing, but for now, it seems that they will probably arrive on Monday or Tuesday of next week. I surely am glad that God knows their birthday and that He had it planned from the start! I am praying that He will favor me by allowing me to be there!
I will be in Columbus this Sat. speaking and will leave for Las Vegas (honestly to teach) the next Friday.
Days in Christ are so not boring! They are rich with meaning and purpose and joy!
I am reading a great book that has lit my fire further and answered a question or two for me - "Holy Discontent" by Bill Hybels.
Looking for a Bible study with your name already written on the inside flap? I have found one - "No Other Gods" by Kelly Minter.
Guard your hearts, friend, by filling it with the good things of Jesus!
love, margaret
