I'm getting a Granddaughter

Yep, another girl. Today Joleesa had her ultrasound. My how advanced those things have become. And the little one wanted us to know she was girl as she was positioned perfectly with her little legs up for us but she also showed she was embarrassed as she had her arm over her face. It was so obvious and cute, especially when they did it in 3D. Jessa and Jenna got to be in the room with us along with Dallas of course and his mom came too. They were all pretty confident it was a boy. Joleesa had our co-workers assuring her it was a boy as well as the customers that came in. I wouldn't make a guess as that's truly all it is a GUESS. It was fun watching the faces of everyone in the room. The ultrasound doctor wasn't the friendliest man in the world but the first thing he did was find out the sex so we didn't have to wait. This is one excited grandmother (that sounds so weird).

I had and have so many emotions going through me right now that I can't even begin to put them into words. As a mother you take so many things/people into consideration when thinking about things. I am so thankful that God is control. So far we know everything is showing we will have a healthy granddaughter. Her name (at this moment, who knows if it might change ~ grin) will either be Savannah Lynn or Isabella Lynn. I'm thrilled with "Lynn" as that's my middle name. It's fun listening to people give their thoughts on which one. Dallas wants Isabella, I think Joleesa likes Savannah. Jessa and Jenna like Isabella (I think) but Jessa had a good idea, wait until she's born and see if she looks like a Savannah or an Isabella.

On another note; my heart and mind has never been off Heather Adams during this time. We are waiting for a miracle and I know that God can give it to them. Last night in service we had prayer for her and Brother Nowling had told me our Bible Study was going to be on the priest's ephod and going on into the putting on the "garments of praise and of salvation". As I was asking the Lord to show me what songs to lead I truly felt Him guiding me to songs of praise. As I was leading, singing, and praising Him; Heather's name and face was there constantly be lifted up through the praise in my heart and mind. I was reminded of a time Sister Tami Adams shared how she was really sick and crying out to God to touch and God told her to praise Him and as she praised Him she received His healing touch. I praise the Lord for breathing life into Heather. For being with her through this. I know He has a plan for her and her family and we're going to watch it unfold before us.

In other news we had our minister's convention last week and it was good. Due to some misunderstanding we didn't have a guest evangelist. Everyone dig a great job on their boosts. Megan had us laughing as she shared her childhood experience of harvesting ocra (and I actually learned some things) and she used that as her analogy. Jenna did great with her cpma boost reminding us that Christ sees His bride as Perfect. Levi preached a message that got right to the point about being used of God. I preached the Saturday evening message on "despise not thy youth". Though several things were pointed out the main thing was that we need more Elijah's and Elisha's.

Well I'm going to go get some supper and go shopping with Joleesa for GIRL things.
