Ella Grace & The Baldwin Christmas!

A year ago today precious Ella Grace Baldwin was born! I amazed at how quickly time has flown; it's seems like just yesterday we we're receiving the news of her arrival!

While in Wisconsin, Quintin and I met Ella for the first time. Our hearts have often been saddened not having met her earlier, but coming face-to-face with her inviting smile and fun loving personality brought healing and much rejoicing to our hearts! We love this adorable little girl and so enjoyed watching Andrew and Hannah, her parents, delight in and care for her so thoughtfully and attentively!

Ella means "bright light", thus our prayer for her is two fold; that she would someday intimately know Jesus "the Light of the World", and that in turn, she would through His empowering live as light to those who live in darkness!



Family Christmas

I love Christmas! I love celebrating Immanuel "God with us"! And I love doing so with family! We had a wonderful few days with Quintin's side of family while we we're in Wisconsin! It was so great to just be together, something we've not been able to do for so long!

Thank you family for the sweet conversations, the time spent in prayer and sharing prayer requests, and of course, for the ridiculously awesome games of risk (i think we may have started a tradition)!! I love you deeply!!!
