It's a girl!

"For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations." Psalm 100:5

What a week! Due on August 7th, our newest addition, Margaret Austen White, was born this past Sunday at 9:19am, 12 days "late" and just in time for church! Jacqueline is continuing her recovery and Margaret is beginning to grow, having gained 2 ounces from Sunday's birth to Wednesday's check up.

We wish to express our thanks for the many weeks and months of prayer and support from you, our church family! You have all been wonderful. We also thank you for respecting our privacy as we transition to having a newborn in our home once more.

At the peak of what I can only imagine to be the most excruciating pain, Jacqueline prayed the most heartfelt and sincere prayer someone could possibly utter, "Please Lord, help me." I was moved to tears, unable to relieve her pain, as I watched my wife and then as I watched the Lord answer her, for he is good; his love and his faithfulness truly endures to all generations!

We are excited to finally introduce you to our new little girl!

Grace & Peace,
John
