This morning it was my privilege to coach a friend through the birth of her first child. Little Kristina Dorothy was born at 2:37am today. She weighed in at 4lbs., 11oz., and 16 3/4" long. Mother and daughter are both fine.
As I watched Aleshia do this work, this labor. I had an ah- ha moment. Some people more eloquent than I might call it an epiphany. The instant the baby drew her first breath; I saw the face of God. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I've been very busy
....for the past few days, I have had a full plate. Still no baby, yay!!! Tuesday was Bible study. It ran over, but we are learning biblical principles on handling wealth. I am grateful to receive the knowledge even if it's late in my life. Thank you, God!
School began Monday as well and I have already had one quiz. Wow!!!!!

This weekend has been wild!
This has been an absolutely wild weekend. Friday morning before I left for work, I received a phone call from my buddy Aleisha letting me know that she had gone into labor.
So I rush over there and we drive to the hospital. She was actually in labor at 35 weeks into her pregnancy. I spent all day at the hospital Friday; Saturday I went to new member classes, then to the hospital, Sunday was church, Sunday school, Greensboro to take my daughter back to school. Lisa didn't want me to come to the hospital because I am her coach and she wants me fresh for the event.
But she's had a lot of company this week: Nilsa, Natalie, Pam, Allyson, her stepson and his mother, Uncle Larry, Jim and a whole cast of characters.
I hope little Christina Dorothy is born soon and in the best of health.
On another note, I made a potential friend at new members' class in church on Saturday. She just called me and we had a nice conversation. I hope I helped her, I know she inspired me.
I'm very tired and Monday's are hardest for me. Goodnite all.

Touched By an Angel
Does anyone remember the show Touched By an Angel besides me? I loved that show, I was watching the Hallmark channel tonight and they played a two part episode called I Will Walk With You.
Monica is the year fledgling angel who is sent to a town called Ascension somewhere in the western part of the US. Ascension is a town without future because of a horrific accident; all of the town's children were killed in a boiler explosion at the one school.
Enter Monica and a young, handsome drifter(Zake)who just happens to be a, you guessed it, carpenter. Coincidently, this same carpenter was spotted in the town a year prior in the school.
The plot was so obvious, but Zack was accused of the horrible mass murder of the 46 children and was sentenced to consecutive life sentences.
Before he could be shipped to the state prison, he was told by Monica that she was an angel and would like to be his angel for the rest of her life. (It was expected to be short one, because he wasn't expected to survive the appeal process). Inmates and the most hardened criminals have their standarsd, I guess.
The net ressult was that the boiler was tampered with by a mentally challenged man who was told to trun up the boiler so the basement kitties would stay warm. Zake, in the meantime, had disappeared from the jail.
This was the last episode and I think they ended on a nice note. I loved this show and I'm greatful for reruns! Happy new year everyone!
