Gran Jan’s Joy = ZEKE

January 1, 2009 3:26 AM 1

I couldn’t let 2008 slip away without posting one more time…this year has been one of great joy and God’s blessings upon our family. We added two new members – a daughter-in-love, and our first grandchild, a boy. We became empty-nesters and grandparents in a matter of weeks! My oldest son brought Zeke by for a little visit this afternoon. I took Zeke and we went to my reading chair, a very special place to my heart. We read the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den and I told him how I hoped and prayed he would always “dare to be a Daniel.” I know he is only 4 1/2 months old, but God’s Word is so alive, and I love reading to him already. He was so attentive! I highly recommend this children’s bible book, The Jesus Storybook Bible. I look forward to reading to him often in the years ahead. Good night to all, and may 2009 dawn in our lives tomorrow and find us faithful servants to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for He alone is worthy.

Love y’all, Georgia Jan

ZEKE Arrived…He is a Sunday’s Child…How Fitting

August 25, 2008 2:32 AM 4

Zeke Arrived last Sunday…

What a day it was. He is beautiful and all you grandmothers out there who told me there is “nothing like it” were so right. What an amazing gift. Ezekiel means “God is Strong.” God showed Himself strong by bringing this little boy into our lives. We prayed him in…and we are claiming him – he is already turning our lives in and out and up and down. And we are loving every minute…stay tuned…more from Gran Jan to follow…:)

Still Waiting…

August 12, 2008 2:04 PM 1

We are still waiting on Zeke-man’s arrival! No signs of labor yet – but full of faith and hope as we await the blessed event. I am beyond myself…can’t wait for all that being Gran Jan will entail…it should be within the next week… I’ll let you know – you will hear me “holler!” 🙂

Hope Deferred

August 6, 2008 2:05 PM 2

Well, Zeke is snug as he can be and there are no signs of his coming yet (unlike the signs of our Lord’s coming – hallelujah!)… God is so good and I am already so in love with this little grandboy, I can hardly wait to see him. (I can hardly wait to see my Savior most of all)… Proverbs 13:12 says “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but the desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Waiting and waiting for this grandbaby has made my heart sick – but knowing the desire is soon to be filled has made me think about another “tree of life,” and that is our family tree. Because it is growing and this precious little boy will be the beginning. My Sunday night Bible study ladies gave me a “Gran Jan” Wal-Mart gift card Sunday night. I was so surprised and so excited. The wise sages (already Grands) in my class told me that I will need baby things at my house…I jumped for joy! Thank you for reading – be encouraged – be blessed – for the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

Waiting Room

July 24, 2008 12:03 PM 1

Well, just a few more days until I will become Gran Jan. I am beyond excited – for this has been a long journey…not only for me – but even more so for little Zeke’s parents – my first-born son and his precious wife. While they waited for a baby, I was waiting for a grandbaby, and when I quit asking God for the baby – and began praying for His will, the peace came – and so did the pregnancy (in that order). It came out of my time at the “Deeper Still” conference in Nashville, Tennesse in September of 2007. God used His Word and the words from sweet Beth Moore to minister to my heart, calm my spirit, and give me the assurance to pray for His Will – whatever that meant. The story is miraculous, and after a failed adoption (of triplets), the conception came – when we least expected it to come. Isn’t that just like our Father? While we are in the waiting room, He is busy all around us, preparing, working, teaching – being God. My heart is full of joy today, and I am so thankful to my heavenly Father for His peace, and that out of the waiting time for the past 3 years, I will soon be in a real-live waiting room…as I wait for the birth of my first grandchild.

A Well-Watered Soul…
soon to be…
