*CONGRATULATIONS* to my brother Wyatt, and his wife, Suzy on the birth of their baby girl,
Susannah Yael ‘Ella’ Wilcox.
Born 3:42pm, June 30th, 2011 at the Portland Hospital in London, England, weighing 6lbs 6oz.
As you can see, I’m already so in love with this little one! She’s the one, the child that has made my mom and dad grandparents, and me an *auntie*! I can’t wait to meet her in October!
It’s moments like today I wish I could be home!
Though, that wouldn’t do much good either, seeing as how she is in *London*!
If you’ve been following along with me, you may have seen that it is now MONTH TEN. That means that after this month, my squad and I will fly to India, making next month, our FINAL month on the race! The obvious question, “So, what’s next?” I suppose now is as good a time as ever to disclose: I will not be flying back to the US with my squad. It’s finally come the time when I can tell it to all the world, all you dear readers, how God has so perfectly, and beautifully blessed my life! Now is the time I can tell you about how month two was a month that changed my course!! While on the island of Ometepe, Nicaragua, within days of each other, I got the news that one of my best friends was engaged, and my brother and his wife were having a baby! What awesome news to get while out on the race! Amanda’s wedding will take place the month following the race on the small island nation off the coast of Madagascar: Mauritius. I’ll be flying from Delhi, India directly to Mauritius to see her.
Following the wedding is yet another *huge* blessing: I will be flying to Cairo, Egypt where my brother and his wife live, to see my precious baby niece; my little
*baby Ella!*
Needless to say, I cannot *wait* to meet her!
Please, continue to pray for me as I finish this race that I will finish strong. Please pray for my friend Amanda who is to soon be married, and of course, pray for this new little one; pray that Ella will grow up healthy and strong, walking in the knowledge and love of her Creator!
Thank you, all of you dear readers for joining me in these prayers of thanksgiving!
