- Hi. I'm Janet Roller: wife of one, mother of two, lover of coffee and writer of songs. I have just finished my first fiction novel and I'm looking forward to watching how God uses the simple story to minister to others. God is a big deal to me. My goal each day is to wake up and declare, "This day is Yours, Lord. Show me what to do with it."

Baby Ella Grace is Here!
Matt's sister, Rachel, with her new precious baby.

8 is Enough! All the Roller Cousins.
Yesterday was an exciting day in the Roller family. Ella Grace Mode was born at 6:33am. She is beautiful!
Rachel experienced 3-minute-apart contractions last week and thought she would surely deliver.With plenty of time to get childcare for her other two children she made her way to the hospital with bags packed...only to be sent home. Yesterday morning, she woke up to find the time had come. She arrived at the hospital at 6:15am and Baby Ella arrived at 6:33am. Whew!
I began thinking this morning about deliverance. I like a set plan that has been spelled out in a few easy steps. The ideal. However, sometimes God's time for us to be delivered from whatever we are in bondage to doesn't follow the 12-step-process. If He chooses, some have a very quick experience.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you...to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."
God is gracious. God is good. God is love. God is in control.
Whatever needs to be removed from us, He can deliver...and always in perfect time.
More to come later…check back.

Congratulations! That was REALLY close! The baby is beautiful!
Wow, she barely made it to the hospital. I see a great devotion out of the deliverance theme. Tell Rachel congratulations. I'll try to call you tomorrow.
Adorable!!
