Ginty news!!!

You guys, I have some absolutely HUGE and exciting news!!! As of May 13th, 2021, there will be two NEW GINTYS!!! ONE BOY AND ONE GIRL!!!!

TWINS!!!

My brother Abe and his wife Grace are FINALLY officially adopting my niece and nephew, Kyle and Chelsea!!! We have all waited a really, really, really, REALLY looooooong time for this to become a reality!!!

.

The process was going on and on and on and one day, during Friday night prayer meeting, Kyle raised his hand asked Pastor to pray that they would be able to get adopted. ONE WEEK LATER, they got the good news that they would be able to adopt them!!!

.

Buuuuuuut they weren't given a date so since then we've still b

een waiting and waiting and WAITING!!! Then last week my brother took his family to Chili's to eat and he told Chelsie to pray for their food before they ate. So she prayed for the food, then randomly said, and that we will be adopted SOON!!!

.

ONE HOUR LATER:

They got the email from the state letting them know the date of the adoption!!!! Oh to have the faith of a child when we pray!!! Some people wanna make sure an adult prays for their prayer request, I'm like, NOOOOOOOOO JUST LEAVE IT TO THE KIDS!!!! 

                                    . We gotta have faith like these kids!!!.

I'm just over here like, HEY twins...how about you pray for...

 AUNT MARY TO GET MARRIED!!!

Odin's Adoption Party!!!

David and Goliath themed party adoption party...everything turned out GREAT!!!

Special thanks to our sis-in-law Grace for making the wall art of David and the giant Goliath and the picture collage and to Sis. Abbott for doing the table décor and to our brother John for doing the food annnnnnnnnnnd to Frys AKA: Kroger for the AMAAAAAZING looking and tasting cake!!! 

.

At a Ginty party, it's NOT been a successful party IF...

EVERYONE at the party is NOT taking home leftovers!!! 

.

The bombest bounce house everrrrrrrr!!!! DOUBLE SLIDES FOR RACING!!! You all shoulda heard Odie when we pulled up and he saw it, he literally SCREAMED for joy and ran into it!!!

Everyone would come annnnnnd I'd be like, to all the adults, COME ON, get in the bounce house, race down the slides!!! And they'd be like, I WILL IF, YOU WILL!!! I'm like, OKAAAAAAAAAAAY, lets go then, cuz I've ALREADY BEEN DOWN 6 TIMES...I'll RACE YOU!!! 

 We even had a GOLIATH piñata to beat up!!! We couldn't find one that we thought looked like Goliath, so my sis came up with just printing a pic from offline and tape it on!!! It worked great, the kids loved it!!!

 I will say that it was one GOLIATH of a piñata too!!! El Super really does have THE BEST pinatas and at a GREAT price!!!

Goliath's sign says the scripture, AM I A DOG??? Everyone was saying, Goliath looks SO MEAN! It's like, UMMMMMM...it's GOLIATH...He's SUPPOSED TO!!! LOL

One God and God is BIGGER than YOU!!! 

 Overall, it was a GREAT PARTY!!! Everyone was like to my sis, MAAAAAN you really know how to throw a party!!! It's kinda A GINTY THING!!! Hee, hee!!! 

Thank you everyone for your love, prayers and support as we welcome, embrace and THANK GOD for our NEWEST LITTLE GINTY!!! To God be ALL THE GLORY!!!!

Odin's Adoption!!!!

Soooooooo it was a VERY HYPERRRR 3-hour ride to Kingman for Odin's adoption!!! I don't think he really knew for sure WHAT was going to happen, buuuuuuuuuut he knew that his last name was going to be GINTY now, annnnnnnnnnd he was VERY EXCITED about that!!!

ODIN DAVID GINTY!!!

All these people here for his adoption, and actually there were more coming in, there were some people that literally, we had NO IDEA who they were. There were A LOT of people that had been on the case while he was still a ward of the case in Kingman, that were just soooooo EXCITED to see him being adopted! I could hear people all over whispering about how they couldn't believe how well he talked now...Literally when my sister got him all he did was make noises, SCREAM AND CRY!!! 

Waiting for it all to get started!!!

He was so excited, he knew EVERYONE was there FOR HIM and he was TRYING to say hi to EVERYONE!!! AHAHAAA!!!

Heeeeeeeeeey! LOOK AT ME!!! I'm soooooooo CUUUUUTE ANNNNND HANDSOME AND I KNOW IT!!!!!!!!

Annnnnnnnnd we all rose when the judge walked in...

T being sworn in...

Odin getting bored during his adoption!!!

Still looking at EVERYONE!!!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd HE'S ADOPTED!!!

Officially and legally, ODIN DAVID GINTY!!!

T and my dad!

Odin was outta these pics cuz he was OFF to talk to EVERYONE at this point!!! LOL

The lawyer, Duncan Rose, that really fought LOOOOOONG ANNNNND HARD for Odin to be adopted by T! God definitely used him in this process...He was also quite funny at times too...LOL

.

With Pastor and Sister Abbott!!!!

The WHOLE GINTY KLAN!!!!!

HOPEFULLY, more Ginty's to come in the future!!!

ANNNNNNNNNND

OUR LITTLE MAN!!!!

Celebrating at Cracker Barrel!!!

My sister chose the middle name DAVID for Odin because his middle name given by his bio parents was Atom, as in AFTER THE ATOM bomb...yeah, he was born with drugs in his system... his first name was Odin after a mythological god. She started claiming the scripture in 1 Samuel, " And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands." So she made his middle name after David in the Bible to represent that there is a God that is BIGGER than any false god's of this world OR THE ATOM BOMB! It's also after our Pastor Abbott and our Bishop Abbott, they're first name's are both David. So overall it was just the perfect fit ANNNNNND God really did fight this battle!!! 

Adoption party is TONIGHT!!!

Pics of that NEXT FRIDAY!!!

THE LAST THING THIS KID NEEDS TO LEARN  IS HOW TO CUT STUFF!!!!!

We do our hair, accessorize, and talk about guys together and believe it or not, MJ actually keeps all my our guy talk a secret!!!!

 

 

Something cool that happened a while ago was that I was sending someone a pic of me with MJ and one of her friends and I was like, This is my niece and my adopted niece. I was saying adopted niece about one of MJ'S friends when I realized that MJ actually IS the one that's adopted, buuuuut I didn't even think about it! She's MY NIECE!!!

♥Mary Frances :)

P.S. You can read her full adoption story HERE!!!

Just call me GRANDMA!!!

Guess WHAAAAAAT everyone???

I'm A GRANDMA!!!

Fo REALZ!!! I know, cRaZy right?! K!!!! Sooooo this is the story...

Once upon a time, I had a beautiful lil Liberian girl from a troubled home come live with me!!! We LOVED each other with all our hearts... She was ten and I was 24 when this all happened...ANNNND had it been up to us, we would have lived together FOREVERRR!!! Buuuuut things didn't go the way we wanted and we got seperated and pulled apart from each other...BUUUUUT we neverRRR everrrr stopped loving each other...NEVERRR!!! And you can read more about THAT here!!!

.

As I'm sure almost EVERYONE that knows me or has read my blog, has at one time or another heard me talk about my ESTHER!!! So my lil girl, she hasn't been living for God but I still love her and God has given me an EXTREME burden for her...and weeeeelll she knows that...LOL...cuz I NEVERRR let her forget it!!!

.

Anyhow, she came to live with for a lil while the end of last year. ANNNND we thought that things were going to be the way they used to be...but due to choices and circumstances things were NOT the same... and in the end Esther, let me know that she had just found out she was pregnant...

she was scarced...she thought I wouldn't want to be around her anymore...buuut like DUH...of course I'm NOT like that and HONESTLY I wasn't like shocked by it!!! I already knew the way things were in her life!!!

She was being told by ALL different people that ABORTION was the answer...weeeeellll of course she wasn't going to get very far with that route with me and plus she knew in her heart that she couldn't do that. She said she knew she was a sinner, commiting sin and still doing sin...BUUUUT that was one sin she just couldn't commit! Sooooo she asked me to adopt her baby!

 She said that...No matter what, it wasn't the babies fault. BUT she said she also didn't want to keep the baby, because there is NO way she could take care of it or be a good mom BUT she didn't want her family to get the baby, cuz none of them would treat it right, cuz they would raise the baby like she had been raised.

BUT the ONLY person that she would want to raise her baby was me. So even though she wasn't going to keep the baby she was VERY particular about who was going to raise it. She said she wanted her baby to have the kind of home that she had when she was with me and she knew that because I loved her I would always let her be a part of the babies life AND also because I was the only white person she knew that wouldn't mind havin black baby. She's like, people SAY that they don't care, BUT THEY DO! I was like WEEEEEElLLL you know that don't bother me...You know i've ALWAYS wanted....she's like DUH MARY! I KNOW!!!! (LOL!)
.

Of course I was like ESTATIC, cuz I mean SERIOUSLEY...I have ALWAYS wanted a CHOCOLATE BABY!!! When I was four years old, my sister got a real baby doll for Christmas and I wanted one soooo bad...buuuuut I wanted a BLACK ONE!!! And I begged my mom for 6 months for a BLACK REAL BABY DOLL annnnnd i'll NEVERRRR forget, on my 5th birthday, JULY 18th, 1988...I opened up my present and there she was...MY BLACK BABY DOLL!!! JESSICA...She was my favorite doll ever ANNNND I still have her!!! :) Soooo yeah...I was like OMW, I'm really gonna get a REAL BLACK BABY!!!

Sooooo people were like telling me ok, you gotta look into this...you gotta get adoption certified, etc...etc...but Idk...I just wasn't 100% sure that this was what GOD wanted. Maybe God wanted this baby with another Apostolic family...with a mom and a dad...was I REALLY the best thing and would this in some way come between me and Esther? So I asked her if she was STILL sure that she wanted ME to adopt the baby...what if there was another Apostolic family that would raise her baby in a good home and she was just all, LIKE WHO?! A black family or a white family? So I was like weeeellll I mean I don't know for sure...I don't even know any people for sure that are lookin to adopt but I can find out...I can ask around...

 .

She was like i'm tellin you Mary, if they're NOT black they are NOT going to want my baby!!! THey will be like, Oh it should be with black people cuz it will be confused and all this stuff  and they will have all these excuses, but its really cuz they JUST don't want a black baby, She was adamant your the ONLY one I will give my baby too, because your the ONLY one I know FOR SURE, that would truley love it! (Awwww)

 .

Buuuuuut still I knew I wasn't going to adopt this baby...NOT that I didn't want it, I just knew deep down inside that it wasn't God's will...Ultimatley, I LOVE ESTHER!!! Even when I would hear people say, Oh that poor baby, that poor child, you gotta adopt him, she can't raise him, he has to be taken away from her...Idk...I just felt like...SOMEONE still has to care about Esther. She is still a broken, hurting, lost little girl... God brought us to each other and there is NOTHING that will ever change that love I have for her in my heart and I knew if I adopted her baby I would have to choose her baby over her...PLUS...more than anything else, I believe in her!!!

I know when people see her, they just see this ghetto chick with some MAGOR attitude....buuuuut oh man I just love her sooooo much and I can see her heart...I know that deep down inside she really does love God... I KNOW that...So I just let her talk about whatever...buuuut then she like heard her babies heartbeat and she found out she was having a boy and OH MAN I could tell something in her was changing towards this baby...

.

Meanwhile, she was gettin all this trash from the other African people, she is a whore cuz she is pregnant at 14 and blah, blah, blah and i'm like LOOK, i'm not sayin you are or aren't, thats between YOU AND GOD...buuuut...being pregos doesn't make you that. Being pregnant is NOT a sin...its WHAT you did that got you pregnant that is a sin...and I'm NOT condoning what you did or the way you have been living...its WRONG and it is SIN...buuuuuuut all the rest of the African people that are talkin about you are doing the same thing! They're all fornicating and living in adultrey and getting pregnant and they think its ok cuz they're adults...weeeeellll SORRRRRY BUUUUUT sin is SIN!!!

. 

Sooooo when I could tell Esther was starting to change about her baby I was like, LOOK, if you want to keep him its ok! I'm fine with that. I'm NOT out lookin to be a single mom...I've just ALWAYS told God that I am AVAILABLE if thats what he chooses...I'm WILLING...buuuuut honestly I would prefer to be married before children. (I REALLY DO WANT A CHOCOLATE BABY THO!!!:)

 .

And I told Esther, I KNOW you can be a good mom...You can...and if you want i'll teach you EVERYTHING I know about being a mom...NOT that i'm sayin i'm an expert of nutin...LOL...but i'll help you be a good mom...teach you about the CORRECT way of disciplinin teachin your baby about God...etc... so finally she decided...I'm gonna keep him!!! AND I honestly felt sooooo happy for her. I told her that NO MATTER what anyone says, a baby is gift from GOd. The Bible says that children are a treasure...and I told her that this baby was NOT a punishment from God...but a BLESSING!!! I really believe that...God is the giver of life...he chose to allow this baby to be formed...He wasn't an accident on God's part...GOD MADE HIM!!!

.

So Esther wanted me to help her pick out a good name for him...she was like...I want him to have a BLACK NAME...not an AFRICAN name...buuuut a BLACK AMERICAN MAN's name!!! HAHA!!! I'm like okaaaaaay sounds good to me. ANNNND I found ALL these awesomely black man names for her...Trevonte, Tyrone, DeShawn, DeAndre, Xavier, Jamal...ETC...buuuuuuuuuut she couldn't decide on any of these names FOR SURE...and this WHOLE time she just couldn't decide WHAAAAAT she was going to to name him...

 .

I mean she went into false labor Wednesday night and we brought her in, and EVEN THEN she didn't know WHAT she was going to name him...WEEEEEELLLL...Friday morning, June 8th at 4am... Esther had a c-section and at 4 am...

 Phletcher Lamar La Neil Wilson entered into the world!!!

.

AHAHAHA!!! Isn't that like THE AWESOMEST little black man name EVERRRRR?!?! Soooo DRAMATIC...I LOOOOOVE IT!!! 6 pounds, 1 ounce and 19 inches long and Esther adores him!!! ANNNNND of course SO DO I!!! BECAUSE this now means ONE THING...I am NOW OFFICIALLY A...

GRANDMA!!!

 WOOT! WOOT!!! Thats right...ya all can just start callin me Grams!!! Esther's whole family is like, MARY! You have a grandson now!!! His actual grandma, who is MY AGE, was like I AM NOT to be called grandma, YOU CAN be called his Grandma Mary!!! I'm like Okaaaaay...it sounds good to me!!! Esther's grandma was just like, "Mary, you have a grandson now!" (I wish you all could hear me say this with my African accent! LOL)

This  pic below is when Esther said that her WHITE mom is mental, cRaZy, weird and NEEDS HELP!!! (I won't say her EXACT words cuz they may be offensive to some people...LOL!)

 I'm just like SWEEEET!!!! And I have beeeeen kinda going to see my lil grandbaby NON-stop since  his birth...OMW YOU GUYS...he is soooooooooo ADORABLE!!!

 Esther was just sittin there lookin at him and shakin her head...she is like...I do NOT know where you got all this hair from Phletcher...you didn't get it from me..you musta got it from Mary!!!! (Weeeell he's gotta get something from his grams!) Awwwww HE HAS MY HAIR!!!

I told Esther one time...I am SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!! She is like, WHY? FOR WHAT?! I'm 15-years-old and pregnant, whats there to be proud of?!?! I'm like, because, you may have made a MILLION bad decisions for yourself in the past, and even in the future, BUUUUUUT choosing LIFE for your baby...

WHEN EVERYONE was pressuring you into having abortion, YOU CHOSE LIFE and that is ONE CHOICE that was THE RIGHT CHOICE and for that I am proud of you!!!
