Yesterday, Justin was trying to feel the baby moving inside my tummy and he had his hand there. Then, Lela came over to try to feel too and stuck her hand in under mine. Then, Justin said, “I feel the baby’s fingers”. It was tooo funny!

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love

Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My […]
Yesterday we had a wonderful message at church that reminded me that keeping the cross at the center of my life is not a one time event, but something I must decide to do each day. All of the blessings in my life are only possible because of what Jesus did for me on […]
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been living here for 3 yrs now. September 1st marked our third year since we rolled into town and called it home. In a way it seems like longer, but it also seems like we haven’t been here long. I think what really brings it […]
The entirety of the message can be read at girl talk but,I wanted to just post this here for my benefit and others. From Spurgeon’s Beside Still Waters: “Some have only learned to trust the smile of His face, but they must also learn to trust the blows of His fist” (pg. 15)

I’m praying the Lord will strengthen you as you serve Him by […]
