Valentines Day

My lunch bag and dessert! Thanks for making it extra special Liz!
Such a sweet brother hey - a dozen roses! Thank you bunches Daniel!
The sweet treat table
 Chocolate dipped strawberries (can't you taste it?)!

A few days ago I asked the younger boys what they wanted for Valentines Dinner, because I wanted to do something special for them as my parents were gone! "Pizza" they said "Delissio Pizza"... wow! Faith ended up making delicious Nachos - so thankful when they pitch in, especially when I get home late from work.
Micah had been asking me for some time if we could PLEASE decorate more cookies - so I promised him on Valentines we would. I invited quite a few younger girls over... however because of the weather only a few were able to come, was a fun evening.

 note: Micah and Jonathan wanted a temporary beard, so used black face paint...

So thankful for this extra special opportunity to be reminded of our Saviors unending faithful love for us! We all have so much to be thankful for! I was listening to a song on the way to work this morning and it really reminded me of it (well two actually and you'll have to bear with me as I try and interpret them - it's hard to translate a song from Spanish into English and still bring out the significance and beauty of it). They were talking about the Lord's hand in our lives, even when we can't see it, He's there working on our behalf, guiding our lives with His faithful hand. Maybe we won't understand it all now, but one day we'll be able to look back on past days and see His faithful hand in everything. Knowing it was just a part of His bigger plan for our lives. He uses that which is shattered, and from that brokenness writes a story of grace. He takes all that is lost and turns it into gain and for His ultimate glory... He gives us beauty for ashes
May you know His unending faithful love for you and feel His strong arms of love around you as you walk through every valley and carrying you as you cross over every mountain! 
Rest, Trust, Wait patiently in the arms of our faithful, all knowing, amazing Creator!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Dear Followers, I apologize for not writing on the happenings in the last few months! Many new opportunities, many ups and downs, but through it all - there is so much to learn, and hopefully in the process He's making us into stronger people, becoming more and more like Him! December was filled with lots of different Christmas happenings, get together's, music opportunities, visitations, baking, eating of yummy food, and spending time with family!  I maybe took 3 or 4 pictures - not much to show, but will be bringing more pictures of the upcoming months!  New Years - I was sick again, so I was home alone, while everyone went else where to ring in the New Year! A good time to reflect on the happenings, excitement, disappointments, blessings, and most of all His faithfulness! A lot to remember, be thankful for, but 2013 is past, and although it brought much joy and some of the happiest most fulfilled moments, times - this is 2014 and I'm excited to see what He w...
