Beautiful Jesus, how may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the earth I bow down to everything You are.
Knees to the earth
Beautiful Jesus
How may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the earth I bow down to everything You are.
Beautiful Jesus
You are my only worth.
So let me embrace You always as I walk this earth.

These were taken before we went Trunk-or-Treating at the church down the street from us. She slept through the entire thing. A went as a nerd (yes, she actually had to dress up - LOL) - and J wore his dirt bike gear. I'll post them later.
After earning all the stickers on the back of the helmet - today they have to turn them in. Here's a picture of them all first. We tried to take them off so he could save them, but they started tearing.
Here are a few pictures from J's football season. The team made it to the playoffs, but they were eliminated in the first game against No. 1 Northwest. All the boys appeared to have a great time and have become good friends. On a side note: I survived my first year of watching my son play tackle football. It wasn't as hard to watch as I thought it would be, and he's ready for next year!
Can this be true? Is my "little girl" really 12 years old? Where have the past 12 years gone? As I reflect on how much she has grown, I am also struck by how much I have grown, too. Not to mention how much our family has grown, adding Dad, a 9 year old brother and a 4 month old sister. This 5'1 tall young lady in the room next to mine was once the 7lb 14oz 22in baby I brought home from the hospital. As she transformed into the smiley/drooling 6 month old pictured on the right - I should have realized how fast time was going then. I thank God for showering me/us with grace as a single mother back then. There were so many things he was working in our lives then - that I am beginning to see now. I'm thankful that He continues to show us grace and cover us in His love.
A after her band concert tonight. She did a beautiful job on the flute. The entire program was nice. What a talented group of young people. Most of them practice daily, take private lessons once a week, and attend 2 hour band rehersals every Tuesday. She has been enjoying the experience greatly. Oh yeah - Tomorrow is her 12th birthday!!!!
You may notice from time to time I will post lyrics to a song that is impacting my thought life at the moment. I don't post these lyrics simply because of a lack of original thoughts on my part to share. I post these lyrics because at many stages in my life God has used music to reach me and keep my thoughts, and I wish to share the music lyrics with all of you.
Wonderful Savior My heart belongs to Thee I will remember always the blood you shed for me Wonderful Savior My heart will know Your worth So let me embrace You always as I walk this earth
Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high Be treasured here, be glorified I owe my life to You, my Lord Here I am...

This is not my first blog. I usually blog elsewhere, although not on a regular basis. I am moving some of my previous blogs here at the request of several of my friends who blog here regularly. So I now officially have 2 blog sites and one family photo site. Please understand that with this many online "obligations" one or all of these will be neglected at one time or another.
