Our anniversary is coming in 2 days. It will be our 7 year anniversary. I am thanful that God brought us togother. God is so awsome. He know us better than we know our selfs. He knows the kind of husband or wife we need. Tim is a great husband and father. I am thankful we get to walk this road of life togother. He is my best friend. I am thankful God has given me the opportunity to trust and love some one so much. I am thankful that God has allowed me to be his help mate.

There are days

There are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin
Then there days when I feel
I'm letting go and soaring on the wind

Cause I've learned in laughter or in pain
How to survive

CHORUS
I get on my knees
I get on my knees
There I am before the lord
That changes me
See I don't know how
But there's power
When I'm on my knees

I can be in a crowd
Or by myself almost anywhere
When I feel there's a need
To talk with God He is Emmanuel

When I close my eyes
No darkness there
There's only light


I get on my knees
I get on my knees
there I am before the lord
that changes me
See I don't know how but there's power
In the blue skies
And in midnight
When I'm on my knees

CHORUS

A Prayer

A Prayer
by Katherine Kehler
Lord, little by little You are getting through my befuddled mind to teach me another practical concept about living a life pleasing to You.
Lord Jesus, I know You said that in this world we would have troubles, but for some reason, I really thought there would be fewer problems as I aged. That I would become wiser. But life becomes more complicated.
I wonder, Lord, is it because You need to constantly remind us that this earth is not our home…that we are heaven bound?
So many times I forget that people, circumstances or things cannot give me happiness; only You can. I realize now that my discouragement can be because of the lack of trusting You.
This day, Lord, I pray that You will enable me to trust You each time a problem arises. Whenever I get stressed, remind me to turn my eyes on You and Your sufficiency.
My help comes from You, Lord.
Amen.

My Tribute

Words and Music by Andrae Crouch
© 1971 Bud John Songs, Inc.

How can I say thanks
For the things You have done for me,
Things so undeserved,
Yet You gave to prove Your love for me.
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.

To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me,
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done.

Just let me live my life,
Let it be pleasing, Lord, to Thee,
And if I gain any praise,
Let it go to Calvary.
With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me,
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done.

To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me,
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done.

Adventures in mommy hood

I woke up early this morning to my two year old throwing a fit. After getting through that by the grace of God I mopped my kitchen floor. Which had last nights dinner dried on it. The Children peacefully finished their breakfast and took the bowls to the dishwasher. My two year old spilled he cereal bowl all over the newly mopped kitchen floor. After that I prayed for patients, strength and a loving attitude. As if timing was everything My two year old walks out of the play room with poop in his hand. yes poop in his hand. so we walk to the bathroom. The poop falls out of his pants and then of course he steps in it. I scrubbed the bathroom floor. Which by the way I cleaned the bathroom last night while the children where in the bath. So I cleaned it again. Changing my sons clothes for the third time today. and it is only 9am.

The last couple of days have be very peaceful. God has been so good to give me a 2 day break. God is great. He gives us what we need when we need it. All I need to do is to depend on Him when it time to scrub the floor for the third time this today.

As my day went on the children quited down climbed into bed with each other are read books it was very sweet. It was the break. I need in my day. The Lord is so good!

Caden rides on 2 wheels

It is such a beautiful spring day. I took the kids out to ride bikes on our street. Caden learned to ride a 2 wheel bike today. He was so scared to try but he knows how to know. It is so neat to watch your children learn new things. He is growing up so fast.
