Over the last two weeks I have had the opportunity to be blessed by a very precious family. The mother shared this with me. It is something she wrote. Very inspiring!
"We for far too long have told individuals where their potential would end. How about daring to dream and allow no limits to that which an individual dares to hope for and believe in. Hope begins with a belief in a possibility!" ~ Beth Malarkey
By the way - I dropped my camera and it is broken. Until I get a new one (hmmm?) the pictures will be limited. :(

Anna's Prayer
"Dear Lord, Thank you for loving us. Thank for our family. Thank you for Earth Day. I think I see some trash I can pick up to take care of the earth. Thank you for blessings. In Jesus Name, Amen."

"appreciate"
"Momma, I appreciate it if we had hot dog buns." ~Anna
My mom and dad brought dinner. HOT DOGS! But we ate them on bread instead of buns, thus Anna's comment. :)

Don't Waste Your Life
This is a book by John Piper and I highly recommend it! Here are some quotes that struck me during my devos:
"God loves us by liberating us from the bondage of self so that we can enjoy knowing and admiring him forever."
"He is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him."
"God created us to live with a single passion to joyfully display his supreme excellend in all the spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives."

annoyed
Anyone else easily annoyed with the new Blogger? I am annoyed that I can't figure out how to post a movie clip, easily center my pictures, and well, a few other things.
Awana Grand Prix
Kate and Anna participated in the Awana Grand Prix. Kate's car got voted second place for design. It is a strawberry car and her Grandpa Mike helped her design it, as did Anna. The trophy caused quite a meltdown for little Anna. Siblings....

Suffering
One of my colleagues just shared this quote with me this morning and I love it!
"Suffering often indicates that God is setting us free from something so that we can follow and embrace Him more deeply. Walking in His life will always mean you are going against the grain. Don't expect your circumstances to conform easily on this journey. They will resist it at every turn. God wants to teach you how to walk with Him through these things so that you can know a joy and peace that transcends circumstances."
WOW!! Powerful, powerful!
