Happy Birthday, Noah!!

EIGHT IS GREAT!!

Well, at least that is what Noah has been telling me all day!

It is hard to believe that my little man is growing so quickly. He still has the sweetest smile and is so smart he scares me sometimes. He definitely keeps Roscoe and I on our toes. One of the recent lessons we have been trying to teach him is self-control. Roscoe was telling him, "If you do not control yourself, someone else will control you." Good advice, right? Well, Noah, showing a perception beyond his years comes back with, "But don't we want God to control our life?" So, now we are having discussions on God-control vs. Self-control and how they work together. Although, it definitely keeps me challenged, I am so proud of how intune Noah is with spiritual concepts. He is still young child, but in many ways has a greater understanding of the Christian faith than some many times his age!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE MAN!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I wanted to take a few quick moments to wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day! Noah and Rachel were both so excited to go to school today to share their valentines with friends and teachers! I remember how much fun those school day valentines were.

As I was thinking about Valentine's Day, I couldn't help but be awed by the recurring realization of how much our Father above loves us! He gave us such a precious gift when He gave His son for us. That is so amazing!! Then, He continues to show His love for us by blessing us with family and friends to love and who love us. Isn't my God so great?!?! I hope that today each of you experience not only the love from you sweet-heart, family, and friends, but also the love of a God who loves you beyond imagination!!

Have a wonderful day!!
