forever this truth remains

Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven
Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever

Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains

I belong, I belong to you

Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise

Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains

I belong, I belong to you

i belong, kathryn scott

i love you jesus. thank you for saving me from darkness, for forgiving my sin, for making me clean, for giving me hope, for your unconditional love that i do not deserve. you are my saviour and my king, and i rest in the truth that i belong to you.

birthday pics

happy birthday to you!

he's started imitating our laughs.

will and nana

saturday

will sat in his wagon for probably 10 minutes pressing the same button on one of the toys he got. it made a really obnoxious sound. a continuous obnoxious sound that he was totally fascinated with.

paul's girl pushes him on the swing. haha. this was cracking me up.

another brother

my sister in law - her name is laura brown. sometimes this confuses things. haha. we love her to death.

first experience with balloons. pretty cool.

okay, so maybe i'll get some pictures of him eating his cake a little later. there was cake, i promise!

He's one!

We survived! It's time to celebrate.
oh, the lessons i've learned in the past year - we'll save that for another day.
i just noticed will is playing with my ring in the picture - funny.

Redeeming Love

i think this is the best book i've ever read - Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers. i finished it within a few days - i'm still thinking about it. read it and it will likely change you.

will's wagon

the mobile life

he loves to climb the stairs, and for you to help him walk down. i'm really wishing i lived in a ranch right now - not a split level!

a pouty face for good measure. he wanted to chew on papa jerry's cane, and i took it away. how could i?

james

i'm reading through james right now. hear are some snippits that spoke loud.

when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 1:6 don't doubt God

the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it, he will be blessed in what he does. 1:25 choose freedom, live in the Word and do it

mercy triumphs over judgment! 2:13 don't be judging people - give em a break

about the tongue - whoah

...Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water. 3:12 am i producing bitter words or words that give life? can't do both.
