We serve our RISEN Saviour!
and...another one in celebration...an oldie but definitely a goodie!
Because He Lives
God Sent His Son,
They Called Him Jesus;
He Came To Love, Heal And Forgive.
He Lived And Died To Buy My Pardon;
An Empty Grave Is There To Prove My Savior Lives.
Chorus:
Because He LivesI Can Face Tomorrow
Because He LivesAll Fear Is Gone
Because I Know He Holds The Future
And Life Is Worth The Living Just Because He Lives
How Sweet To Hold A Newborn Baby,
And Feel The Pride And Joy He Gives;
But Greater Still The Calm Assurance:
This Child Can Face Uncertain Day Because He Lives.
Chorus
And Then One Day I'll Cross The River;
I'll Fight Life's Final War With Pain.
And Then, As Death Gives Way To Vict'ry,
I'll See The Lights Of Glory And I'll Know He Reigns.

Thank you God
This is the WEEK that the LORD has made!! Actually this past Sunday was the Day that the LORD made! I'll explain in another post!
As of today...Ben & I are on Spring Break...Jacob's starts after school tomorrow! I am thankful for some time at home, not at work, and w/ our boys!
I am so grateful for Jesus' Amazing & Redeeming LOVE!
I am looking forward to getting together with friends over the weekend! Excited to spend time w/ the Schworms!! Kelly too! YAY!
I am looking forward to spending time w/ family next week!
I am thankful for patient & understanding photographers. Unfortunately I have no cute "brother" pictures to show. We are trying again next week in hopes that little Ben will be in a better frame of mind!
My pansies look adorable & my tulips are trying to poke their way through! Today is the FIRST day of spring! God is beautiful!
I have another cold sore so I am thankful for the expensive Abreva.
I am thankful for beginnings, fresh starts, & new life.
What are you thankful for?! Rejoice and Be GLAD!

Marvelous Light
This one's for you daddy on behalf of the boys! and wonderful for Easter too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oA2ka7tnh8
I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me,
from my sleep
Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.
Sin has lost it's power,
death has lost it's sting.
From the grave you've risenVICTORIOUSLY!
Chorus
Into marvelous light I'm running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life,
you are the way
My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I'm free. now I'm free!
Lift my hands and spin around,
See the light that i have found.
Oh the marvelous light Marvelous light

LOVE
I just found out that March is National Craft Month so. . .
The ribbon isn't really ugly like it appears in the picture! It's a fun, "flowy" ribbon! I'm just not a good photographer.
The ribbon isn't really ugly like it appears in the picture! It's a fun, "flowy" ribbon! I'm just not a good photographer. I had it hanging on JM's guitar for him to randomly find. He found it!
I'm hoping I find time to do LOTS of crafting and scrapbooking!

3rd post in 1 day!
Here are a few pics as promised! Little Ben was so proud to have everyone at his art show. My parents drove up 2 1/2 hours just to see his sweet art and JM's parents came too. I think more than anything Ben was just so excited to be doing something he remembers Jacob doing.
Here he is looking for his sponge painted leaf. Where o where can my leaf be?!Monster Truck Favorites!
Here are a few of our favorites from our fun afternoon at the Monster Truck Jam.

We will sing, sing, sing
And make music with the heavens
We will sing, sing, sing
Grateful that You hear us
When we shout your praise
Lift high the name of Jesus
What's not to love about You?
Heaven and earth adore You
Kings and kingdoms bow down
Son of God, You are the One
You are the One we're living for
You are the love that frees us
You are the light that leads us
Like a fire burningSon of God,
You are the oneYou are the one
we're living for
We stayed home today b/c of the strep funk that I have but still wanted to bless the Lord this morning. (yep...the boys even broke out in a dance...ON THE BED) :) This is a beautiful song. Enjoy!
