It's been a while

Well it's been a while. I'm sorry. Turns out I'm not very good at this blogging. Which, eh not everybody is great at everything.

But I just wanted to say, Yes I do still know the password and my log in ID to this site. HA. :)

Pictures soon! I promise. I just did some SR pictures today, and family shots at the SR banquet last week, and a wedding next weekend. So I've got some material to work with. Yay!

And b/c posts are so much more fun with pictures. Here's one with me and some of the girls at the SR banquet. :) Arn't we fun?

In case you were wondering.... Julio told us to be tigers.... What Cassie is doing, I'm not so sure.

Anyway, I love you and be blessed!

Training

So I don't have any pictures today, but I woke up this morning and couldn't go back to sleep so I got up and decided to poke around on the computer for a spell. And it's been a while since I've put up a new post so. Anyway, yesterday I got home from an overnight training for the Ignite team. (Which is basically a core of kids in our youth group that is joined together by being leaders, sort of and have a heart for just searching out the Lord.) Anyway, I'm a leader and help out with it. But it was basically just a foundations training, Oh and plus fun time with everyone. Which was nice to get a refresher course on certain bible verses. But we watched a you tube video about Kim Walker she a musician and she sings this song, OH How He Loves Us. And it's just so incredible.... but it's so true how he loves us. But the lyrics just hit me every time and I just wanted to share them with you.

"He is jealous for me. Loves like a hurricane I am tree, bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy. When all of a sudden I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory. And I realize just how beautiful and how great you affections are for me.

Oh how he loves, oh how he loves, HOW HE LOVES.

We are his portion and he is our prize. Drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes. If grace is an ocean were all sinking. Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss. And my heart turns violently in my chest. I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way… He loves us, Oh how he loves us, Oh how he loves, OH HOW HE LOVES."

Check out the video on You tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoC1ec-lYps

And check out her website to get the CD, which I will promptly be ordering.

I just can't believe how real it is... But seriously think about how true this.

If his grace is an ocean then we are sinking.

Wow! Just wow.

So, I decided that all of the famous bloggers are right. A post is better with a picture so here goes:

This is the Ignite Team (this is the group photo from the retreat in November)

Anyway, I just thought I'd share this with you! I hope you all have a blessed day. And I pray that you all encounter just how great our father's love is for us!!
