My Heart sings....

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:3

This sweet sweet spirit of this little girl lightens up any day! I have been feeling the need to share the gospel more with strangers... but where is my courage? Where does my voice disappear to when I open my mouth? I know the need is great ... but I am small. So I have prayed and prayed that something might move me to get beyond my own self and become bold for the name of Jesus. well God answers prayers using sometimes the very small to do big things! This little girl of mine God is using... not only to open my eyes but the eyes of others. We will be in the grocery store or target or anywhere and all the sudden out of such a small little girl comes this sweet voice of both innocence and courage singing (very loud) Jesus loves me all three verses! or Jesus loves the little chilren of the world.... or what hits me This little light of mine I GONNA LET IT SHINE... won't let satan blow it out or hide it under a bushel, NO I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine till Jesus comes! There is no hiding, there is no shame... I pray she never loses this, I now understand what Christ meant when He said to have a childlike Faith... Wow. I am encouraged now every time I step foot out the door with my little singing angel by my side. Thank you God for renewing my spirit... may I use it for your Glory.

You put a song in my soul and wanna let it out
Your Spirit in my life well it makes me want to shout
I'm moved to sing with every beat of my heart
You put a song in my soul when you made me

People think I'm crazy when I'm praising your name
Well, I get so excited 'cause there's nothing quite the same
The smile on my face comes from the smile in my heart
You put a song in my soul when you made me

I will still be singing 'til the day that I die
And Lord I heard you promise a home up in the sky
My joy is in your Spirit, and song in your name
You put a song in my soul when you made me! (C'mon)

Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to you
Song in my soul, And I'll give the praise to you
Song in my soul, I will give my life to you
Song in my soul!
Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to you
Song in my soul, And I'll give the praise to you
Song in my soul, I will give my life to you
Song in my soul!

Everybody needs to know that your love endures forever (love endures forever)
Everybody praise His name, lift your voice in worship to the Father (worship the Lord)

I love you my sweet sweet little girl... may God continue to use you for His glory!

Love,

These two absolutely ADORE each other! I love it!

For the last couple of weeks M has been cooing and smiling... he is such a handsome little man ( okay I may be a bit bias but it his pretty stinkin' cute!) I think he looks like the mini version of daddy with a hint of asian flare! :-D

As M gets older I am seeing that he is one patient little dude. He is almost always happy in any situation even when his cousins and sister smoother him with love!

Last tuesday we had a house full as Gma L and Gpa J came out and stopped in for dinner... we had to celebrate the big 70 with her! And Bless L & A &boys for coming up under a 4hr notice! We love you guys and are so thankful we can have you up here on a whim!

Cheers to Gma L!

I feel so blest and as the 1yr anniversary of living up her rolls around... I continue to thank God for the family and friends he has blest us with... no matter the distance, we cherish them and every moment we are able to spend with them!

Here comes Fall! Enjoy!

Love,
