Keep Walkin' On-Faith Hill

Well in this world of sorrow, trouble and temptation
Jesus always promised trial and tribulation
Then He said, "You don't have to fret or fear
Children, be of good cheer and keep walkin' on"
Children, keep walkin' on, keep walkin' on
Keep walkin' on, keep walkin' on
In Jesus Christ the truth is found
He'll keep our feet on solid ground
Sometimes we have to just believe
What He put in the Book for us to read
Satan you can't fool this girl
My Lord overcame this world
And I'm walkin' on, yeah
I'm walkin' onLord, I'm walkin' on,
yeah I'm walkin' on
Well Jesus walked on the water,
Peter walked on it too
God gave you the power to do what you cannot do
Every road we travel He's traveled down before
There ain't no need to worry where it leads to anymore
I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' onI'm walkin' on,
I'm walkin' on, I'm walkin' on
Well the road is narrow and it's straight
But it leads right up to the Golden Gate
It may be rough it may be long
But I don't have to walk alone
Step by step and day by day
He takes my hand and I hear Him say
Keep walkin' on, gotta keep walkin' on
Oh, keep walkin' on, oh keep walkin' on
What you gonna do, can't pay the rent
Yeah what you gonna do when the money's spent
What you gonna do when you just can't cope
Hey, what you gonna do when you're outta hope
Oh, keep walkin' on, oh keep walkin' on....

Pictures-Again!

Lil Miss Muffett loves to sleep ALL OVER her crib.....Mom asked me tonite where her pillow was.......well she doesn't have one yet cuz she never stays in one place!
She has been getting quite the attitude with her big brother....she wants to do EVERYTHING
he does and has been actually pushing him out of the way at times so she can take over.....

And along with her new attitude has come more temper tantrums ;( *sigh*

Sunday we had some of our dear friends....that we LOVE oh so much....Steve & Reenie over.
The kids were smitten........looks like they have acquired another set of grandparents!


Gabe had the greatest time with Steve....we love you guys!!

Praise

Psalm 103:1-51
Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
PRAISE IS THE PRESCRIPTION FOR YOUR PAIN...Pastor Steven Furtick
I read this tonite on his wife's blog. So that's what I've been forgetting the last couple days.
To praise God even though my back continues to hurt. I have told Him thank You for taking
the spasms away, but I forgot to tell Him thank You for the rest.
1-That I'm able to walk again
2- That therapy is slowly helping
3-That our kids are healthy
4-That Jason is healthy
5- That He continues to provide us with every need
6- That Jason still has a job when I keep hearing of others losing theirs
7- For the beautiful greenness outside and our landscaping BLOOMING overnite!
Thank You Father....for loving us so completely. We love You so much.

Praise Report

Gabe had a checkup with his pediatric allergist today and we got good news!!!
He has not had to use any breathing treatments since we saw her in January
and he's doing well on his strict diet. She would like to start re-introducing foods
back into his diet slowly. He did not end up having to do any more skin tests, we
are going to try more labwork instead so as not to torture him anymore ;)

Other good news: The weather is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful and spring has
finally arrived. The kids are so happy to be outside.......the all town garage sales
are this weekend and I've found some pretty awesome bargains!!!!

We are 1 week away from Jason's musical: Once Upon A Mattress and things are coming
together nicely. After some minor setbacks, they are up and running again and he is smiling
instead of biting his nails ;)

Hava happy weekend and enjoy the sunshine!!!

This is Good...


3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved."
Ephesians 1

Pictures-Weekend Recap

Another good weekend....Jason is officially better after missing 1 whole week of school because of sickness!!! Yuck! The monkies entertained us all weekend......Ellie loves wearing hats...especially if they are Gabe's!
My parents, Paw-Paw Doc, Jase and I got to see Michael W. Smith/Steven Curtis Chapman for the United Tour.....it was amazing!!!!

We had great seats....

Steven talked alot about their little Maria Sue who went to be with Jesus almost a year ago.
It was so touching and heart wrenching to watch and listen to him praise God despite all the pain.



They have so much fun with their trucks....who woulda ever thunk it that Ellie would be such a tomboy???? She has 4 baby dolls and NOT A ONE does she play with!!
I put them to work one day helping me clean up the messy kitchen...they were in Heaven!

Bear the Crown

"Honestly, if you are trying to pursue relationship out of forced conviction, you will miss out on the glory of falling in love with the Maker of your soul. There is such a difference between religion and relationship. I could not have survived without the latter, I assure you.

We who are followers of the King must daily wake up and look in the mirror, seeing our reflection with a crown of thorns balanced on our heads. We must feel the burden of the cross at different points in our life, and with the power of Christ Himself, we will look solemnly back at ourselves and say, "I am choosing to bear the crown because I cannot live without the love..."
