None but Jesus

We sang this song at church today.

This song touched me!

There is none but Jesus!

These are the lyrics:

In the quiet, in the stillness

I know that You are God

In the secret of Your presence

I know there I am restored

When You call I won’t refuse

Each new day again I’ll choose

There is no one else for me

None but Jesus

Crucified to set me free

Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion

I know You’re Sovereign still

In the moment of my weakness

You give me grace to do Your will

When You call I won’t delay

This my song through all my days

All my delight is in You Lord

All of my hope, all of my strength

All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore

Wow! This is my prayer!

Easter Egg Coloring and Hunting

We had a blast coloring Easter eggs this year! And the kids went on 5 or more Easter egg hunts. A few here at our house, one with Church and one at Emma's birthday party!

Sorry for all the pictures, I got a little carried away. They were all so cute. Hope you enjoyed. And we hope your Easter was filled with as much Hope and Joy as ours was!

Thank You Lord!

I just want to share this picture with all of you. I have National Geographic Picture Of the Day on my Google homepage. This is Today's Picture.

Snow Day here in Tennessee!

This is our little hiker and her backpack that Daddy carries her in.

Well, you would know that we could not get our camera to work when Tone and Maddie were building their big snow woman. Maddie named her, NatalyMaddie. But, Tone and Maddie did go on a hike yesterday. It was Maddie's idea and as you can imagine Tone jumped at the chance to go for a hike. He is such a good daddy! Zach and I will join them on their adventures when it warms up.

Big Sister is teaching me to read!

Maddie truly is a great big sister. I am not just saying that, she loves this baby boy more than you can imagine. When she saw him for the first time her face just lit up. I will never forget that special moment. One thing Maddie loves to do is read. We call her the librarian. She is passing her love of books along to her baby brother!
I love when Maddie reads to Zach and he does too!

"God Stop"

When I woke up this morning I immediately opened my Bible and started reading. I prayed for the day ahead and thanked the Lord for all my blessings. Then I heard my sweet Madelyne calling for me. I got up and walked into her room and was so pleasantly greeted with her sweet sleepy face. She got up and went to the couch. I went into her room for something, I heard a beautiful song outside. I looked out the window and saw about 20 or so little birds sitting in the bushes singing and eating. It was like God was saying, "Good Morning".

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Psalm 143:8

Believing God

I am currently in a Bible Study by Beth Morre

Believing God

"You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "and my servant Whom I have chosen, so that you may know and belive me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me."

Isaiah 43:10

Based on Isaiah 43:10, Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith

explores what it means to believe God. Through studying the lives of Abraham, Moses, and others from Hebrews 11 as examples of persons who believed God.

I am throughly enjoying this study and I am amazed at how the Lord is working in my life and in my family. I know that it is His will for me to be a part of this study with these women. One of my favorite parts of this study is our homework, yes homework and I love it! At the end of each lesson we have a place to write called "God Stop". A God Stop is anyway God discloses Himself to you. It is meant for bedtime, based on Psalm 63:6: "On my bed I remember you." This has become one of my favorite things to do. It is helping me grow more aware of God in my everyday life. It has made me realize that there are no coincidences, it is God.
