Music.

Cannot stop humming this song tonight... So I thought I would share it with you guys. Blessings to you this night.


In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

I will stand, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground, all other ground
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand
So I stand

Promises.

I don't know about you, but I have been in need of some reminders lately. Reminders of how good our God is, and of how much His promises can be trusted.


"Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!"
Psalm 27:14

"And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."
Psalm 9:10

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21

Zoe's Birthday.

It's official... my daughter is a year old. It's still hard for me to believe. It completely amazes me how it still feels like I just brought her home from the hospital... I can still remember everything so clearly. And yet here we are, one year later. It has been a good year. Zoe has enriched our lives in ways I never thought possible. She has challenged us and grown us because of it. She is a continuous source of joy and laughter.... We love her.

And I am glad to report, that her very first birthday bash was a success! We had yummy food and great friends and family there to celebrate Zoe. Here are some pictures of the happy occasion.

Well everyone, once again I must ask for your forgiveness... I cannot believe it has been a month since I last posted something! I have been SO busy and I am so sorry. I promise I'll make it up to you :)

She thinks she's pretty hot stuff.

Chillin'.

Walking Daddy to class. She was a little sleepy.

I am a firm believer, that every little girl should wear leggings and tutus.

It has finally gotten a little chilly out!

Her very first pair of skinny jeans.

Zoe's first pumpkin patch experience.

AND here is the winner! She picked it herself.
