Art Club

Makenna has been in the after school art club at the Cultural Center for about a month and a half. She is really enjoying the hour a week she gets to do art there. She says Abby is really nice. Makenna has learned about the artists. She comes home and teaches us what colors one artist liked to paint with or that one artist painted while he was sad. This was the painting she did today. It is a self portrait with her pet. I am glad she is enjoying it so much.

Our Valentine's Day

On Saturday the kids and I went with Stacey to the winter guard competition in Ft. Wayne. It was Valentine's Day and the girls/parents made goody bags for the kids to enjoy.

The kids really enjoy being around the girls.

Here is a small piece of the show. The girls did a good job on Saturday and placed 7th.

When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong

God said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Cor 12.9-10)

Ready For You

This song has been on my playlist lately. The words have become my prayer the past few days.

"I am willing to put all my faith in Your plan...Cleanse all of my mind that is not of You. Break me, teaching me how to find rest in Your hands...I'm needing to make Your will be done and I'm letting go of my control..."

I Pledge Allegiance

Miracle Of The Moment

I think this could be the theme song for Pastor Kris' new series at church. I heard it today and it made me think about what I am doing with "the moment". I don't want to be in the past or the future. I want to be right here. I want to spend as much time with my kids as I can. They are growing up so fast! I don't want to miss a single thing! I want to learn how God wants me to live and show His love. I want my "moment" to be one that makes a difference.

Spring Fever

It was a little chilly but we went outside for a walk this afternoon. I hope it helped to relieve some "spring fever" the kids have. They love to be outside and can't wait until it warms up a bit. I am ready too.
