~Reading~

 Psalm 33 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!

Praise befits the upright.

2 Give thanks to the Lord with the jlyre;

make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

3 Sing to him a new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

4 For the word of the Lord is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

5 He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;

he puts the deeps in storehouses.

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

9 For he spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

he frustrates the plans of the peoples.

11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,

the plans of his heart to all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!

13 The Lord looks down from heaven;

he sees all the children of man;

14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out

on all the inhabitants of the earth,

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all

and observes all their deeds.

16 The king is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,

and by its great might it cannot rescue.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in his steadfast love,

19 that he may deliver their soul from death

and keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

he is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart is glad in him,

because we trust in his holy name.

22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,

even as we hope in you.

Around The House:-)

Philippians 1:21-23 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

 

Karsten was learning about moses the other day.

...Earlier this week Karsten was explaining to me about how busy he was, he said that he has so much to do, so then I asked what to do you need to do, he said " well, first I have to finish school and then I need to eat some watermelon and then most of all I have to play with Kendell:-) I thought that was so funny!

Our freinds the Pearses gave us this

 Croquet set and we have been relly enjoying it! Thank you Pearses:)

Kyle is now 11 months and growing fast:-) His giggles are the best and he is starting to take tiny steps!! Yay Kyle:-)

This is my favorite tea, I have a cup every Day!

Kollin and Karsten make the perfect cute team!

I love kisses!

 

This week has been pretty busy, we are moving to another house Friday, so packing has been keeping us on our feet ,a lot. These past two weekends we have had garage sales(Sorry no pictures.) trying to get rid of all the junk that we do not need, which is  a huge blessing in our lives! I  hope everybody is doing well! May we rejoice in knowing that it is better to live as Christ and die as gain!

Happy Birthday!

Mommy:
May God’s blessings abound to you
In every little way
May you taste and see His goodness
Every time you kneel to pray
May your day be brightened more
With your Father’s loving touch
And may you sense He’s with you now
And loves you very much

My Week At Ellerslie

 Hello Dear Lovely Friends :-)

 I hope you are enjoying the start of your week. I know I am! So, last Monday I went to Ellerslie and returned home on Sunday). I had such a lovely time meditating on Jesus, from the time I woke up to the time going to bed, it is a very beautiful place, every thing is centered around our King there. Such a beautiful thing.

It was so encouraging to be in the presence of the Lord, and to have so many other people that are so passionate about Jesus around you. I so enjoyed Ellerslie in so many ways, the sweet fellowship with other devoted Christians, seeing the men open the doors for all of us girls and take our plates for us after dinner and doing it in such a pure and God centered way. Spending time with Jesus, learning more about Him, spending time worshiping Him. Talking about and hearing about God every where I turn, sweet times of talking with other ladies over tea, hearing such good preaching, and so many other things that went on were so awesome:-) I learned so much in just the short time I was there.http://www.ellerslie.com/Home.html

Me and Melanie, who I met through her blog...:)She is sooooooooooooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!

Watching someone be baptized, so beautiful!

Sweet Tasha, who did my hair a few times.

The wonderful views from the campus. You can so see Gods glory and majesty through the Sunset....

Me and Keaghlan...

The campus

I had such a wonderful time going on a walk with you Melanie !

Sweet Jessica, who I mentioned to that I liked Thai tea and she made me some....YUMMY!

We went on a walk where they asked us not to talk with one another so we could put our focus on Jesus and meditate on Him. After the walk we had a picnic and some wonderful fellowship!
