He's Greater

Bring your tired

Bring your shame

Bring your guilt

Bring your pain

Don’t you know that’s not you’re name

You will always be much more to me

Every day I wrestle with the voices

That keep telling me I’m not right

But that’s alright

‘Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed

When others say I’ll never be enough

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

In the world

In the world

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

Bring your doubts

Bring your fears

Bring your hurt

Bring your tears

There’ll be no condemnation here

You are holy, righteous and redeemed

Every time I fall

There’ll be those who will call me

A mistake

Well that’s ok

There’ll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn’t matter

‘Cause the cross already won the war

He’s Greater

He’s Greater

I am learning to run freely

Understanding just how He sees me

And it makes me love Him more and more

He’s Greater

He’s Greater

My Blog: Working on Me!

Yes! I am at it again and hopefully I will keep it up. My niece just started blogging and she reminded me how much of a stress reliever it was. I SOMETIMES NEED THAT. I also, need to continually remind my flesh and my mouth of the "New Me" that I am determined to be. I don't always have to say what I think, put my two cents in, stir the pot, or get dragged into D*R*A*M*A! "They are not my monkeys and this is not my circus" is one of my new sayings. I am learning, especially at work, that the less I talk; the less stress I have. From now on, I am taking care of my business while being a blessing to others and without getting sucked into negative junk and drama that really isn't my concern anyway. I am LOVED, FORGIVEN, and REDEEMED (physically, spiritually, financially, and socially). I have the Blessing of God on my life and I refuse to let stress, negativity, or drama steal my joy nor my peace.

Two Teenagers in the House!!!

My Beautiful daughter, Caitlyn, turned 13 today and I am not too sure how I feel about that. I have tried so hard to keep her young minded and innocent, but this feesl like she now in a whole new world. I know she is a wonderful, Godly, young lady, so I am not worried about her. I just don't want her to change to fast and yet I know that that is where we are headed.

Or....maybe it is more about me. Have I done everything I could to prepare for the next few years? I guess everybody has these thoughts and I never thought that it would bother me, but boy it has eaten at me all day. Of course, I am old enough to have two teenagers, but I don't think I was ready for my girl to cross that line.

I pray every day for God's will in the lives of my children and that every step they make is guided by him and that is what I am going to stand on. He perfects that which concerns me and I rely on my faith in what he has done for all of us.

On a lighter note....What a great day and special way to celebrate a birthday. Church this morning as a family, steaks on the grill for lunch (thanks mom & dad), and a Birthday dinner at Genghis Grill with the whole crew. Thanks everyone for joining us! She had a great time.

Happy Birthday Caitlyn Cheyenne!! I LOVE YOU THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!

Summer Vacation is Here!

I have been sitting here for a few minutes just thinking about how wonderful teaching is. A few good reasons for this thought are: spending your days with children-keeps you young, adding to another person's life-makes your heart happy, having teachers' hours-frees up time for your own family, and...do I have to say it? SUMMER! SUMMER! SUMMER VACATION!!!

Tomorrow is actually the first day of my Summer! I am SOOO ready. I have been counting down the days since Spring Break. Chad and I and the kids leave on Wednesday to head to Florida for a week. We are all very anxious. It has been 3 years since we have been to Disney World and Denim remembers the stories more than she actually remembers being there. So, we are going to spend four days there. We are going to make a point to do our favorite things put also experience some new things. You know? This will be our 3rd trip and there are lots of things we haven't seen or done. Plus, my old best friend, Brandi, and her family are going. So I know that will be fun when we all hook up. Our whole trip wont be at Disney though. We are spending a few days on North Redington Beach playing in the ocean and laying on the beach. We are also going to drive around and see some places like Tampa Bay and Cape Canaveral.

If you can't tell? I am super excited to get there! Even been going through pics from past trips and that just makes the waiting worse. It will be here soon enough though.

Have a Great Summer Everyone!

Lost It ALL!!

Okay. So I have to start all over on my blog. I was in the middle of changing my layout.I downloaded the one I had so that I didn't lose it and then started changing stuff.  I previewed the new one. Everything looked fine, so I saved it. When I clicked "view blog" it went to the new layout for like 5 seconds and the screen went blue and I couldn't get out of it or back in without going back to Bloggers home page. I tried and tried to figure it out, but NO. So I was going to go back to the old one for now. Yeah NO that didn't work either. I can't find where it downloaded to. I have spent days trying to find it. So I guess I lost it all and now I HAVE TO START FROM MY CLASSIC TEMPLATE. J~O~Y!!!!  So, give me a bit. It will all be neat and cute in a few days and IF ANYONE HAS ANY NEW IDEAS OR PLACSE TO GET NEW STUFF FOR BLOGGER PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Mother's Day 2011

Wow! Mother's Day has already came and gone. But, although it went by fast it did seem to last all weekend. Chad and I had a date night Friday. On Saturday we watched the parade from home, went to Foxfest for a bit, went Mother's Day shopping, and finished the night with a nice family dinner. Then, Sunday was the best Mother's Day ever: church, lunch with my mom, and spent the afternoon floating around the pool soaking up some sun. It was such a peaceful, fun day. The only complaint was that Dalton wasnt up to par and wouldnt let me take his picture. Other than that my Mother's Day was everything I could have asked for. Im soo blessed to be the mom of three amazing children. It is like having Mother's Day every day. I cant forget my husband and all he did. Thank you guys. I love you all!
