Aunt Rebecca


Yes now I am an aunt. My sister had her new baby girl, Hayleigh Lane on December 11th. She was 7 pounds and 6 oz. She is so cute. Here in the picture above she is laying with the dress that I knitted for her, for Christmas. It wont fit her for awhile but she will grow into it some day. She is very sweet and wish I could hold her all the time.

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Most people think it is all the yummy food you can eat and getting together with family. Which is some of the good parts, but I always enjoyed hearing the story of the pilgrims and there first Thanksgiving. But what I think is the most important is thanking God for all that he has done to shape who we are today. Through the struggles and the times that were good. We can look back and see God was there leading us all the way. Though when we go through the trials we don't always see Him, thats when I think of the Footprints in the sand poem:

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of

footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.



When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of

his life there was only one set of footprints.



He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:


"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."



The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

That God caries us through those times that are rough. And we can thank Him every step of our life time, the good and troublesome. So thank you Lord for those times in my life that have been struggles, because I know you have a plan and that over all your Kingdom will over rule and you will reign forever. - Amen

But then of course we can enjoy the food, the Lord has provided and enjoy our family and friends on the day we are to be thankful!! Have a happy Thanksgiving!!

Picture Crazy

Well lately Hannah and I have been taking pictures like it's our last time.  Every were we look we find amazing places to say "cheese!"  It's incredable the way God has designed this earth, even for us to take pictures on.  We look around us today and miss the beautiful art work our Father has painted for our eyes to gaze upon.  I think of that song Indescribable by Chris Tomlin.  It talks about different pictures of our world and how God is so amazing.

This is Maddie and I on a sunny afternoon.



This is Gunner, Seth's dog, and I while walking through the woods.

And this is Hannah and I while strolling along.
