Family! Summer = Watermelon

Summer = Watermelon

Caden and I were grocery shopping the other day when I saw a huge bin of melons! Yay! I showed him how to thump the melons and find the perfect one. Caden drummed on it quite contentedly, tried to eat it, and hugged it!

When we cut it open, it was love at first sight... and one of the best watermelons we've had in a long time.

Think Like God Thinks

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  Romans 12:2

Don’t let the world squeeze you into its mold.  Instead, “be transformed by the renewing of your mind”!  THINK a new way – like God thinks.  When you see something in the Bible say “I agree with that.  From now on I’m believing that instead of what I use to think.”  Soon you’ll find yourself believing and thinking the way God thinks.

Changed!

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Changed! It’s what happens to you as you spend time in God’s Word and in prayer.  You’ll learn a new way of thinking; your “outside” will be transformed! Instead of being like the world, you’ll begin to change to the image of God in you. You were created in the IMAGE of GOD!

Family! Who Does Caden Look Like?

Often we get the question "Does Caden look like Daddy or Mommy?" We like to think he's a perfect blend between both of us. Now that he's older though, his personality is really starting to shine! 

Some days he looks just like Daddy, from the cute little faces, to the adventurous look in his eyes, to his mischievous smile, to the beautiful curly hair.

Sweet Sleep

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalms 4:8

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Proverbs 3:24

Sometimes (day or  night) there may be thoughts that try to come to you…nightmares, evil reports or sometimes just being afraid of something. These verses are a promise to you that as you trust in God and His Words of Protection, You can choose to focus on His Word and come to a place of Peace and Safety on the inside of your heart. You can rest in Peace. You do not have to be in Fear. You have angels surrounding you. God loves you and is for you. God has not given you a spirit of Fear. You can rely on His Word for you today!
