Family! Cow Appreciation Day 2012

Thanks Chick-fil-a for a free lunch today! 

We had a blast dressing up Caden as a baby calf and taking the herd out for lunch. Caden even moo-ed a few times although it sounded like a bear, cows growl didn't ya know, silly ipod app that makes the cow sound like he's growling... And he kept his cute little ears on for quite a while. 

Caden's favorite part was drinking lemonade and playing in the kids area for the first time.

Made It! DIY Dry Erase Frame

For my birthday my brother gave me The Ultimate Insanely Super Hot Chili Pepper Cookbook. The recipes are truly insanely hot, David loves hot stuff so this is the perfect book. I loved the cover of the book, the colors and design are great. I've been wanting to decorate our kitchen but wasn't sure what to do, when I saw the cover I was inspired and decided on chili peppers! 

You Have The Power

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him (Jesus), that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.  Romans 6:6

If we are to live in Jesus’ fullness, we need to see ourselves crucified with Christ and raised with Him in His strength and abundance. Jesus is the One who conquered death, sickness, poverty, fear and shame.  Because Jesus lives in you, you have power on the inside of you to say NO to sin and choose to serve the God who made you and loves you!

Family! Caden's 1st Haircut

Well, I finally worked up enough courage to give Little Bear his 1st haircut.

After watching a few videos on you tube, to get an idea of what needed to be done. We armed ourselves with a popsicle, raisins, tape measure (one of Caden's favorite toys), and water bottle, put Caden in his high chair and started cutting...

Crucified With Christ

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  Galatians 2:20

We are crucified with Christ and Christ lives in us.  What does this mean?  Jesus became like us so we could become like Him.  He became a man and freely gave His life for you. Now we can choose to turn from our old ways and freely live our life for Him. We live this Christ life out by faith. Faith is believing and trusting God. We believe in the God who loved us and choose to live our life as testimony for Him.
