It was 18 years ago today that I decided to cross the line of faith and accepted Jesus as my Savior. I can't say that it's been perfect, because I'm not perfect, or that all my problems just vanished. But what I can say is that He has been faithful. He has always been there by my side, through good times & bad. I can't imagine a life without Him to turn to. He is my Hope, my Refuge, my Lord. Thank you Jesus for loving me & taking my sins from me so that I might know you. Praise God!
I just had to share this picture that Rebekah drew at school. Each of her class had to draw a picture detailing part of the Easter story. They were so cute I asked the teacher if I could have them compiled into a book for the whole class. Anyway, this is my daughter's part of the story. She had to draw a part of Maundy Thursday and the taking of bread at communion. In the picture, that is her taking communion, as opposed to the disciples on Maundy Thursday. What cracked me up though this: note the boots! ;) Hee-hee.
The chauffeuring has begun. Saturday I spent most of the day in the car with Rebekah & Samantha. Rebekah had 2 soccer games in the morning, and then birthday party an hour after the game was over. We left the house at 9:30 a.m. & didn't get home until 5 p.m. And that was just for ONE KID. I'm just going to have to bring my laptop & a pillow with me everywhere when they're all doing activities!
I'll leave you with this layout. I did it a couple of weeks ago and just keep forgetting to add it to my blog. Kids are such a hoot!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31
Happy Birthday! It's awesome that you know and can celebrate the exact date.
Love that layout, especially the fun "curvy thingy" in the middle. It provides great movement between the photos.

For me, it has been 29 years. When you look at your kids having Jesus in their lives - do you think it is easierto find Him when you are older? I have no compass but my GK, and sometimes they can home with some doozes - most of their spiritual training is on our watch and that is the way I like it.
I hear you on the chauffeuring thing. WE only have one in softball but because of karate it takes two of us in two different rigs at two different times to get everybody to the games twice a week.
Miss Rebekah's drawing is beautiful - great idea about putting them all together. Great talking to you - it has been a while, Have four graduations, 2 weddings and two bridal showers. Have to take photos at a few of these events. Have a great day, zalaine
