For the Moments I Feel Faint

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you, you're wrong.
Never underestimate my Jesus.
When the world around you crumbles,
He will be strong.
He will be strong.

I throw up my hands.
"Oh the impossibilities."
Frustrated and tired,
where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly.
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fears.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think You can, I think You can.
I think I can't, I think I can't.
But, I think You can, I think You can.
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in Your hands.
Place them in Your hands.
Place them in Your hands.

I know You can.

It's Alyssa Jean! The life of the party. :)

These were taken last Thanksgiving! Wow... what do you think? Have we changed that much?

Oh my goodness.
You know who these people are? They would be me, Colin, and Sherry. (Alida took the picture.)We're doing school ~ a crawdad dissection, to be exact. Good times, for sure.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my daddy's birthday! I don't need to tell you how old he is, because it really doesn't matter all that much. It's a day to celebrate what an amazing husband, father, son, son-in-law, and friend he is!
"Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?"
My daddy is faithful, and I love him so very much!

He also makes us laugh a lot.

Costumes!

The Pirate King.
Pirates of Penzance still gets listened to at least once a week at our house, and Johnny pretty much has the whole thing memorized!

The (real life) basketball player.

Sprout, nephew of the Jolly Green Giant.

The beautiful Senorita.

The Chiquita Banana Lady.

And the sweet Prairie Girl.

Becky Girl

I miss Becky.
She is at college, getting on with her young adult life. (I am very happy and excited for her in this, by the way! Don't want to sound bitter here.) But she will always be my little sister, my dearest friend. And I miss her an awful lot.
