not too mysterious.....

Deuteronomy 30:11

For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. Is is not in heaven that you should say, 'Who will ascend into heaven for is and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?'Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

vs. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your descendants may live; THAT YOU MAY LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, THAT YOU MAY OBEY HIS VOICE, AND THAT YOU MAY CLING TO HIM, FOR HE IS YOUR LIFE AND THE LENGTH OF YOUR DAYS......

What would that look like if we truly loved the Lord whole-heartedly clung to Him and Him alone- not false comforts- or even just being comfortable where we are at in general......And truly set our sights on HIM ONLY- we would have such fullness in life- when challenges would come our way- we could still say - I count it ALL JOY- even trials and tribulations- because our joy would be in HIM our comfort in HIM our everything in HIM- let us be not only hearers of the would but doers!

5 wonderful years


5 years ago today I married the most incredible man in the whole world
My husband and truly my best friend
I have never had someone I can share absolutely anything with and feel completely safe
and confident that he would never tell anyone
not only does he listen to my thoughts, fears and dreams he shares in them with me
He understands the best he knows how and is so tender kind and loving
he is so giving
He is a lover of God and so desperately want to be closer to Jesus
He is not afraid of what man thinks
and fears God alone
He gives and doesn't expect anything in return
He is my best friend
My husband
My Ryan forever

Snack time & dress up time with mummy :)










Oh that we would Delight ourselves in HIM
that we would be free from all that entangles us in Sin
That would would run into His arms
into His lOVE that exceeds every other love

That we would encounter HIS LOVE in such a real way that we would never be the same
That we would quit running to everything else that so seemingly satisfies
because only HE can truly satisfy
We are either lovers of God
or lovers of man
What are we taking taking delight in
Is it Him
or is it sin?
What have we put as the first commandment
Is it Him or is it the pleasures of this world?

Oh that we BE LOVERS OF HIM!
Because He is literally coming as King!
Do we believe what the Bible says
or do we make up the script that entitles it to please us in our own way
We must choose
We must know this man now in this life
because soon we will meet Him face to face

Oh Jesus let me know you more
free me from entitlements and rights that I think I have, or think I have earned
You are the author and finisher of our faith
You are the one that GAVE US LIFE
May we give you our life in return

Naomi Song.....I LOVE YOU



So proud of my little girl. Naomi Song is true to her name- beautiful pleasant sweet delight
She is such a joy to me. It's hard to believe she is already 15 months!

Some fun things she is saying and doing now....

The other day we were on a walk and I was singing to her "Je-eeee-sus your names my reward"
and then I her this sweet little voice say "Jesus"!
Oh Naomi you bless me

She loves giving her cuddles & kisses to her baby-dolls, trying to put their diapers on:) and 'rocking' them to sleep and giving them a bottle.
She is SO affectionate! She saw her little twin friends last night and immediately walked up to give a cuddle! :)

She now eats with a fork and spoon! you should watch her try and spear her peas! so much thought and effort involved :)

She loves lifting her arms to "Praise the Lord!"

and I could go on I suppose but I won't- just wanted to give my little darling Naomi a shout out :)
