At this point, she was so over my taking her picture. LOL! Sun was in her eyes, she was hot and sweaty and she was helping Daddy, dadgumit!

So excited!

She did it! She figured out how to ride her bike without the training wheels. The trainers have been off for over a year. She was just too scared to ride it that way. After just two trips with Daddy she was doing it!

Did ya hear that?

That, my friends, was the sound of the hallelujah chorus!

We've got orders.

We've got a move date.

We've got a pack out date.

YAHHOOOO!!

My New "Theme" Songs for this time in my life

I tend to hear a song that represents where I am in life, in my walk with God and it becomes my anthem, my theme.

For now these are the songs that represent my life.

Artist: Barlow girl
Song: I Need You To Love Me
Album: Another Journal Entry

why, why are you still here with me
didn't you see what i've done?
in my shame i want to run and hide myself
but it's here i see the truth
i don't deserve you

(chorus:)
but i need you to love me, and i
i won't keep my heart from you this time
and i'll stop this pretending that i can
somehow deserve what i already have
i need you to love me

i, i have wasted so much time
pushing you away from me
i just never saw how you could cherish me
'cause you're a god who has all things
and still you want me

your love makes me forget what i have been
your love makes me see who i really am
your love makes me forget what i have been

You Make Everything Glorious - David Crowder
I can't find the lyrics online for this right now. But it's a powerful song for me about how God doesn't make junk! :)
