Roaring Like a Lion

Today's the perfect day to quote one of my favorite praise/worship songs.

The words are so powerful to me, even without any music.

These lyrics basically speak to any issue you may be facing in life, with your faith, with your church home: God is alive, living in us, and he's not just chillin on the sofa as a passive observer.

His love is LOUD. like a lion.

Let love explode and bring the dead to life
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow

Now I'm lost in your freedom
This world I'll overcome
My God's not dead, He's surely alive
And He's living on the inside, roaring like a lion

Let hope arise and make the darkness hide
My faith is dead, I need a resurrection somehow

Let Heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground with the sound of revival.

 This song has so much strong, vibrant language in it. It should be our prayer to God everyday.

We should beg to see an EXPLOSION of love in our lives, a BOLD love that starts revolutions. 

His love gives us so much freedom, we literally get lost in it...at least I do.

Sometimes I pray for understanding just because I can't even fathom the idea that God loves me for me without any qualifiers, regardless of my failures.

When my faith feels dead, God's love somehow brings back hope and resurrects my faith.

That's what Easter is all about right? God's power to resurrect?

Immortality. That's what makes our God truly holy. Only HE can conquer death.

And when He reveals His power, heaven ROARS. 

That just fills my heart and makes me want to shout His praises.

and also rock out to David Crowder:)

Just What You Wanted

I know y'all only check my blog to see pictures.

That's ok.

It gives me something to do late at night while I can't sleep.

Like play with collage makes online.

Here's beautiful Chunk.

She makes so many adorable faces.

The last week or so she has really started to grow and develop at a rapid pace.

She can pick up a chew toy (no, not a dog toy) and bring it to her mouth.

She can almost sit up without doing a face plant.

She got to take a bath with Maddy (in the Bumbo, which floated, so I had to drain most of the water).

Here's Moo.

In these pictures (starting with top left, across the top row), she's drinking juice, wearing her Hello Kitty backpack and drinking juice, standing 3 inches from the TV with her PJs hiked up, sitting in her pretty halter top dress, standing pigeon-toed in her night gown that was dragging the ground at Christmas(she has grown so much!), pitching a fit because her juice or "joo" is empty, wearing adorable pig tails, and playing in the bath.

Oops, I missed one.

She's playing with the little flippy menu thing at Zaxby's.

Cause you wanted to know all of that, right?

Here are some of what I consider "family" photos.

Basically, that means more than one family member is in the frame.

Even if it's just a hand.

Here are some side by sides of Lillee and Maddy at particular ages.

Lillee's on the left and Maddy's on the right.

Here's Newborn, then 2 months.

Then 3 months and 4 months...

And finally... 5 months.

I can't believe Chunk is already 5 months old! 

 

Then, just for fun, here's me and Scott in Vegas just after we got married (over 3 years ago).

We look so young!
