one by one..

Oh I love this....

Isabel and Luke lay in their cribs and drift off to sleep pretty quickly most days....but occasionally I will hear them talking or jumping, or kicking mostly happily as they go to sleep. TOday, I just heard the sweetest thing. I kept hearing the quiet whisper of several names.........Nina....Shay-Shay, Cay(Clay),Pops, Hadee(Hadley)......Pops.........Hadeee....Pops.....They just kept going. They were listing one by one all the people they love and who love them. I love that they know them all by name, and love them because they are in their life. And I thank God for having the real presence of our dear dear families in our lives. Luke had done this in the car one day as we were riding along, and I just thought it was the sweetest thing. But I had never heard them both doing it together.

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
