Can't believe how beautiful and grown up our girl is! She's so special and talented...thoughtful and sweet. Love you J.

Thank you Lindsay for taking these shots for us. She felt so special and you did a wonderful job!

Help Me Be New

God is doing a work in me
He's walking through my rooms and hails
Checking every corner
Tearing down the unsafe walls
And letting in the light

I am working hard
To clean my house and set it straight
To not let pride get in the way
To catch an eternal vision of
What I am to become

Will you help me be new
Will you hold me to the promises
That I have made
Will you let me be new
Forgive my old self and my old mistakes

It seems easier
Living out my life in Christ
For those who do not know me
To hide the thorns stuck in my side
And all my secret faults

But you know me well
And it's you I want the most to see
And recognize the changes
A word from you empowers me
To press on for my goal

When I feel condemned to live my old life
Remind me I've been given a new life in Christ

Will you help me be new
Will you hold me to the promises
That I have made
Will you let me be new
Forgive my old self, and my old mistakes

Will you?
You know me well

Snow????? ...SNOW!!

Yay! I cannot believe we have snow! The weather has been so hot and cold here, and it just amazes me! It is so beautiful to see, especially as Christmas is drawing nearer...love it!

Here are a few images from this evening. It was wayyyyy dark, but they wanted to play, and I really had to bump that ISO up on my camera...didn't want to use flash. Plus, it was snowing on me like crazy! I was a little concerned about having my camera out in it.

Here are a few snaps I took...beginning with the Beautiful Miss J.
