M's Haircut

M (finally!) got a hair cut. It took a lot of convincing of her daddy who adores her long hair, but I promised it would just be a trim.

M was super excited!

Candy Scramble

The last night of Awana is marked with a lot of excitement not because the kids are glad it is over (because trust me they are NOT!) but because they are having a candy scramble!

My kids have been counting the weeks, days and now hours till it was time!

If you are not familiar with a candy scramble this is what they do. First, the workers cover the floor of the gym with candy, then the kids fill a brown lunch sack with as much candy as they can in a given number of minutes.

I had hoped to be able to take pictures of this exciting activity, but S got sick and was not able to go to church. She was devastated that she was not able to go because like I said they have been counting the days till the candy scramble.

When the kids came home, E had a bag full of candy for S. She said that her Awana teacher had made a bag just for her before the game began. How sweet is that! Our Awana workers are always thinking of the kids. They are so sweet and thoughtful. We truly are blessed to have a church who cares about our kids and continually show the love of Christ to them! It was such a simple little thing, but one that spoke volumes to S and her mama!

The Oval Mirror

I found this beauty at T*Ma*x for only $15.00!

For now, Scot hung it for me over the mantel in our bedroom. I think I will use it in the foyer at the new house.

Trust His Heart

I was reminded of this song today as I was reading a friends blog. So many times I just don't understand why things happen the way they do. I KNOW I need to just trust God, but my flesh begins to question why?

When this song came to mind, I could only remember parts of the chorus. I pulled up the lyrics and read the rest of the song and my heart was touched!

What a great reminder that God only wants what is BEST for me and HE sees the master plan!!!!

Trust His Heart

All things work for our good

though sometimes we can't see how they could

struggles that break our hearts in two

sometimes blinds us to the truth

Our Father knows what's best for us

His ways are not our own

So when your pathway grows dim, and you just can't see Him

Remember you're never alone

God is too wise to be mistaken

God is too good to be unkind

So when you don't understand

When you don't see His plan

When you can't trace His hand

Trust His heart

He sees the master plan

And He holds our future in His hands

So don't live as those who have no hope

All our hope is found in Him

We see the present clearly

But He sees the first and the last

And like a tapestry He's weaving you and me to someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken

God is too good to be unkind

So when you don't understand

When you don't see His plan

When you can't trace His hand

Trust His heart

He alone is faithful and true

He alone knows what is best for you

So when you don't understand

When you don't see His plan

When you can't trace His hand trust His heart
