picture time.

Last weekend, my dear friend Elizabeth took pictures for us...

Isn't she talented?!

be willing.

earlier this week,

my mentor sent me the paragraph below from a devotional.

may it be an encouragement to you as it was to me.

Be willing to go out on a limb with Me.

If that is where I am leading you,

it is the safest place to be.

Your desire to live a risk free life is a form of unbelief.

Your longing to live close to Me is at odds with your attempts to minimize risk.

You are approaching a crossroads in your journey.

In order to follow Me wholeheartedly, you must relinquish your tendency to play it safe.

Let Me lead you step by step through this day.

If your primary focus is on Me, you can walk along perilous paths without being afraid.

Eventually, you will learn to relax and enjoy the adventure of our journey together.

As long as you stay close to Me, My sovereign Presence protects you wherever you go.

Psalm 23:4, Psalm 9:10, John 12:26

catch up.

Since we haven't posted in a while, let's catch up a bit through pictures...

Although Elijah's being bashful and hiding his face in the picture, he was a gem all evening at daddy's Christmas party.

This also marked his first restaurant outing.

Elijah's first time to Indiana!

He seemed to enjoy the Hoosier state just like his mommy and daddy.

Evening playtime with daddy.

It warms my heart to watch them together!

Our little ducky just chillin' after bathtime.

Literally, chilling...he looks scared but is really just cold after getting out of the warm water.

Elijah striking a pose.

He stayed frozen in this position after falling asleep in my arms. Such a funny little guy.

We'll try not to let so much time pass before posting again. Enjoy the next few weeks of preparing to celebrate our Lord's birth. We pray you are growing to know Him more.
