I Am Waiting...

...In A Silent Prayer, I am Frightened By The Load I Bear.

In A World Cold As Stone, Must I Walk This Path Alone, Be With Me...
Breath of Heaven, Hold Me Together, Be Forever Near Me, Breath of Heaven
Lighten My Darkness, Pour Over Me Your Holiness, For You Are Holy
Breath Of Heaven...
Amy Grant sings this song so pure, so full of faith! We must stand together and know Jesus carries our loads... we are not alone!!

Our friends received the news today on Kaci's diagnoses, astrocytoma in stage III which can be terminal.
We continue to fight this with prayer! We know that our God is Mighty, I cannot say this enough!! We know His works will be done and we trust in Him!
Lord Jesus be with the families and doctors as they need clear minds to process all of this information! Lord Jesus we know that your will is the way and we trust in all that you do! Praying for calm minds, peaceful hearts... We cry out to you Oh Father God for you do great things!
We love you Lord Jesus and we thank you for all that you have done and all that you are going to do... It Is In Your Precious, Mighty Hands...
AMEN!!

...Alter Bending Watching Long In Hope and Fear
Suddenly the Lord Descending In His Temple Shall Appear
Come and Worship
by Bebo Norman
amazing amazing song!! i am trying to find it so that you all can listen and hear it!

I took the kiddos to the zoo and we did our normal routine. We came home, I laid everyone down for a nap and checked our friends blogs. I read one that I just cannot get out of my mind... To be a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, and to have the weight of the world on your shoulders and still hold it all together...
Our friends the Ronne's, you can link to their blog from ours, have been in OKC undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. We ask you to join us and them in prayer! We know that our God is Mighty! We trust in Him with everything! We know that His timing is everything... We just pray for comfort, strength, patience, guidance, restful minds, peaceful souls... We pray for the doctors as well. Let them be steadfast in their decisions and treatment options. We pray for calm hearts and for the Mighty Healing Hands of our Father to wrap around them and their families during this time! For we know that You are All Powerful, All Merciful!!
We love your Lord Jesus and we all say,
AMEN!!
Ryan and Kaci, we stand with you in this chapter in your life and we know that great things are to come! We love you all!!

Luke 23:43...

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, TODAY you will be with me in paradise."

What a mighty God we serve! To know that I am not a '100' but with Jesus' love I am! To know that He loved us so much that he let his only son die for us, so that we can be with him in paradise and it will be just that PARADISE! We praise you on this Easter Sunday knowing that you have blessed us far more than any one can! Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do for us Father God!!
He Has Risen!

the Easter Bunny leaves the baskets outside and he hides the eggs to hunt too!

here is one attempt of a group shot...

and another!

he is just getting too big!

my parents always do an Easter Egg Hunt at their house too, but my camera decided not to work so great, but I did manage to get a picture of the cute cake she had made for all the grandbabies... each egg has a name on it for them!! sooo cute, even if there is not pink on it!! my mom gave Tina a list of names and she thought they were all boys... this is why we always go by our first and middle names... Carsen Elise :)

He's Just A Fat...

...He's Just A Fat Little Baby, He Wants his Bottle and He Don't Mean Maybe ... these great words from Amy Grant sing in my head all day long with Walker James... He is our biggest baby yet! He turned one on March 22nd weighing in at around 30lbs!! He is so yummy... This picture was just too sweet not to share with everyone!! Walker James, you have stolen my heart, I love you so very very much my sugar bugar!!

Walker James sure is one happy little baby!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...
