Here Am I .. All of me... Take my Life ... It's all for thee




if you know me, you know im a little in love with Chris Tomlin ( i have his guitar pick!!) and as i'm laying here, wide awake at one in the morning i search youtube for music, and i came across this one from Tomlin, i have heard it live with him one time and it is such an amazingly powerful song, one of those that really brings you to your knees. the last minute and a half of the song is just the crowd and i close my eyes and listen with my headset as loud as it will go and all of the sudden you are there, in the middle of that crowd, praising Jesus. This song makes my heart beat fast, shed a few tears and really feel God's presence with me.
 I Listen to it over and over and have the same feeling every time. there is no other greater love, than the love of Christ Jesus. The routine of life often gets in the way and distracts you from Him,
 this song brings me to where i need to be, 
and releases the pressure thats been weighing heavily on my heart. 



this second song Pastor Mark used to do with us on Wednesday night church ( hello, also Tomlin) it's also one of my most favorite songs! and once again i just love the live versions, I actually know how to sing this song in the African Language of Setswana. seriously :) its on this version too so you can sing in Setswana too! this brings me back to being 14-16 and all the great times in the youth! Pastor Mark really helped to molded me into the person i am today. I miss their family like crazy! cant believe they have been gone for 2 years now. still makes me sad! 
so give each song a listen, close your eyes and get into this worship time.
He's waiting .....


O boitshepo, boitshepo
O boitshepo, boitshepo
O boitshepo, boitshepo
O kwana

Summer time has come!


Summer time has come and i love it! today i finally got my nephews and my sister emily and i took them to the zoo. i haven't been to the zoo in ...... well lets just say a long time, like before you had to pay to get in lol. it was a lot of fun but man i dont remember so many hills that you had to walk up! im definitely worn out! i think the boys had fun too :) 

yummy snowcones!

poor emily got to share a slobbery banana one with braylan

he LOVED the Giraffe's wouldn't take his eyes off of them

goofy boy

I'm so taking a nap this afternoon. it was so nice to do something outside today and 
not waste the day being in side.

In other news .... Preston put in his two weeks notice at the first of the week and I'm a little nervous about it but its the right thing for us. He has 2-3 jobs lined up ( around the Longview area) for when he comes home in a few weeks to choose from and get off the road all the time. He has been doing this over the road thing for about 4 months now almost so that's roughly 116 days and out of those 116 days we have been APART for 99 of them. that's not ok. the time he is gone is definitely not worth the money that's brought home so he has been looking for a little while for something more local that would keep him home most every night which will be great. We are not made for being apart all the time, guess that's why a lot of the truckers are single! So in mid April we will be starting a new chapter and i pray this one works out a lot better than the last. so maybe if you think about it you could put in a good word with the Man also :)
