The Battle Belongs To The Lord

In heavenly armour we'll enter the land, The battle belongs to the Lord.
No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand, The battle belongs to the Lord.

Chorus:
And we sing glory, honour, power and strength to the lor. We sing glory, honour, power and strength to the Lord.

When the power of darkness comes in like a flood. The battle belongs to the Lord.
He'll raise up a standard, the power of His blood, The battle belongs to the Lord.

Chorus

When Your enemy presses in hard, do not fear, The battle belongs to the Lord.
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near, The battle belongs to the Lord.

Chorus

In times such as these, it is easy to become uncertain and afraid of the future. I know that I have become this way. What a promise God has given us. I am so glad that God does not leave us in the dark about what the future hold. I love this song and often cling to the promise. It has certainly helped me hold fast to all God's promises. I hope that this encourages you.

Is It Spring Yet?

The weather has been very nice here. The other day I wore a short sleeve shirt!!!! I, like every one else, had the itch to start planning and getting ready for Spring. Unfortunately we have one more month or so to go through before we can actually think about Spring. And during those months it will be cold and snow. I do miss the coming of Spring and being able to plan ahead for it. At the Dollar Tree, I had fun looking at all the garden stuff. I even bought some cute pots and fake flowers. It made me feel better.

Our Family Day

Joshua gets half of Wednesday off to spend with me and the boys. The day was wind and when Joshua got home, he said that he wanted to take the boys out and try to fly some kites. We also did bubbles and played with a ball. This was Paul's first time with kites and bubbles. He loved it!!!! I love his age because everything is new and exciting. Plus he is starting to talk and he says,"wow." We had alot of fun outside today.

Birds In Our Backyard

Paul has been enjoying taking care of the birds and squirrels with grandpa. He loves to go out there and help grandpa feed them and give them water. Paul then comes inside and he and grandpa watch the birds from outside the dinning room window. Here are some pictures of the birds.

Riding In The Car

Paul and Peter really enjoy doing things with Joshua. Joshua is such a good sport when it comes to doing things with the boys. Today Joshua took Paul with him while he backed out the car from the garage. Then my mom put Peter in the car with them. It was so cute that I took their picture.



Grandma and Peter

Here are some pictures of my Grandma and Peter. They are playing with the balloons that we gave Paul for his birthday. Enjoy :).

Update On Us

I have very good news. The Lord has been so faithful to us concerning the cell phone shop. The business has picked up so much!!!! It is harder to talk to my mom during the day. Jeff and Jeff have been a tremendous help to us, we don't know what we would do without them. We are hoping and praying that business will stay this way. Please also pray for strength for my mom. She is having a hard time with working outside of the home and often comes home tired. Thank you Lord for always being faithful to those you love!!! And thank you for all your prayers. Please pray for us that we would not get sick, or if we do that we won't get it that bad. It is very hard to work when you don't feel good. The boys have not been feeling good, making it hard on mommy. Otherwise we are all doing fine and keeping busy and out of trouble.

Paul's Playgroup

Paul loves his playgroup, and I love being able to say that. Paul usually does not warm up quickly to other kids and we have only seen this group twice. When we got there, he stayed close to me for awhile, then without prompting he went and played with all the other kids. They were going to have the kids pass out Valentines that day, being so close to the event. I had decided to make cupcakes and had to hurry to find something for Valentines (I was told at 7:00 pm the night before and we were meeting at 9:30 am the next morning). My mom and dad came to the resuce as they bought some Valentines for Paul. We had such a great time. This was the boys first Valentine's Day party.

It Was My Mom's Idea

This was my mom's idea.






Paul had a wonderful time playing. By the time it was to clean up, my mom had left for work! I did not mind cleaning up after Paul.

A Beautiful Winter Morning

When we woke up on Valentine's Day, outside was so foggy. It was beautiful because it had snow that night.
