Kelsey, the Model

My lovely cousin/sister Kelsey volunteered to do a photo shoot with me! She has such a great somber look that most people can't pull off! We had fun and she laughed at my photographer suggestions like good cousins do.

And now behold: Kelsey, the Model

Love and miss you Kels!!

Up From The Grave He Arose!

 

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."

-Matthew 28:6

 

Happy Resurrection Day to you all!!

{Snow Day}

 

Woke up to a fresh blanket of snow and a day off school today:)

 

 

Kelsey had to park in the neighbor's driveway because ours isn't plowed. So then I had to shovel a path for her to get down my driveway! The things we do for each other.

One of our outdoor spring decorations. Covered in snow. God bless Ohio!

Snow covered bushes after digging out the porch from under this fluffy white stuff!

Other things accomplished today:
-I made twice baked potatoes for lunch!
-I died miss Kelsey's hair. It's auburn!
-Mom and I worked on origomi flowers for Oasis! {so many more to go!}

Enjoy the snowy wonderland! Peace out. girlscouts!

Sabbath Sunday

Yesterday was the final day of Upward season 2 at our church! It was such an exciting year and I am so glad to have been part of it:)

{this is only half of the kids}

I got the opportunity to cuddle with my little Maleigha again today during service! Sister is so cute I could eat her cheeks!

This was my view on the way to church this morning:

{Sign up here for my Safe Driving 101 class.... if only.}

For supper we went to Grandma and Grandpa Berger's to dicuss what we will be doing during his surgery on Friday. Luckily, most of us will be able to make it down to Cleveland for the day of his surgery!

Prayers for a safe surgery and for guidance of the surgeon's hands are much apprectiated:)!

Lord please put your hands of peace and healing on Grandpa, and give Granny peace through this storm. Please guide the doctor's hands and make for a successful surgery! Amen.


Jeremiah 17:14Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

Psalm 41:3The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.

Music Monday: Grandpa

Starting today I'm introducing Music Monday! This is going to (hopefully) make me blog more frequently!

My new found love for 10th Avenue North's song "Worn" has grown stronger over the past week.  My Grandpa is facing surgery on his heart sometime this week and this song captures all of the weaknesses in our life and how they just wear us out. Obviously, Grandpa is terrified, as are all of us family members.

Prayer is much appreciated for this situation. Despite his physical and mental strength, Grandpa needs the help of the ultamate Healer.

 

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed." 1 Peter 1:13

 

Dear Heavenly Father, I'm placing my hope, trust, fears, and other insecurities in you Lord. Be his healer and be our guide through this process. Put your hand of peace on Grandma as she stands by and watches her husband endure this trial. Be with us as his kids and grandkids, and give us the perserverance and hope to make it through this scary time. Take our hope and place it in you! Amen.

 

 

 

"God did not give you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love and a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
