Memories

I just found these old pictures and it made me realize how fast time is flying by. As God's word says, our lives are truly a mist!

Chad and I as newly weds:

At an ROTC ball

At a Berkeley football game where Chad was a student (9 months pregnant with Anna)

In labor with Anna...I love this picture :)

This is when we were a "little" family (I was pregnant with Libby here)

Christmas 2004

Our little family at the Grand Canyon when we lived in Arizona

It's neat looking back and seeing the ways the Lord has worked in our lives, teaching us to depend on Him and not ourselves. He has been so good to us and we long to spend all eternity with Him. Pressing on toward the prize!

1 Oh sing to the Lord, a new song;

sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

tell of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples!

⁴

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵

For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,

but the Lord made the heavens.

⁶

Splendor and majesty are before him;

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!

⁸

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

bring an offering, and come into his courts!

⁹

Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;

tremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!

Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;

he will judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

¹²

let the field exult, and everything in it!

Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy

¹³

before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness,

and the peoples in his faithfulness.

~Psalm 96

About Us

Our family seeks to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in everything. We love Him because He first loved us. We move regularly with Chad's job and this helps us to remember we are pilgrims here on this earth. We are so grateful for our friends and family in the US and around the world and we enjoy staying in touch (being 1500+ miles apart, this blog especially helps grandparents "see" their grandchildren as they grow up).We also like to share what we are learning, whether it's homemaking skills, homeschooling related, DIY projects, tried and true recipes, or what the Lord is teaching us through His Word. It is not our desire to promote ourselves but to show God's work in our lives and the joy that He gives us as we follow Him. We are sinners saved by grace and we hope that this blog would point you to Christ. May our lives (in our weakness) be a living testimony of God's faithfulness.
