My Favorite Children's Book

My favorite singer is the beautiful JJ Heller. I first heard of her music when I was a sophomore in High School and I immediately loved her. The summer going into my junior year, I actually had the pleasure of meeting her at YoungLife camp- go figure! 'Boat Song' is such a fun song she wrote about a mother's love for her baby and the heartache a mommy feels as she continues, day after day, to persue her baby.  She wrote this song based off a book she read called 'Runaway Bunny' and after hearing about this, I just had to read the book! Let's just say the book had me in tears! A mama bunny describes how she will never stop persuing her baby bunny no matter how many times he may run away. It's a beautiful picture of a mother's steadfast love for her little bunny. I recommend reading this book to your little one(s) and hopefully someday they will read it back to you!
What's your favorite book?

Finding Shade in the Desert

A few weeks ago we went camping with David's parents. We had a blast, like always!  There was one day specific when I was trying to either change Gracelyn's diaper or put a sweater on her- I can't remember...honestly, knowing me,  I was probably trying to do both at the same time! Anyway, she was fighting me, pulling away and getting cranky with me but it had to be done. I finally got frustrated and said, "Grace, if only you knew that what I was doing was to help you and not hurt you, you wouldn't fight so much."  Immediately, my mother-in-law chimed in, "...You know, Sarah, how many times does God say that to US daily?" I was struck by those words and I laughed because it is so true. All the time.  Right now, we're going through a new series at church called Walking With God in the Desert. You know, in life we go through some stinky stuff- things that make us tired and exhausted, things that we have no desire to do or go through. Ki...

Dear Gracelyn,

Sweet baby, you're two! My, how time has just flown by. Here we are on your second birthday and I am more in love with you now then ever before. You are so independent, so strong willed, brave and energetic. You get all of that from daddy. We are so proud of the little girl you have become and we can't wait to watch you grow up to be so much more. I am so blessed by you, Gracelyn. You have made me a better person all around.  I can't even remember what I used to do for fun. How many hours did I waste watching TV? Everything is much more fun with you around. I am reliving my childhood through your eyes and I have to say- it's one of the greatest experiences ever. One of my absolute favorite things about you is how you try not to smile and your lips press together as you try to hold back. Oh my goodness, EXACTLY like your dad. People say you either look just like him or a mix of both of us. Either way, you are the most beautiful little soul I have ever known. You...
