May you have a blessed New Year!

"Hi, Elmo! This is Selah!"

Thank You Mom for making Selah's Christmas stocking!
You did an amazing job!

Selah is coloring her first picture. Normally she
rips the paper or eats the crayon. We've graduated
to actually using the crayons and paper for their
intended purpose.

Selah loves it when her daddy plays guitar. And from
the looks of it she is a budding guitarist herself.
Rock out sweet girl!

Fun in the dirt! Thanks Aunt Jenny and
Uncle Dustin for the cute sweater!

I realized that I have not blogged since Christmas. I doubt anyone actually reads this, but just in case I'll give you an update. We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. Enjoyed good food, fun games, and great company! Now we have entered into a brand new year, and I look forward to what the Lord will bring us this year. I have had a couple people ask me if I had any new year's resolutions. Although the idea of setting goals sounds great I do not like the idea of marking a point each year to form a list of bad habits that we need to change. I believe that every day we should be disciplined, and ready and willing to change ourselves and be changed.

"Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected." Luke 12:39-40

We do not know when Jesus will return and take the faithful home. Until then, we must keep our eyes on God, and on a daily basis rid ourselves of bad habits. Eventually these things will be a memory, a time when we struggled but in the end were a better person for that struggle.
