At The Cross by Hillsong

Oh Lord You’ve searched me 
You know my way 
Even when I fail You 
I know You love me 


Your holy presence 
Surrounding me 
In every season 
I know You love me 
I know You love me 


At the cross I bow my knee 
Where Your blood was shed for me 
There’s no greater love than this 
You have overcome the grave 
Your glory fills the highest place 
What can separate me now 


You go before me 
You shield my way 
Your hand upholds me 
I know You love me 


You tore the veil 
You made a way 
When You said that it is done 


And when the earth fades 
Falls from my eyes 
And You stand before me 
I know You love me 
I know You love me

Our Newest Family Member

A week ago we added a new member to our family. Two Christmas ago the pet store had some cocker spaniels in however we were not at the point when we were quit ready as we were heading out on vacation and it just wasn't going to work. However they got some more in two weeks ago. He was the only boy left. I really wanted a girl but when I first went to go and look my husband was at work and he said no to another dog. However the rest of the day our dog Louie sat by the door whining. He usually doesn't like other dogs for long. So I took him on a couple of walks but he wont stop whining so when my husband got off work we went back over to look and see if he was still there. Louie was all over Rennie and every time he would whine Louie was making sure he was ok just like he does when there are babies in our home. Jacob couldn't say no any more.....so here is our new member....
Just a week later....and already potty trained.

Renegade "Rennie"
Born Feb 7th, 2012

His favorite thing to play with is the cat toys.

The story behind the song
Jason started writing the song after watching a TV show about divorces one day. But he couldn't figure out the second verse so he put it away for awhile. Then one day he was watching the Arizona shooting tragedy when he heard the story of the nine year old girl. The second part of the song came from inspiration for the girl and her family.

The Orphans Easter Prayer

“I will not leave you as orphans… I will come to you.” John 14:18 Dear Lord, Thank You, our Father on this Easter Day For the love that you shared, the gift that you gave. We really don’t know what we would have done, If you hadn’t planned Easter and sent us “Your Son.” In the fields of despair we all would have stayed, Lost and alone…and, oh so afraid. Helpless and hungry, begging for bread, Longing for love, so weak and distressed. Thank you for hearing each “orphan prayer” said, For the promises you whispered, the hope that you sent. On this Easter morning we rejoice and we pray, For the families you sent us, and the ones on their way. For those who give care and bestow gifts of love, For others who come to help and share hugs! Our Father in Heaven we ask in your name, Please watch over the orphans needing help and who wait. Please fill up their hearts with Your Hope and Your Strength, Bless all your orphaned children on This Holy Easter Day. Rejoicing Together This Day! With Love, Your Children...  ...who are orphan’s no more! -J Beazely I have come so they can have Life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. John 10:10 (NIRV)

Happy Easter Weekend

I hope everyone has a Happy Easter Weekend and remember the true meaning of Easter.
