Everlasting Arms



Deuteronomy 33:26-27, 29


There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in His majesty.


The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.


Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword...


I think that is enough said. Thank you dear Lord. You are my refuge and my helper!

Christmas in KC

I know it is past Christmas and New Years, but I wanted to post pictures of our little home all decorated. I had SO much fun decorating! It also gives me an excuse to do some furniture rearranging, which I love to do!




:)

I love how the Christmas tree looks at night! So cozy.
It makes it feel not quite so cold outside.



These were already up, but I added some snowflake ornaments to make them a little more fun.


I think stockings are my favorite part of opening gifts!

Our living room


The bookshelf- had fun with it this Christmas!


Welcome!


Love my nativity scene. My Aunt Karen got it for me for Christmas last year.
I am going to add to it every Christmas.


One of my favorite Christmas decorations! It says, "If a kiss were a snowflake I'd send you a blizzard."
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was amazing! We got to spend some good time with friends and family, but there were still people I love who I didn't get to see. It is amazing how time just flies. We left Kansas City for Little Rock on Wednesday the 23- just in time to miss the big snow storm that came through! Tim was kind of bummed about missing the white Christmas, but I did not mind a bit!
We spent Christmas Eve with my family. SO fun! I have so much fun with my siblings. We took Kada over there too. Jake (the Grissom chocolate lab) was not quite sure about her being in his house, but they did pretty well!
Christmas day was at the Dietrichs. That was a fun day too! Andrew was able to fly in from Salt Lake which was so fun! Kada and Kobi had a blast playing outside all day. They would just be exhausted at the end of the day.
We came back to Kansas City on the 2nd. There was snow everywhere. And It has not left since. I have been trying to have a better attitude about the weather. I've been praying that God would help me see the beauty in winter and snow....I'll keep praying....I feel like my love for spring and summer is being reinforced. There is a season for everything.
Well, I guess I should wrap this up. I love you all, and hope you are having a wonderful beginning to the new year. I am excited to see what God does this year. He sure is good!
