Dance and Be Glad {Scripture and a Snapshot}

"Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow."

 (Jeremiah 31:13, NIV)

Happy Heart Birthday, Lauren!

"I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High."

 (Psalm 9: 1-2, NIV)

Today we are celebrating Lauren's fourth "new strong heart birthday." 

God is so good, and we are truly blessed!

Back to School {Wordless Wednesday}

Quote from the day: "I can't believe my little brother's going to be a seventh grader."

Seconds later, "Hey Brennan, turn your seven around!"

Pretty Girls in Purple {Think Back Thursday}

It's been a while since I've participated in Think Back Thursday, but I remembered that I have some older pictures that fits this week's purple theme.

The pictures were both taken on World Prematurity Day, November 2011. The top picture is of me, Addison, and Lauren, and the bottom picture is of my sister holding my niece. If you'd like to, you can read more about Why We're Wearing Purple on the post I wrote nearly two years ago.

Mountain Peaks {Scripture and a Snapshot}

"In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care."

 (Psalm 95:4-6, NIV)
