How easily a little bit of anxiety slips in...
It's so easy to forget how completely God loves us. He loves us so completely that there is no need for fear of anything.
1 John 4:18
Perfect love casts out fear.
I was anxiously thinking and praying this morning about how to handle something that is on my heart for my children. I so easily slip into that sort of nervous thought. Forgetting My Lord. I didn't really even notice that I was anxious. Then I found peace. And I realized I had been anxious.
Thank you, Father, that I can cry out to you.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Philippians 4: 6,7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Oh Lord, I seek to be yours wholly and completely. I ask that I be a vessel for your use. Your are worthy. Thank you for loving me. I see how completely I fall short of the mark. It hurts my heart. Help me to put aside the sins that so easily entagle me that You may use me and fill me completely.

When You Fall
When you fall, get up!
When you fall, get up!
The enemy will tell you that you will never succeed! He will tell you that you are a failure and that is all you will ever be. That is not what God has to say about His child...
You are a vessel for the Lord Jesus Christ!
2 Chorinthians 4:7
Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a man are established by the Lord, and He delights in his way. when he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord if the One who holds his hand.
Listen to His promise in Psalm 37:23-24 and as you read it insert your name in the blanks: “The steps of ____________ are established by the Lord, and He delights in ____________ way. When ____________ falls, __________ will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds ________ hand.” (NASB)
Philippians 1:6 He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus!
Philippians 3:12-14
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that ]for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philppians 4:13
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Luke 1:37
For nothing is impossible with God.

Verses for fear
Just a note! Fear is from the enemy and is the antithesis of faith. If you are afraid, refuse consent to fear and remember who God is. He spoke and the universe came into being. And He loves us.
How amazing is that!
Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, discipline and a sound mind.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God ;which surpsses all comprehension shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
If we lived our lives remembering who God really is every moment of every day, our lives would be radically changed.
I remember sometimes, but not all day long every day. That's what I want, to remember all day long, every day, who God is and live each moment in light of that.

Verses Every Girl Should Know!
Jesus is wild about us; we just need to KNOW that!

"You are altogether beautiful, my darling, and there is no blemish in you." Song of Solomon 4:7 (NASB)
"The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord." Psalm 45:11 (NIV)
"God decided in advance to adopt us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great pleasure!" Ephesians 1:5 (NLT)

11 months!
I can't believe ithas been almost a year!
Isabella's favorite things!
Her people:
Rachel
William
Dad
Mom
Loves the swing and Blaze and Precious and Faramir-!
Today I took her up to see Faramir. He rubbed all around her, circling her little body and rubbing against it over and over! She loved it! She loves for Precious to come in and "pet" her. It's nice to have a cat that pets herself on you.
Singing: She loves to be sung to. If she is crying in the car, Old McDonald, Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children, Silent Night(duo by William and Rachel),Amazing Grace, and others will usually do the trick. She likes to be sung to sleep, also.
Also, if I am holding her and want someone to take her and she doesn't want to transfer, if they start singing and hold out their hands, she will reach for them. Sometimes they have to sing the right song, often, Old McDonald.
She wakes up every morning, smiles, and says, "Mow" Sometimes she says,"e-mow" for the cat.
She's gotten really fast with her scoot, crawl. I need to get a video of it today.
Her favorite words are meow and ah-um. She meows all day long and looks for her red book with the picture of the baby lion on the front. She will crow like the rooster, eh-eh-eh, and bark like the dog, arf, arf if you do it first.
She loves food and will eat almost anything! She eats a whole slice of pizza, loves watermelon, ice cream, squash, sweet potatoes, green peas, green beans, spinach, applesauce, etc!
She babbles all the time!
Plays peek a boo, eskimo kisses and loves to head butt!
Likes to touch my face when she nurses and play with my mouth and nose.
Really only likes the right side.
Still a port a baby.
She weighs approximately 17 pounds and is approximately 26 inches long as of a couple of weeks ago.
She is the light of our lives!

first words
5/31/11 Tuesday, Isabella started making the animal sounds that we make when reading her little books. And yesterday, she asked for ice cream, ah-um, her favorite food for the first time! She said "ta ta" yesterday, also.
We are so proud of her and she looks amazed when we cheer her on. She gets a little grin and a little look of wonder.
meow
oink
ah-um
