Happy Birthday, my precious, precious little boy!! Your dad and I love you more than you could possibly know.

Benjamin's Sunday Afternoon Adventure: First Steps!!!

What a BIG BOY!! :)

Old Favorite

In college I was introduced to a few songs from Indelible Grace; a group/ministry that re-did old hymns. I loved their version of the song below, and the lyrics really resonated in my heart. To this day it is one of my absolute favorite hymns (though I am partial to the above mentioned version!), and one that always drives the truth of scripture home. I was just listening to it and thought I'd post the lyrics here; they are always timely.

What'er My God Ordains is Right

Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Holy His will abideth.
I will be still whate’er He does,
And follow where He guideth.
He is my God,
Though dark my road.
He holds me that I shall not fall
Wherefore to Him I leave it all

Whate’er my God ordains is right,
He never will deceive me
He leads me by the proper path,
I know He will not leave me
I take, content,
What He hath sent
His hand can turn my griefs away
And patiently I wait His day

Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Though now this cup in drinking
May bitter seem to my faint heart,
I take it all unshrinking
My God is true,
Each morn anew
Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart
And pain and sorrow shall depart

Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Here shall my stand be taken
Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,
Yet I am not forsaken
My Father’s care
Is round me there
He holds me that I shall not fall
And so to Him I leave it all.

He holds me that I shall not fall
And so to Him I leave it all.

Dear Sarah,

I forgive for you stealing from me, and I appreciate your blog apology. However, I fully expect to take you up on the dinner offer. After all, one must learn one's lesson after such an unfortunate event.

Most Sincerely,
Andrea

All about the Benjamin...

My lone curl; can you see it? :)





It's kind of like the movie Twins with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.





"Snuggling" with Mommy...more like holding on for dear life!





There, much better!





Let's take these new puppies out for a spin!





Huh. Not so sure I like shoes.





What a smile!! Check out the gap between my teeth; sometimes I try to whistle through it! Too cute!!




Poker Face.





After my bath. They don't make 'em much cuter than this!
