Stronger

A little while back Meliss gave me a CD with some of the more current worship songs so that I could play it in my car. (I'm terrible at music stuff and all my CDs in there were at least 8+ years old). So for the past couple weeks I've been listening to it on repeat, singing along with it at the top of my lungs when I'm by myself in the car. Haha

One of the songs is called "Stronger" (I think, haha. I'm also terrible at knowing song titles so bear with me here) and the chorus goes like this:

"You are stronger, You are stronger

Sin is broken, You have saved me.

It is written, Christ is risen

Jesus, You, are Lord of all."

Every time I sing these stanzas I'm hit with the truth that God has given me new life, that He has broken me free from the chains of sin and that He defeated death and sits at the right hand of God in heaven where I will join Him one day. Sometimes, in this crazy world and amidst all the busyness of life, I need to be reminded of this simple truth: Yes, I am worth it. And yes, this is what I am living for!

Thank you Jesus. Help me to live in your simple truth each day!

Hosana,

Aim

P.S. Thanks Meliss for the CD. It really has been a source of encouragement and worship for me this month. I needed that <3

Stripey Stripes

I'm obsessed with stripes. 

I've enlisted Quiddie to go on my current stripe mission with me tomorrow and I'm uber excited about it! We are going to pick up this:

Meet the Eikor throw from Ikea. It's lightweight, gorgeous and the best part? It's $19.99 people!!!

Holla!

Ring On

This was the state of affairs in our house last night...

My dear husband's favorite NBA player of all time finally won his first Championship ring. He was SO thrilled that he couldn't contain himself :). He stayed glued to the t.v. until way past our normal bedtime and I fell asleep to him watching commentary and game clips on his laptop. Makes me happy to see him so happy!

Blane's quote of the night, "This is the BEST year EVER! We got married, got to go to New Zealand, Lebron won his first ring AND we're having a kid!" :D

Maybe I need to find him some Miami Heat branded socks no? ;)

Big Night

We interrupt our regular scheduled blogging tonight for something major...

It's a big night in our household. 

Hoping for a "husband-happy" kind of result!

Tuning In

I told Blane the other week that the baby could hear us now and that night before we went to bed, he put his iPhone close to my stomach and it was playing something...

...Mozart! He mumbled something about not really believing that this stuff works but that we might as well give it a try since you never know. :D We've been told that listening to classical music increases your baby's brain function. This coming from my husband is an even greater feat if you know him and his normal musical selections (far, far from Mozart ;). I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the seriousness/randomness/semi-believer in him at that moment. You gotta give the guy an A for effort!

He is going to be a great dad <3
