Raised to New Life.

My kids and I headed to North Georgia to see my family on May 9th, 

when my husband left on a trip to India for two weeks with our college students.

After his trip, he joined us, and we united with family and friends as he baptized both of our boys.

At our home church, all of the baptisms are held in the Chattahoochee River.

The sweetest older couple in the church live on this beautiful river, 

and they graciously let the church have all of their baptisms on the property.

It is always a huge celebration service with all the music, food and fellowship that you can imagine.

 Luke & Seth both accepted Christ several years ago, but they couldn't imagine being baptized 

anywhere else on Earth other than this river in North Georgia!

Because the river stays so cold most of the year, the church is limited to summer baptisms.

We have never been able to be home when they have one of these huge celebration services, 

so we finally decided to just have our very own!

When my husband asked the boys why they loved God, they both replied,
"because he loves us so much."

And, when he asked them why they wanted to be baptized, they both replied,
"because we want the world to know that God loves us and we love him!"

No wonder God wants us to come to him as children..their faith is so simple and concrete.

It really is His kindness and love that lead us to Him,

and baptism is the public profession of our faith in his love for us and his work in our hearts.

Colossians 2:12

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised him from the dead.



Lord, help them to know and understand more fully 
that the same power that raised you from the dead
lives and moves and works in them!!!

Fashion on the Brain

Some brilliant soul put these outfits together and I found them over at Pinterest.

Love that place~

It's all about Perspective

I went to look for shoes today.

I've been on the prowl for the perfect pair of wedges.

I'm looking for some that aren't so high that they are completely impractical for my life.

I stay home with my kiddos most every single day,
so super high wedges and my uniform yoga pants don't go together.

Anyway, I tried on fifteen different varieties and none of them worked.

Apparently, sky high wedges are all the rage.

I came home completely bummed until I came across this picture tonight.

Needless to say, I'm not bummed at all anymore.

I see this picture and it rocks my world.
It reminds me of the countries that I've visited and the children that I've held that lacked so many basic needs.

It jolts me back to the truest reality, which is that most of the world doesn't live at all like we do.
It urges me to continue to do something...anything for those that need.

I never want to become that person who pretends that material things aren't important to me anymore

because I see a picture like this
or because I go to a country where I see these feet up close and personal.

I still want some wedges...I'm not gonna lie.
But, I'm so thankful for some perspective tonight.

Lord, help those that are alone and afraid and cold and hungry.
Be their refuge and their help.
