It's been a while...
It's been a while since our last update. Please understand, we were enjoying time away from the computer and the hustle and bustle of the NoVA life and headed up to PA for Easter. We'll be posting all of those pictures and adventures shortly. Thanks for visiting and your patience has been noted.

And she's IN...
She's in with the "innies" - she lost her umbilical cord remains today so we can now for the 1st time see that cute little belly button! :)
Just before her first real bath...waiting as the water warms up
Clean and content :)

All I have is Christ
I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You

What an incredible song! The one line from it, "Oh Father, use my ransomed life, In any way You choose" is a verse that is quite humbling if you think about it. How many times do we sing it or pray it and really don't mean it. But if you do, do you know what you are saying? You are saying that 'I give up my passions, desires, and things for Your will.' Now that's some serious verbiage and commitment. That's what He wants. That's what He desires. That we, His ransomed, recognize His control over our lives and that we should constantly put our selfishness aside for His glory. Something to think about.
