Sing Joyfully

We can always be amazed by the almighty, unchanging love that God continues to give us. I feel like these past few weeks of school ending have just flown by and have been completely packed. There's too much going on. Field trips. Zoo. Kings Dominion. End of the year celebrations. Practice solo. Spring Concerts. Homework. Studying. Final Papers. Tests. Play's. Work. Trainings. Meetings. Home Visits. Documentation. The hospital moving. Volunteer to help. Mother's Day. Graduations and Ceremoney's. Loss, grieving. Travel. Funeral. A little Chuck E Cheese fun. Anniversary. Angel's Birthday. Jarrod's here. Stephanie. Meet Baby Marc! Hold him. Kiss him. Eat him up! No more skyping. Slurpees, cook-outs, sprinklers, water games. Got-it?

Yet through it all, God has remained consistent and steady in showing his obvious love for us. I want to enjoy these moments and not rush through them. I've struggled with not being able to be a part of every moment and every field trip, but I've already learned this lesson last year when I was 8 months pregnant. God loves our children so much more than we do. I'm so thankful for what I have been able to be a part of. I'm so excited because of some changes, I'll be working part-time through out the summer and hope that it slows down a bit.

To hear our children sing these truths as they lift their hands in praise was a beautiful melody to my heart!

"Your love is deeper than the depths of the ocean
broader than the winds of the sea
overflowing love like a moutian
all of creation sings joyfully."

*you can hear Aaron in the background, he liked it too and wanted to sing!
*Caleb's solo (2nd video) was a bit longer than this video. I cut it off thinking that was the end. Regardless, he did so good!
