new babies in the family... and God IS faithful

Today I am overwhelmed by God's faithfulness. Often I doubt Him and He reminded me in a vivid way this weekend that He DOES listen, He DOES work even when I don't see Him, and He IS faithful. So I'm trying to trust in Him and live in that trust rather than the doubt.

The past two weekends I had the opportunity to hold some of my cousins beautiful babies and kiss and love on them for just a few minutes each... but it was such precious time. :) These are some pictures for you. Aren't they beautiful!?! I want babies!! :)

Meet little Ella Love...

I got to help give her a bath. She loves baths. And going to bed... crazy child!

And this... This is the newest member of the Nelson clan... little Braden Emry. How precious!!



Oh how I love my cousins. I can't WAIT to meet new little baby Michal. :) I'm sure she's precious as well!! I love you family. And I miss you so much!! Keep loving our Jesus!! He is so good and God is SO faithful!! May He be praised!!


Clinging to the Cross... Tim Hughes
My soul is weak my heart is numb
I cannot see
But still my hope is found in You
I hold on tightly
You will never let me go
Jesus You will never fail
Jesus, You will never fail!

Simply to the cross I cling
Letting go of all earthly things
I'm clinging to the cross
Mercy's found a way for me
Hope is here as I am free
Jesus You are all I need
I'm clinging to the cross

Even darkness is as light
to You my Lord
So light the way
and lead me home
To that place where
every tear is wiped away
For Jesus, You will never fail
Jesus, You will never fail!

Simply to the cross I cling
Letting go of all earthly things
I'm clinging to the cross
Mercy's found a way for me
Hope is here as I am free
Jesus You are all I need
I'm clinging to the cross

What a Savior!
What a story!
You were crucified
Now You are alive!
So amazing, such a mystery
You were crucified
Now You are alive!

Simply to the cross I cling
Letting go of all earthly things
I'm clinging to the cross
Mercy's found a way for me
Hope is here as I am free
Jesus You are all I need
I'm clinging to the cross
