Mother's Day 2011

I have the BEST family! I was reminded of this (again) on this past Mother's Day.

Upon arriving home from church, I was told to go upstairs and get comfy in bed. I was also told to put in ear plugs. That, I must say, was a weird request, but I did what I was told (until I tried watching TV without the ability to hear it, upon which I removed the ear plugs). Just a few minutes later I was joined by my 4 girls and my husband. Apparently they were downstairs letting their creative juices flow. I quickly realized why I needed the ear plugs. It was so I wouldn't hear them practicing :) Check it out.... (First go to the bottom of the page and pause the music player. Then press the play button below, please!)





Is that not the most awesome song ever? You mean you haven't seen that one on iTunes top 20 list? Seriously? 'Cause I think it's amazing!

Despite all of my failures and all of my imperfections, I have 4 beautiful daughters and one incredible husband who all love me. The role I have because of those 5 people is quite great. The only way this role can be played out, with any success at all, is really through Jesus, and what He is doing in me.

Philippians 1:8-11
For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

I've Always Been a Daddy's Girl

This man has forever changed my life. He has taught, guided, encouraged, and loved me so amazingly well. He has always given credit to God for his achievements and successes. He has always sought forgiveness and is one of the most sacrificial men I've ever known. What else can I say? He has had me wrapped around his finger since I was a baby. That hasn't changed. It never will. He is a hero to me. He has run the race well and will soon be wrapped in the arms of our Savior. I am so very proud to be Dave Henry's daughter. I love you, Dad.
