School Days

First day of school is finally here! Rose has been counting down days for weeks (ok, months) and is so ready for her first day of the last year of middle school - she is in 8th grade now,

Bella is excited to be able to wear her cute new clothes to 5th grade, and is happy to have one year in elementary with her brother,

and the little man is so ready for Kindergarten!

Poor Princess LaLa, one more year....

Oh,  how I love those kids... they are growing way, way, way too fast.  I am so thankful that I get to be their Momma!

Off he goes into the world

Have a great year my QCrew, I love you ~ Dolphins & Kisses!

Bright Future

I love listening to Focus on the Family via podcast when I do chores at home or streaming at work while I push papers. I listened to one last week that is sticking with me. It was just a little comment at the end of the show, but God is continually whispering it in my ear. I hope it lifts you as well:

I have a heritage that I cannot yet see,

but the hands that bled are holding it for me.

My favorite song lately has the same message:

Jeremy Camp Lyrics – There Will Be A Day Song Words
Song Words by Artist / Band : Jeremy Camp

Title : There Will Be A Day

Available on Album : Speaking Louder Than Before

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have

But I feel the weight of what it brings,

and the hurt that tries to grab

The many trials that seem to never end,

His word declares this truth

That we will enter in this rest with wonders a new

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings

That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears

There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,

we’ll see Jesus face to face

But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long

You feel you’re walking on your own

But there has never been a step

Where you’ve walked out all alone

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears

There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,

we’ll see Jesus face to face

But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart

Cause joy and peace he brings

And the beauty that’s in store

Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
I cant wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always

will wipe awaythe sorrow that I’ve faced

To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery

this is why this is why I sing

There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears

There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more,

we'll see Jesus face to face

But until that day, we'll hold on to you always.
