Just got a book from Booksneeze. Its a children's book called "The flowering Cross" by Beth Ryan. Its a beautiful illustration of how God uses the weak to lead the strong. I was in tears by the end of the book. I will use it in my preschool class to illustrate Easter in a language that they'll understand. Its a story about a little girl that leads a grumpy old man to the lord. It will touch your heart. At the end of the book it even shows you how to build your own flowering cross. I want two of those. All in all, I love, love, love it!

66 Love Letters from God by Dr. Larry Crab

I just finished the book 66 Love Letters by Dr. Larry Crab. I really enjoyed it. I have always read my bible but I have to admit sometimes I could fall short of getting the meaning out of it. This is a really easy to follow guide. I needed God these last couple of weeks more than ever after losing my mother unexpectedly. To hear his words put into a letter just for me helped me to feel closer to him and that is what I am always searching for, a way to be closer to our heavenly father. This is one that I will reread a hundred times. That I can derive from what I was missing before.

Dear Momma,

I miss you more than I could ever say. I just want to have you hold me and tell its gonna be okay. You were my best friend and there is nothing that could ever fill this hole in my heart. I needed more time with you. To tell you how MUCH I love you. I can't eat. I can't sleep. Sometimes I can barely breath. I just want one more day with you. I know your in heaven and at rest but I want you here with me. You were everything to me and I don't know how to go on without you. I just don't know. Please just one more day. I could lay my head on your shoulder and you could pat my back. I just want to be with you. I'm sorry that I didn't see that something was wrong. I'm so sorry. I love you with all my heart. I can't stand this pain and emptiness I feel right now. Save a place for me in heaven and when its my time please meet me when I walk through that gate with Jesus. Your the first face I want to see. I will always love you and I will NEVER let my boys forget how much you loved them.

Love Always,

your baby

So I have been reading this new Bible called "Mom's Bible God's Wisdom for mothers" Notes by Bobby Woglemuth. This bible shows everyday examples of how to keep God in your parenting. Its a wonderful shower present and something every mother should have for every area of parenting, to be able to parent as the ultimate parent, our father God!

These are our vaction pictures from Myrtle Beach! We were there from June 1st - 4th! This is Connor trying to find one of the many hermit crabs, and Jordan is trying to punch the waves! Boys!

LOL!

I know its been a while since I've written but with Easter and Jordan's 7th birthday, it has been crazy around here. I am changing the pictures out with some new ones. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do! I promise to write again soon!
Love,
Jessica

So here is today's bunny picture! Connor was okay sitting by Jordan but not the bunny and Jordan wanted to know why the bunny had changed colors since last year so I explained to him that this is the Easter bunny's brother. The Easter bunny needed help this year so his brother is helping him out! Hope we can have many more years of this! It was a big day and now I need to sleep so I will write some more tomorrow!

Love ya,

Jessica
