Lord move us …

Lord teach us …

Lord show us … Your way.

Lord fill us …

Lord spill on us …

Lord move us … we pray.

Show us Your glory God.

Teach us Your mercy Lord.

Give us Your spirit and Your love.

Oh Lord of mercy, Oh God of hosts

Jared and I went for a mid-morning walk on Memorial Day hoping to catch the parade but we had no such luck.

I noticed that the wall at the red light in Mansfield needs some TLC.

Again, thank to all who have served and are serving our country. May God bless you richly.

Freedom isn’t free …

Jared and I are friends with a GREAT couple – who also share the J and D combination. Jared and Dave went to the same high school and have known eachother for a long time. Our friendship began one night in Wal*mart when we ran into Dave and he told us that he was getting married to an amazing girl Jenna. They needed a wedding photographer – what luck. :) . They came over and looked at my portfolio and said – let’s do it. They were married December of 2006 and we quickly became great friends. They had a sweet baby boy in November and shortly after that Dave went to Afghanistan with the Army. Dave and Jenna are quite younger than us – yet I look up to them and admire them quite a bit. Jenna is being a wonderful mommy while Dave is serving our country. They are focused on God and His direction in their lives. Their love for God, eachother, their child, and this country is incredible. Dave is home on leave for 2 weeks and they wanted some family photos.

Here is a photo from their wedding …

Jared got to hold Micah while Jenna & Dave had their pictures taken. He was amazed at how good he was, how cute he is, and especially how heavy he is. He told Jenna she must have arms of steel.

We are blessed with GREAT friends and the reminder of what a MIGHTY God we serve.

Thank you Dave and Jenna.

Nearly four years …

Jared and I will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary at the end of June. I thought I would post some pictures of us throughout our relationship.

This one is a few days after we were officially a couple. We went to Toronto with MU on a bus trip.

And finally, this past Christmas.

I am married to a wonderful, Godly man. He is truly my best friend and I could not ask for anything more in a husband.
