Never let down!
Last night I got reminded of a simple truth:
God will never let me down, He never has, He never will!
Sometimes I get so caught up in all the "stuff" around me that I lose focus of what is really important. My prayer tonight is nothing fancy, just that I stay focused on God because HE will never let me down.
Proverbs 3:5-6 says " Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
When things get crazy, I HAVE to remember to trust in the Lord!
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Something good will come out of everything we go through!
Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
No need to stress....just live for Christ today!
I am so thankful for all the reminders that I got yesterday!
God will never let me down, He never has, He never will!

I never leave your hands
I have unanswered prayers.
I have trouble I wish wasn't there.
I have asked a thousand ways,
that you would take my pain away.
That you would take my pain away.
I am trying to understand,
how to walk this weary land.
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie,
Oh Lord before these feet of mine,
Oh Lord before these feet of mine.
When my world is shaking,
Heaven stands.
When my heart is breaking,
I never leave your hands.
When you walked upon the earth,
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt.
I know you hate to see me cry,
One day you will set all things right.
One day you will set all things right.
When my world is shaking,
Heaven stands.
When my heart is breaking,
I never leave your hands, your hands
Your hands that shape the world,
are holding me,
they hold me still.
You hands that shape the world,
are holding me,
they hold me still.
When my world is shaking,
Heaven stands.
When my heart is breaking,
I never leave,
When my world is shaking,
Heaven stands.
When my heart is breaking,
I never leave,
I never leave you hands.

Sorry Lord for forgetting that you always have me in your hands, no matter what!

Thanks Dad!
Nathan got a climber for his birthday from his Gammy and PawPaw. Since we are in the process of moving, we decided to wait until we get into our new house to open it.
We have boxes piled high in our dining room right now, in front of the boxes is the box with his climber in it. It has a picture of the climber on the front. Everyday Nathan crawl over to the box and points to it. I swear he is saying, "please open this for me," but he really just grunts! He even points at it from across the room and grunts. It is so cute. It has taken longer than expected to get into our house, so we gave in tonight. Matthew put the climber together!

Mickey Mouse Pancakes
Although Nathan wakes up earlier than I would like him to on Saturday mornings, I wouldn't trade our weekend time for anything.
Nathan LOVES to eat! He especially loves to eat pancakes. One of my students brought me a mickey mouse mold for pancakes this week, so we thought we would try it out.

It was really easy to use and it is so cute!
Here he goes.....
YUMMY.....
I would say that our first mickey mouse pancakes were a success!

Safe
"To the one who's dreams are falling all apart,
and all you're left with is a tired and broken heart.
I can tell by your eyes that you think you're on you're own,
BUT YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
Have you heard of the one who can calm the raging sea,
give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet.
With a love so strong and will never let you go,
NO, YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
You will be safe in His arms,
You will be safe in His arms,
'Cause the hands that hold the world,
are holding your heart.
This is the promise He made,
He will be with you always.
When everything is falling apart,
You will be safe in His arms.
Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life,
Is the very same voice that calls you now to rise.
So hear Him now,
He's calling you home
YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE!
You will be safe in His arms,
You will be safe in His arms.
'Cause the hands that hold the world,
are holding your heart!
This is the promise He made,
He will be with you always.
When everything is falling apart,
You will be safe in His arms.
These are the hands that built the mountains,
The hands that calm the seas.
These are the arms that hold the heavens,
They are holding you and me!
These are hands that healed the leper,
Pulled the lame up to their feet.
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross,
to break our chains and set us free!
You will be safe in His arms,
You will be safe in His arms,
The hands that hold the world,
are holding your heart.
This is the promise He made,
He will be with you always.
When everything is falling apart,
You will be safe in His arms!
Safe in His arms,
Safe in His arms.
You will be safe in His arms,
You will be safe.
When everything is falling apart,
You will be safe in His arms!"

Nathan's 1st Birthday
Today we celebrated the last "first" of Nathan's first year. He will be 1 year old January 25. Boy how the time flies! We have enjoyed every minute of his life. He is such a blessing and joy to us. We love you more than you will ever know Nathan Lee Skinner!
We celebrated his birthday at our church. There was no way that everyone was going to fit in our house. It was the perfect place to have it. Thanks so much to my mom and sister for coming early and helping me set everything up. I appreciate you two so much! You made Nathan's 1st birthday a success! Also, thanks to Rex and Judy for letting us use your bounce house. The kids (both young and old) had a blast! I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking for me.....
Me and my precious 1 year old!

Thanks for bringing the bounce house!
The "dads" had a turn
Matthew doing some of his tricks!
As you can see....it was a great day!
Its hard to beleive that the first year of his life is already gone, but you know the saying, "time flies when you're having fun!"
We have definitely had fun this past year!
