Our little chicken...

Need I say more?

Gratitude...

I am overwhelmed with this feeling...
inexpressable by words...
flooded with emotion...

He blesses my life, moment by moment.
All I have, is because of Him.

My soul finds rest in God alone
my salvation comes from him.
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62.

Yummy "Ball"...

Ephraim plunged into his first apple ("ball")...





good times...

It's been awhile...

Napping is fabulous. Love the chance to knock out some stuff while the wee one is down. So... here I am!

It's been awhile.

Life has been good.

A challenging year with tornados, a new roof.... flood damage, demo, and learning how to put up new walls, ceiling, etc.

Fun stuff.

Some overwhelming moments - but through it all - God remains.

What more can I say?

A new beginning...

It's been awhile since I've visited here....

much has happened...

much has begun...

A new little person has entered into our family...

I introduce you to Ephraim Michael Ennis.

(Ephraim is Hebrew - with both roots meaning fruitful/blessed,

so Ephraim = doubly blessed/fruitful)

Each day holds fabulous moments I am attempting to soak in...

Life is grand.

Transitions...

Each part of life is filled with glorious transitions... as a chord sequence builds, bridging one song to the next... these in-between moments are pivotal...

I find myself in one such moment.... somehow a tiny person is growing in me... 5 months of a tiny person... and I am in a glorious transition... it is building and bridging one season in my journey to the next.

Sacraments

What an intense opportunity i had last week at a youth camp in Oklahoma. We gathered 150 people together on Tuesday night to go from station to station experiencing random interactions with Christ...communion, writing letters, foot washing, etc. i was asked to lead in the sacrament of communion and was very humbled when thinking of the impact this could have...
As the first of 5 groups gathered, i explained what the symbols represent...when talking about the bread i realized how important the physicallity of Jesus was...and how important our flesh is...an overwhelming thought! It still overwhelms me...life...breath...pain...touch...all things we were created to have and experience...what an amazing thought...
