Dive
Dive
Here are some funny clips of Maggie and her cousins learning to dive a couple of weeks ago. Ray is making fun of me and my "old school Steven Curtis," but who can resist a song called "Dive" for footage like this?? :)

Glow in the Dark Christians
Glow in the Dark Christians
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:15-16
My Girls have a glow in the dark soccer ball. They love to take it into our pantry, shut the door, turn out the light, and stare at its yellow glow.
One day the soccer ball was left in the dark pantry over night. The next morning, Ella summoned me to the pantry to once again stare at the glow. We went in, shut the door.... but no glow. The ball didn't glow because it had been left in the dark too long.
Standing in the dark pantry, God flooded my heart with this truth. We are the same way, we stop shining when we are not exposed to the Light. There's nothing about the natural me that shines. But there's a supernatural glow that comes from Him as I walk in Him.
In order to shine His light to my family, friends, and other people I encounter throughout my day, I must walk with Him in His light and His truth. I must spend regular time talking with Him and listening to Him so He is reflected in me and purifying me.
...so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life. Philippians 2:15

I haven't found the time to post pictures yet, but here's a little preview of our weekend. This is my daughter Ella and nephew Justin doing a little spontaneous Hoedown at the Freedom Celebration we attended at Northland Bible College in WI.... :)

Stay at Home Tuesday
Stay at Home Tuesday
After enjoying a busy and full weekend and Monday, I decided we needed to STAY HOME all day yesterday. Sometimes we just need to relax in the backyard (and catch up on laundry).
Ella trying out the new Sidewalk Paint that Maggie got for her birthday.
Maggie picking wildflowers to give me.
Don't you love the way so many of the flowers in this bouquet still have the roots?
A tiny frog Ella found on our patio. She is one to chase after bugs, worms, and other little creatures. Maggie girly-screams at them.... They are so different.
Just in case you were starting to think our lives are all about cute little frogs and beautiful wildflowers. Here's a behind the scenes reality check. :)
What happens IN the house, when we spend so much time playing outside.
And... a shot of the clean up from the sand, dirt, frog pee, and sidewalk paint...
And finally, how normal would any day be without somebody spilling something?.... :)
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! We are heading off to celebrate the 4th with my brother and family in northern WI!
