A Desert Song
(by Hillsong)

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

The Boys' Birthdays!!!!!!

Happy 7th Birthday to Jonny!!!!! "J-Dawg" was born on June 5th, 2004, 2 days early!!!He was a bright-eyed 8 pd 2 1/2 oz cute little boy who has grown into one of the most adventurous smart, kind, handsome little guys I know!





He celebrated his birthday with a pizza party,

cake and cookies,

his friends,

playing nerf guns,

Mcdonald's,
and games!

On his actual birthday, he went to a week long camp in the mountains! He came back with a skateboard and lots of cool stories!


It has been a complete blessing to watch this boy grow in his love for Jesus, his obedience to the Word and his compassion for others. We pray that God would continue to draw Jonny daily to Himself, overwhelming him with grace to love his family, friends and that the Father would grow a love in him for the nations. We praise God for Jonny's life and pray that his life would be used to glorify God! We are thankful for how God made him and uses him in our lives everyday!!!!


Happy 5th Birthday to Braxton!!! Braxton was born on July 7th, 2006, 2 weeks early, weighing in at 8 pds 8 oz!!! He came into this world with the same cute chubby cheeks he has today!



It has been a wonderful 5 years of laughing( he is hilarious!!), singing (he is the musician of the family), dancing (he has rhythym!) and playing imaginary superheroes (he totally could be a character from Star Wars under all that skin!) I am convinced he will be a musician or filmmaker when he grows up!



More than anything, we pray that God would use his life for HIS glory and Braxton would love the Lord with all of His heart, soul, mind and strength and he would hunger and thirst for righteousness and be filled overflowing!!! We pray that Brax's strong willed personality and amazing imagination would be used to influence others towards Christ and one day disciple others to follow God. We praise God that "B-ROCK" loves Jesus and has a desire to tell others about Him!

We celebrated with pancakes for breakfast,

Mcdonald's for lunch,

homemade pizza for dinner

and special starwars cookies/cake per his request!





We played games with his new nerf gun and bay blades!



We had to postpone his little party until he felt better cause he was sick.
So, a few days later, we celebrated with his very best friends, Micah and Levi, and went to Mcdonald's and then to an arcade and bowling! It was a hoot, there are 2 bowling lanes on a third floor of a building in our city, it was a first for all of us!!! :) They had so much fun and he felt completely special!
