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

Ella Bean- these days!

Sweet little Ella---

I love this girl, she is always making me smile and is just a fun little thing! Here is what she has been up to lately!!!!




- Dress- up --- usually as a princess, but she lets Lilly dress her up however she wants and Lilly has been into designing dresses lately, she made Ella a saree out of Ella's blankie. Ella loved it, and she looked beautiful, put together with bangles, makeup and her hair done!!!





- Reading --- We recently got a shipment of homeschool books and Ella was the most interested, I think she looked at every book twice and found the smallest one there was and claimed it as hers! She was entertained for a couple of hours that day!



- Playing --- This sweet gal doesn't miss a beat and tags right along with everyone else, her most favorite game right now is Candyland and she is so patient waiting her turn, and tries her best to play Twister with Jonny "the PRO." She loves playing babies, playing house, school, barbies and playing salon shop!


-Drawing --- She loves to draw as do all the others, and has really done good at picking up letters, and drawing people, and doodling and always makes it into a present for someone!

-Cooking --- This girl is her momma's sidekick and gets into the kitchen every chance she gets, her best dish is chapatis (indian tortillas)! She runs and gets her stool every time she hears me getting pots and pans out! I love it! And she loves desserts as much as her momma! We usually make something sweetilicious everyday.:)



-Playing OUTSIDE!! -- We usually just play something in our apt courtyard, and she just tags along playing sports, but on those fun days when we venture out, we like to stop by the park and she loves to swing!!!!!!



-Singing -- She sings and sings, she loves music and singing worship songs together with the family, I think her and Brax may start a little band over here in India!





- Being the baby!-- Her brothers and sister have a really sweet spot in their hearts for Ella, they can't seem to get enough sugar from her! Lots of kisses and hugs!







She has mostly cut out her naps, and has for a while, but some times we find her falling asleep leaning over chairs or flat on the cold marble floor. She prefers these places over a nice comfortable bed!




She is a sweetie!
