Your love is deep, high, long, wide!

God has Never let me down. He is faithful to the end. I look back over my life and see all the unfortunate trauma's I endured as a child and growing into a young lady...trauma's no child should ever have to endure, but God used all of those circumstances to mold me and teach me of His perfect plan for my life. He has always been there for me...He is faithful, even when I am not.

You continually put your word on my lips. My tongue shall praise you all the days of my life.
Your love is deep, high, long, and wide!

Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Your love is deeper than my view of grace.
Higher than this worldly place
Longer than this road I've traveled
Wider than the gap you've filled.

Who shall separate us...Who shall separate us from your love? Nothing can separate us...Nothing can separate us from your love!
Your love is deep
your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Romans 8:38-39
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."

All I have to say is ...hallelujah! I am so thankful nothing, absolutely nothing can separate me from God's Perfect Love! I am HIS...signed, sealed and delivered, I'm yours!

Thank you Lord for your grace, mercy, blessing's, and love each and every day. I know I don't deserve them.
I Love you!

Grandparent's

Paul's parent's Bob and Ann came to visit us from memphis, TN this past week for grandparent's day at school. We had a great time. They arrived Tuesday, June 9th. She had a wonderful idea to cook Muffaleta's for dinner, along side Guacamole, cheese dip and chips. those who love Muffaletta's like I do know what makes the sandwich...the relish! Her's are wonderful! We took a walk through tanyard Creek and came back for a birthday party for Bob. he turned 71 June 1st. Wednesday, was grandparent's day at school so the girls got to show nana and papaw around their turf! We then came home for a nap and went to dinner at Colton's. I love their baked sweet potatoes. We took them to church after dinner. I had choir practice, Paul showed them around church. Then Thursday they were headed back home. We walked to the waterfall at Tanyard Creek. They loved it.

Colorado Friday

Our day Friday, May 29, 2009 in Colorado Springs.

I think you can tell from the picture where we went...The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It truely is the best zoo I have ever toured. We actually got to feed and pet the giraffe's. The giraffe's were the first thing we saw when we entered the zoo. Then...


We decided to hop on the sky lift at the zoo. It was way cool and gave us a chance to see where we wanted to go first at the zoo.

This is a picture of us coming back down in the sky lift...same thing as a ski lift.



The most beautiful three musketeers I bet you've seen.

I know it's a bit blurry... Olivia riding the zoo carousel. Ally rode a real horse but Olivia has a broken arm, so she had to settle for the carousel. Despite her facial expression, she really enjoyed it.

I'll break down what we did...


We started out eating a wonderful breakfast at our hotel, then headed for the zoo...came back to the hotel for a quick rest and swim. We then headed out to sight-see Colorado Springs. I got to see where Paul was stationed at Fort Carson when he was in the Army, many years ago. We ended up eating dinner at Old Chicago...Yummy! and went to the mall to shop for souvenirs. We had a great day!

Colorado Thursday

This is our day Thursday, May 28, 2009 in Colorado Springs...
We left denver and headed straight to Colorado Springs. The first thing we all wanted to see was Pikes Peak.
It was breath-taking! Being 14,000 feet in the air. I couldn't believe God has this view all the time. I always carry a small bible in my purse. I couldn't wait to get up to the top and shout Praises to God! This is why it is so important to memorize scripture...To Worship the King!

Pike's Peak

Our family picture of us up on Pike's Peak!

You will be able to tell that Ally LOVES getting her picture taken

Isn't this a beautiful picture of the girls?!!! I love it. I am so blessed!

Paul wrote the girls name on the side of Pike's Peak! That was cool!
Me and the girls! It is VERY cold up there, but very worth the sight
Paul and the girls on Pike's Peak! My precious family!

We then had to go to Garden of the God's. That was very beautiful too.

Denver, Colorado Tuesday

Escalators going to the subway for baggage claim.

The Denver state capital building is breath-taking. It is so beautiful inside! We saw the state Supreme Court, Legislative and Senate. A must see if you go to Denver.

This is the inside of Casa Bonita.

The waterfall and skit they were performing before diving into the cold water.

Tuesday morning at 11:00 we landed in Denver, Colorado. The girls did great on the plane...it was me that needed help! Every seat was taken in the plane. I am claustophobic and Olivia had to have a window seat so I was stuck in the middle of her and another lady. It was hot on the plane...so right a way I began feeling nauseated and dizzy. Let's just say I was glad to land get off that plane!
We then went downtown and toured the state Capital Building. We tried to get in to see the U.S Mint. (where they make money) but it was booked for two months. We decided to head to our hotel.
We made it our hotel and got settled in...we then went to dinner at Casa Bonita. It was so much fun. We were there for at least 3 hours. Of course as you can tell with the name it is mexican food. I love mexican! While you are eating dinner, you watch a show. There is a waterfall in the restaurant wit actors that dive off in the water, flame throwers, arcade, gift shop, haunted cave (that was cool, we went through the cave a couple times). The girls got to break a pinata and grab candy. We had a blast Tuesday. I will let you know what we did the rest of the week daily. Check back for Wednesday fun!
