momma, why does everybody love me?

Well...sad to see him go...we have moved on from Lightening McQueen. I never thought we would have another obsession that would surpass -- KAPOW! KACHOW!!! I was wrong! E is super hero crazy! He eats...breathes and sleeps super heroes {literally...he fights bad guys in his sleep}. Here are a few tons of pics from Super Hero Night at the Powerpark. There were too many cute pics to choose a few :)

Thanks to E...everyone was super-heroed-out!

Mommy's fav!

spiderman...iron man...captain america...bat girl & HULK

Baby L even made it to the park with us. I think he had a blast eating and sleeping.

Where does this chic think she's flying off to?

UH OH!!! It's time for battle!

Easton asked me a couple days ago...Momma, why does everybody love me? (number 1 --  I could have a list that goes on for days} {number 2 -- so thankful he feels loved) Before I even had a chance to say anything...he said, "Is it because I'm so tough and because I protect them from the bad guys? Because I love him so much...and because he's super hero crazy...my answer was "Yep, that's exactly why." What's crazy to me is that my precious babies will never understand the depth of my love for them. 

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8:37-39

My new favorite song...makes me want to SHOUT!!!

jesus! flood my soul!!!

More then ever before the enemy is in attack mode. Against me...everything good in me. Not sure why. I have found myself in prayer often...asking God why? All I know is that I shouldn't feel this way. I don't want to feel this way. I am blessed! I feel like I even need a more powerful word then blessed. I should be overwhelmed with joy...but I'm not. I've always said that people who are unhappy are too focused on themselves. I feel like I'm trying too hard to plan my life or to try to figure out what His plan for my life is. I was mowing the grass today {Yes. I said mowing the grass}. Even though I could see the kids as they jumped on the trampoline...I couldn't hear anything but the mower. I'm mowing. I'm praying. Then I stopped. I turned the mower off and heard His voice. God said, "take one day at a time!" Simple...I know.  Common sense...I know. But I needed to hear it.  I'm going to try my best. I'm going to give it my all. I'm going to give it all to Him. 

{when the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of God will raise a standard against him ! -- isaiah 59:19}

the best way to stop the devil's attack is to counter-attack! the best defense is an offense. wage a militant warfare against the enemy! baptize yourself constantly in Prayer, soak yourself in the Word, memorize and quote God's Promises -- even to the devil, as well as to yourself. you can put the enemy out of action with the word. bury him in a flood of the Truth!

These pictures seemed...fitting. Probably some of my favorite pictures EVER! I love spontaneous fun. Yes! I let my kids play in the rain...in the street and in the flood waters. I love the saying..."let kids be kids!" That's exactly what I did. They had a ball!

daddy was the safety patrol

i don't know what tomorrow may hold

but i know that you're holding it all

so no matter what may come

i'm gonna fix my eyes on all that you are

'til every doubt i feel

deep in my heart

grows strangely dim

let all my worries fade and fall to the ground

i'm gonna seek your face

and not look around

'til the place i'm in grows strangely dim
