"Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

"Blessed Spirit, I give to You the entire responsibility of closing every road and stopping every step that is not of God. Let me hear Your voice behind me whenever I 'turn aside to the right of to the left.'"

...Miss Katie...
...watching Micaiah help me serve in the 2 year old class at church...how he was the only one that was able to calm a little girl that was crying for her Daddy...and when she would start crying again...all it took was an interaction with him...
...the teaching moment later when we were able to talk about how God used him today...
...feeling more and more that God is telling us what a friend recently shared with me about Abraham...to "Leave...and go to the land that I will show you."
...and then reading this..."This is the blessed life-not anxious to see far down the road nor overly concerned about the next step, not eager to choose the path nor weighted down with the heavy responsibilities of the future, but quietly following the Shepherd, one step at a time."

amazing pics, especially the black and whites of DC.
"but quietly following the Shepherd, one step at a time..." AMEN!
I was born and raised in Maryland so these photos were like a homecoming for me. So many memories of childhood, visiting all those same spots. Enjoyed my visit here today:)
Richelle...thanks!
Linda...if we could do just this!
Christina...so happy that you visited and "remembered" blessings from years before!
