Less than two weeks from now, tickets in hand, my oldest daughter and I plan to go to the Steven Curtis Chapman/Andrew Peterson/Josh Wilson concert. To say we're looking forward to it is an understatement...we're stoked!
To help us get ready, Mike surprised me last week with Andrew Peterson's more recent album "Counting Stars." We have most of his older music, and love it! As is tradition, we curled up on the couch together to listen through the new album, lyrics in hand, sharing our thoughts song by song as they played. I love any opportunity for snuggle time with my man! Add good music, and it just gets even better. Andrew is poetic and is able to convey truth through stories and song in a way that reaches me...we both found much to enjoy on this new CD.
Steven sings a song to Mary Beth, his wife, to remind her she is changing the world one little heart beat at a time. Andrew wrote the same theme from a different angle in his "Planting Trees" song...be encouraged to change the world, to plant trees...snuggle up with someone you love and listen to this:
Romans 8 tells us that if we are led by the Spirit of God, we are His children; that we've received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out "Abba, Father"; and that if we put to death the deeds of the flesh as the Spirit enables us we will live. I believe that! So I am dying to live. Wanna die to live too? Let's live out this Jesus-loving joy-filled adventure together. To God be the glory!
About Me

- God is my greatest Treasure and walking through this life that He has given me WITH HIM is my greatest pleasure. I love being a wife to Mike, a man I grow more in love with each year that God gives us together. I am so thankful for our 3 beautiful children, grafted into our family by adoption, who have taught me oodles about God's grace and so much more!
