What is Man?

In my Bible reading tonight, I was reading in Psalms when I came across a scripture that gripped my heart. The fact that God loves me never ceases to amaze me. He loves you and me and He is never too big or too busy for us!!!

Psalm 144:3
Lord, what is man that you take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that you are mindful of him?

The side note in my Blackaby Study Bible says, "It is incomprehenisible that God concerns Himself with us. In truth, we are nothing compared to His greatness, yet He loves us and cares about the smallest details of our existence."

Wow!!!

Samantha,
Thanks for your sweet note! I really like Eli too! Can't wait to have one of my own! :)
Listen to how crazy this is...I had your blog address messed up, so everytime I checked it it went to "this is the day that the Lord has made" instead of a new blog. I thought you never updated it until I clicked on your name tonight. CRAZY! I've been missing out! I'm going to have to play catch up reading! :)
Also...your post reminded me of that song, "who am I that you are mindful of me? that you love me? ...I am a friend of God"! That is amazing! I'm glad you reminded me of this tonight! :)
Loved it!!!!

Happy Birthday, Oki!

I can hardly believe it...Our Okianna Grace turned two on June 16 th . We celebrated her birthday at a family gathering on Father's Day. She had a blast and so did we! If you're wondering about her finger...she swiped some icing before we sang Happy Birthday. This is a picture from her actual "birthday", June 16 th . If anyone had asked me a little over two years ago, I would never have guessed that were about to have a little princess in our lives. My dad was the only one that "knew". When our doctor said, "It's a girl!" Wayne and I really couldn't believe our ears! We were that convinced that we were having a boy; even though , looking back now I see that her pregnancy was completely different from the boys'. She's definitely been a blessing, albeit a quickly moving, demanding, and whiny one, but none the less a precious, angel girl blessing...

We're Still Here: An Update from the Russell Family

Image
I know I'm way past due for an update! There is no excuse, just plain procrastination on my part! Don't get me wrong, I've been busy, too! Anyway, we've not had any real excitement around here since Christmas, but I did want to share a few pictures of my precious ones... Kayla recently brought Oki some tap shoes. She has enjoyed tapping away. I guess we are going to let her take from Mrs. Sellers next year. For months, Eli and Max have been building wooden cars during RAs at church on Wednesday nights. A few weeks ago they got their chance to see how fast their cars were at Ino's Pinewood Derby. Sadly, Max's car didn't win in his division, but we're so happy that Eli's got second place in his division. Since Eli's car will race again, his wasn't available for pictures... These pictures were taken one afternoon recently while the children and Kayla were outside riding the golf cart. When you have older children like our boys, Eli and Max,...

Thanks in advance for your input...
