Lord, I Need You

I love this song.  I thought I would share.

Matt Maher - Lord, I Need You Lyrics

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Wordless Wednesday-Happy Birthday Ben

Singing at Church

Hannah and Ethan sang at church today with all the other kids in their class.  I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching.  They were too funny.  I wasn't convinced Ethan would do anything other than stand there but he did and I think they enjoyed it.  Have a look:

Just in case your unsure which are my kids: 

Hannah is in the middle with the blue skirt and Ethan is next to her. hehehehe

Week 30 Letter Z

We are winding down our year and as a celebratory finish Andrew and I took the kids to the Zoo for Letter Z Week (weeks actually because it took us nearly 2 weeks to get anything done).  

Have a look:

Mommy and Ethan on the train.

A Camel

Ethan on the Zoo playground.

Hannah climbing like a monkey.

The kangaroo.

My favorite is the giraffe.

A Hawk.  I wish you could see how close this hawk was sitting to Ethan.

Here is Ethan looking at the hawk just to his right.

 Other stuff:

Hannah and Ethan playing with the rice bins. 

Hannah especially enjoyed using a mirror.

Matching bugs to the right color.

Doing number puzzles.

The Z-Zebra letter page.

Hannah counting out bugs into jars (thanks Amanda).  

Ethan sorted by color into his jars.

A favorite at our house is the water table.  I added foam letters this time.

Ethan finally figured out how to use the dropper.

E soup.

We have a few of a faith formation lessons left.  In this weeks lesson we focused on being thankful and appreciative of the friends in our lives.

Hannah and Ethan decorated and delivered cards to a friend each. 

They LOVED this activity.

Telling stories about friends.

Ethan needs to fins all his pictures before he can tell his story.
