God is the reason why
even in pain, I smile;
in confusion, I understand;
and in fear, I continue to fight!

God truly is the reason. He's the reason I wake up each morning; I've taken a vow to represent Him each day and love people in His name. He's the reason I smile at people, hoping to be a ray of sunshine in a dark world. God's the reason I am able to understand that difficult situations only bring us closer to Him and each other. Honestly, God's the only reason that I'm able to continue this fight!
God, thank you for carrying me through this difficult season in my life. Thank you for my family, friends, mentors, and church. Lord, I give it all over to you; the burdens I carry are too heavy and you have offered to take them. Thank you. You are my strength and my hope, my joy and my reason for everything.
God, to you be the praise!

Christmas 2013
I just realized that I never posted pictures from Christmas, so for those of you who don't have Facebook, here's some pictures! :-)

We started off our Christmas season by making a gingerbread house at the library! We were there about ten minutes and Lucas decided it was done. He had a great time, though, and was extremely proud of his finished product!
We then visited with Santa at the village Christmas celebration and Lucas asked him for a race car!
Then Christmas morning came and we had fun watching him unwrap his presents and say "Thank You!" after opening each one! His favorite gift this year was his "racecar" from GT and Aunt Tana!
I can't describe to you how blessed we are to have this little man in our lives! He's such a passionate, curious guy and has a spirit that will carry him well throughout his life. Most important of all, we're raising him to understand that God loves him and Jesus is his friend! It was so precious to hear him talk about Baby Jesus as he saw a nativity scene, and pray to God at each Christmas meal! :-) We are blessed beyond imagination!!
