Your ransom paid and freedom won

We will see His Kingdom Come

When sinners all exalt the Son

Lift up your heads

Oh oh oh lift up your heads

Look on Him

Lift up your heads

Lift high, your chains undone

All rise, exalt the Son

Lift high, your chains undone

All rise, exalt the Son

Faith

Today was an amazing day. God blessed it.

It was my profession of faith and back when I spoke to the elders, they asked me why I was doing my profession.

God always has been part of my life. When I was a baby, I was baptized and a whole lot of promises were made by my parents and the congregation. Today in a way I accepted my baptism. I believe that God is my Father and Creator. He loves me more than I can ever imagine. Sin separates me from God, but Christ bought me at an incredible price that I might live and be saved from my sins and spend ETERNITY with Him!

We sang two songs put together into one. It is called 'My Desire' . If you have never heard the songs before, they are 'My Desire' by Jeremy Camp and 'This is my Desire' by Reuben Morgan I encourage you to listen to them. They are very powerful.

This is my desire

This is my return

This is my desire to be used by you

God has always been a part of my life and I always want him to be a part of my life. God has placed me on this amazing journey and I want to spend every day walking with Him and for Him.

Your statutes are wonderful;

therefore I obey them.

The unfolding of your words gives light;

it gives understanding to the simple.

I open my mouth and pant,

longing for your commands.

Turn to me and have mercy on me,

as you always do to those who love your name.

Direct my footsteps according to your word;

Let no sin rule over me.

Redeem me from the oppression of men,

that I may obey your precepts.

Make your face shine upon your servant

and teach me your decrees.

Psalm 119:129-135

Four...then Six...then Seven

Yesterday I was babysitting and the little boy said to me

"Right now I'm four...then I'll be six and then I'll be seven"

I asked him when he was going to be five/if he was ever going to be five

"I don't really know when I gonna be five"

Super Cute Moment.

Lucy the Llama

Thanksgiving day, Mom and I were at home while Dad, Emily, and Kat went to the Rockton Fair. Mom looked out the front window because she noticed that traffic was going slowly.

"Brit! There's a Llama running down the road!"

Its not every day you see a Llama running down the road. By the time we got the camera going, the Llama had already run behind our barn and into our field towards the neighbors house.

The people from down the road came looking for thier llama, we were walking to the neighbours to see the llama, and the neighbours dogs were chasing the llama into the next neighbour's cornfield.

First of all, it was cool to see a llama up close. Ever since Emporer's New Groove, llama's in my eyes are extremely cool

Second, all this time while Dad, Kat, and Emily were at the fair, the real show was at home.

Turns out you don't have to go to the Rockton's fair to see a llama show. Thanks for coming for a visit Lucy.

an EGGcellent observation...

So as some people know, this summer I quit my Saturday job at Tim Hortons to work for my sister. The egg buisness has been in my family for years, so I've been getting back into the groove of selling eggs again (yes, this does include getting up at 4:30 on Saturday mornings). But I love it. Its a chance for me to hang out with my sister once a week. Em and I laugh alot. We have some good times.

so here...

I came across some funny pictures that made me laugh. They are quite EGGcellent, they are EGGceptional, and they might just make your day EGGstra fine.

When people ask me what I prefer to eat (and since I don't like eggs) I tell them I prefer white, cause that's what I would eat if I ate them.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday 12th David
