These lyrics...

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Refrain:Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me’
Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

These are the lyrics to a song that was included when I purchased the new Casting Crowns CD off itunes, it is sung by Casting Crowns and almsot has a lullaby sound to it! It's actually an old hymn, written in the 1800's I think, but they gave it a good upadte! I LOVE it! There is so many good songs on this cd, we've been listening to it NON-STOP, alternating between that, Toby and Jonah!

Last night at BSF we talked about the eight character traits of God's people. I have to say that I have been VERY convicted lately, in so many ways and places. It seems everything I hear, read or see has some way of convicting me! This was no exception. The traits are... Poor in Spirit, Mourn, Meek, Hunger and thirst for righteousness, Merciful, Pure in heart, Peacemakers, andPersecuted because of righteousness. I was really convicted by the definition we were given for: Meekness: Humility and submission to Gods will. Not being defensive, let God defend us. Don't exalt ourselves above God or others, submission to where God placed us in our lives. If we submit God gives us contentment and we inherit joy. I've been stuggling a bit with being at home and doing NOTHING. Not that I really do nothing, but in the eyes of the world, my job is not all that valued. I am confident that I'm where he wants me, just not fully ok with it yet. Merciful: There is NO EXCEPTION to who we show mercy to, no matter what the action was. Peacemakers: Take the peace we have with God and act it out in our lives. Not demanding we are right. We may have to compromise on our preferences. Without compromising God's word or truths though. So, yeah, these are a few of the things I need to work on right now. Just a few, really the list is just to long to enter here. But know that I'm working on it, all of it, one thing at a time.

So... on to other things. I got my pictures today from Winkflash. Love them. OK, so I love Landon & Elliots, I may have to redo Bailey's. not fully happy with the color of hers, but I'm thrilled with the rest. True fall pictures! I can't believe how many pictures I got for $18. Seriously great deal!

I have the day off tomorow! Good stuff, really it just means I dont have to get up before the sun even thinks about getting up. Not much else is different though really. Just one kid instead of two, and more mobile.

Class tonight was good. Better than last week. I'm actually learning something. walking around with Selena helps a lot, hopfully she doesn't mind me tagging along so much! we walked downtown and took pictures tonight. Looking for letters. Not just signs, but other things that make letters. I would post an example, but I'm to lazy, maybe later!

So, hope you are all having a wonderful week!
