Here, There and Everywhere!

The title of my post pretty much explains our life right now! Zach is playing softball for our church and Ethan is playing T-ball. Between ball games and church and serving the Lord however He sees fit, we have been gone almost every night for the last few weeks! We definitely lead a Full life! Sometimes I find myself asking the question, "Is it worth it?" My answer to that would be yes, if what we are doing brings honor and glory to God. Zach and I try to lead a life that brings honor and glory to God at all times so that others see a difference in us. We want people to see in us that God has something to offer that the world does not. I pray that we can do this with a humble spirit so that we do not come across as being "Holier that Thou" because we certainly do not think of ourselves as being "better" than anyone else! I pray that the people we come into contact with at the ball parks and Walmart, and anywhere else we go, will say to themselves, "There is just something different about them, and I want whatever they have too!" God offers us something so priceless that the world cannot even try to equal. He offers peace, hope, security, and eternal life through His Son, Jesus! Anything short of that is pretty much worthless to me! I just pray that we can share this priceless gift with others!

I'm so proud of Ethan! He has already understood that he is a sinner and has asked Jesus Christ to take his sins away. I cannot even begin to explain what joy this brings to me to know that Ethan and I will spend eternity in heaven together with our Savior! I guess what saddens me the most is that we all have loved ones that we will be separated from for eternity unless they accept what Jesus did for them on the cross. But this is not so with our beloved son, Ethan. And, because of his decision for Christ, he is going to be baptized this Sunday night! We did not want to push him in this decision, but he was the one to actually bring this up. He was very adamant that he wanted to be baptized. Believe it or not, even a four year old can understand that baptism is a step of obedience to God, and Ethan very much wants to be obedient! We will try to video tape it and post it next week. Our prayer is now that God will use Ethan mightily for Him. We are also praying fervently that God will save Ayden at an early age! Please pray about this with us!

Well, we are all well for the moment and I do hope we stay that way. Ayden just got over a double ear infection and Ethan had a cold. We are enjoying 80 degree weather here in sunny Alabama, and spending most of it outside! My birthday is tomorrow. My family and I celebrated last weekend with a dinner out to Olive Garden. It was wonderful! My husband bought me a sowing machine (I'm picking up a new hobby), and my mom got me a new dress! For those of you wondering how old I am, I'm not going to come right out and tell you but I will tell you I was born in 1981. I know you can figure it out! I'll post some picks of the boys now since I know that is what you really want to see! Thanks again for stopping by to check on us!
