Beautiful Kodiak!





Kodiak is finally reminding us of her beauty today! It is our first day above 50 degrees and Zion and I most definitely took advantage of it! (Only the picture of Zi in the stroller was taken today, but I thought I'd add one from a few weeks ago too!) It is just PERFECT out and we are enjoying every minute of it! Psalm 89:17 says, "Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside of us- you've been SO good to us." That is how I feel today. I am just in awe of His beauty. I don't want to take it for granted and I pray that HIS beauty shines through our lives as we live each and every day for Him. God is SO good to us!!! Oh! And I just remembered something else! God showed me a little bit of His awesomeness in a cool way on our walk today! We have no idea how God is going to bless us. As I was walking I thought I found a dollar on the street. I was SO excited and was praising Him for it. When I picked it up it was a $20! How awesome is that!!! It really blessed me! Yup yup. He is SO good and we have NO IDEA all that He is capable of! I encourage you to trust God today that He is going to meet ALL of your needs!

Our Blessed Little Family!



Zion and I will be going on a trip to Arizona... TOMORROW! :) Yup yup! My momma decided to fly us down kinda spurr of the moment! What a blessing!!! We're going to get to see my youngest brother compete in his last year of Fine Arts and get to see one of my very good friends get married! Awesome! This trip will be very different without our Daddy... so please pray that all goes well on the flight!!! And if you're here in Kodiak please feel free to check in on Brandon and make sure he's not starving, lol.(I did leave him with a bunch of made meals that we froze!)

ZiZi

Greeting daddy after work.Our Family!

Such a sweetheart. He melts my heart! (Can you tell how far apart his front teeth are? His 2 bottom teeth fit between them! lol)
The perfect little face!
ZiZi is such a sweetheart! He has also all of a sudden started thinking of himself as a big boy! He loves experimenting and pushing his limits. :) Although, he makes up for it by turning around and giving a great big smile and a wave. :) Smarty. Who could resist not smiling back at this perfect little face? Not us. :)

Tsunami Update


Just wanted you all to know that we are just fine up here and have not been harmed in any way by the tsunami or earthquake. Thankfully some early morning calls and texts were our only warning that we may have been in danger. While the rest of the Pacific was in turmoil, we Kodiakians were safely tucked in our beds and not awoken by the many warning sirens located on the island. A small wave apparently hit our shore, but it did not put us in any immediate danger.While we are still under a tsunami alert/warning they are not expecting us to get hit with anything truly dangerous. We are blessed to live on a big hill and are actually where people will evacuate to in the event a large tsunami were to hit. Still it was a bit disconcerting to look out our bedroom window this early morning and see our peaceful ocean, wondering if an ominous wave was heading our way. Thankful we serve a BIG God and while the world is in turmoil right now HE still holds it in His amazing hands. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those that were effected this morning. Life can change SO quickly. I read that the wave was traveling at speeds over 500 miles per hour. Wow. You never know what is going to be speeding toward you in this life; we all need to be prepared for eternity at a moments notice. Are you ready? Jesus is waiting for you. He is only a prayer away. NOW is the right time. Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." He will not deny you. It is SO easy. John 3:16: For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not be lost but have eternal life. Just like this tsunami, life happens quickly and there may be no time to prepare, please be ready!!! Jesus is waiting for YOU! He is the reason that we are here. He has blessed us SO abundantly and whatever fiery darts the devil may throw at us in this life, we will continue to serve our AWESOME God. He is good ALL the time!

Foodie
