So I promise to get everyone up to date on all things Stout soon! This has been a great year so far and I'm only 2 months behind! I thought in the mean time I'd give y'all a great worship song to hold you off for a bit more :] I'm loving the Rend Collective Experiment and I hope you do to! This song is great and has an amazing message!
Nothing has the power to save us from our sins but His name. I am so grateful to my father who pulled me out of the pit by dying on the cross. Can you believe he did that for you too? I hope you can believe it. If you do, we will be partying in heaven one day together....if you don't, talk to me and I'll let you know why I believe this so wholeheartedly!!
As morning dawns and evening fades
You in- spire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart and glorify Your Name
CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er
Your Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save
But Your Name
Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You and glorify Your Name
CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er
Your Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save but Your Name
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er
Your Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er
(1st & 2nd endings)
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save but
(Repeat Chorus)
(3rd ending)
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save but Your Name
(Repeat)
I am loving this song these days, we are the light of the world people...we gotta let the light shine!!! What are you listening to these days?
Every secret, every shame Every fear, every pain Live inside the dark But that's not who we are We are children of the day
So wake up sleeper, lift your head We were meant for more than this Fight the shadows conquer death Make the most of the time we have left
We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine
We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine Let the light shine, let the light shine
We are called to the spread the news Tell the world the simple truth Jesus came to save, there's freedom in His Name So let his love break through
We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine
What's the holiday season without a preschool Christmas Show? Joey did great despite the fact she walked out in a different outfit then I sent her to school in :] Apparently she didn't pee in her pants, but her pee shot out while she was on the potty?!? Too much info? LOL, oh well :] anyway, here are some super cute videos of our little star singing about Jesus!! I love it :]
After Joey's show they had a Christmas party back in the room! I love that Joey goes to a Christian Mother's Day Out. They actually get to have a Christmas party...not a holiday party!
first we had some circle time!
Karin is our room mom and she did great! She read the kids some books, sang songs with them and even had a craft!
First up was the manger mix! We mixed oats, sugar and sprinkles for the reindeer...we sprinkle them on our lawn so that they can find our house for Christmas night!
Now it's time for "Wake Up sleeping shepherds!
Now it's time for some yummy grub!!
The kids each got goodie bags to take home!
These were the baskets we all chipped in for our teachers! I have a post coming up on all the handmade gifts I made this Christmas and the teacher gifts will be included, so stay tuned!
Joey with Miss Stephanie :]
Joey with Miss Melissa :]
We love our teachers and they love our Joey! Thanks for a great 1st half of the year! Merry Christmas!!!
Christmas was coming and my bestie just started a new business where she sells great jewelry for $5...that's right folks, just $5!!!! Check out her blog here.....Fashion for 5. I of course want to support Liz and so I decided to host a party. We had some yummy drinks and a great time shopping! Check out all the pics and let me know if you are interested in hosting a party...I can get you in touch with Liz!
Since I didn't get any great pics of my Christmas decor, you can see a bit of it in these pics :]
No joke y'all, she just comes to your house, sets all this fun stuff up and you get FREE jewelry in the process! We had a great time and my friends got some great gifts for the family and friends! Thanks Liz for such a fun time! Love you and your $5 accessories!!!
Thanks to our wonderful family, we get to do some things that we normally wouldn't splurge on! This treat was on Jackie...she got us tickets to see Disney on Ice! It was so much fun and the entire family got a chance to go! We even met Becky and Cyndi there with their kiddos!
Our hosts for the evening were none other than Micky, Minnie, Donald Duck and Daffy Duck!
the girls were loving it! They were hooked from the beginning!
Sammy even did well for most of the show! She got a little antsy in the end, but all in all did a great job!
simba and nala :]
Loved these guys!!
One of the big numbers...under the sea, I think!
I was holding Sam for a while, but this was the last number with Peter Pan...that crocodile was legit!
We ended the day with a pizza picnic and Sammy decided to take a nap :] She must have had fun....fun enough to get worn out!
With Thanksgiving over, it's time to get ready for Christmas! Johnny and I usually do most of the work on our own, but the girls were both involved this year and it was so much fun! We slapped on some Christmas music and away we went! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :] Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope everyone had a great holiday season this year!!! I know we sure did!
I like to pretend others are just as interested about our family of 4 as I am, and that's why I write this blog :) Enjoy!
Things Stout Kids Say
I started a new blog of sorts..it's things our kids say. Some things are funny, some things are sassy, and some are unexplainable, as in I have no idea where they come up with this stuff! I update often, so check it out :]
