Grace, the cutest sister, from 2005-2010

The Last few days, while looking at pictures, something struck me. I have the world's cutest sister!!! Okay, it's struck me before ;). But I decided I needed to blog about it.

So... here's what I'm doing. I'm posting 8-13 of my favorite pictures of Miss Grace Hannah for each year since we've had her, excluding 2005 because I only have two pictures of her on this computer (And yes, I went a little overboard in 2008 because we went on vacation. So expect a few more there!). So, back to 2005, I'll post those two because they're awfully cute!!! So anyway, if you're reading this, please comment on your favorite for each year and your favorite overall! I'll tell you, it was hard narrowing it down to just a few per year, we've taken so many pictures of that little girl! Oh, one more thing. If you have a lot of pictures saved of your younger siblings, I'd encourage you to do something similar to this! It's so fun looking at all these sweet photos and I think I'll do this for Titus soon. :)

God, will you dance with me?

From the heart of an unknown author—
"When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw “G: I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i”. “God, “u” and “i” dance.” God, you, and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday. May you abide in God as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life.
And I Hope You Dance!!!!!!!!"

After reading this, I decided that no longer should I just casually follow God. I'm going to dance, and let Him lead.
