Once Again lyrics

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again
I'm full of praise once again

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my Friend

Fall Fun

At a fall festival at a local ski resort

Daddy and Leia picking raspberries

Leia taking a big bite of a "just off the tree" apple.

At the pumpkin patch

Leia's first day of "school." She loved every minute of it!

It was fun to take out the "fuzzy pj's!"

Eating yummy corn from the farm near our house.

Perfect Peace by Laura Story

My Testimony

Growing up in a Christian family is such a blessing. I don't recall a day in my life when I did not know about Christ's amazing work on the cross. When I was little I learned a lot about the bible and about God's plan of redemptive history and salvation. As I grew up, the Lord used my parents and His Word to train and guide me. They taught me that it was MY sin that Christ died for, and that MY sin was fully paid for through His sacrifice. He rose from the dead and so will all those who trust only in Him. It was at a very young age that I acknowledged my sinfulness and my need for a Savior. I understood then, that I could do nothing on my own to earn God's favor. It was only through the sacrifice of Christ, as my substitute that I could stand before a righteous judge. When I confessed this total dependency on Christ and repented for the sins that I had committed, Christ became Lord of my life. Since then I have learned and am learning so much about who God is, and what He requires of us as His Children. I am joyful as I think about Christ's return, when He will take me home to live with Him. In His glory, I will praise Him as my Lord, Savior and King forever!
