{31 days of worship Day 9} Fall

I had some internet problems this weekend so I am a little behind on my little lessons on Worship. I hope to get caught up today, we shall see. Here is today's and I will continue working to back-post the rest of the week's.

Fall

Fall is my favorite season as a whole. The air is crisp and clean (or is supposed to be, until yesterday we have had quite the second summer here), leaves are changing colors, the scents of Fall are everywhere (and they smell so good!) But I also like to view fall from a spiritual aspect. It's actually the beginning of our spiritual cycle. The Bible says we as Christians go through seasons too, and the first season we go through is that of laying down our problem areas and allowing them to die. This prepares us for a still, quiet season of prayer asking God what we need to change and allowing Him to help us (winter). Then our new life begins to blossom (spring) and we find ourselves blessed with the fruit of our labor and harvesting the seeds we've planted (summer).
Watching the trees lay down their leaves in preparation for the new life that will take their place reminds me of us laying down our crowns before the Lord in worship and allowing Him to take us where He wants us to be.

We fall down, we lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus

And we cry Holy Holy Holy
We cry Holy Holy Holy
We cry Holy Holy Holy
Is the Lamb

Getting back into blogging

This is one of the great moments in our family's life.... Alex learned to eat! Today, I had a visit from my very good friend Kati and her mother Cheryl to learn how to do special things with our blogs. We learned many things that can be done to enhance a post and the blog itself.I am so inspired now to do more with my blog, I just wish I had a more reliable laptop so that I could use it daily. That is one of the things I have on my dream list, along with a nice digital camera to help me capture and document all of the great things in my family's life.

My Goal

My name is Britni and I have a beautiful three month old little boy. It is the goal of my husband and I to train our children to love the Lord and follow His will for their lives, and to fully support them in doing so. Let me give you a little bit of my background. Many people may think a 21 year old with only one small baby wouldn't know a whole lot about raising children, but I have been around children my whole life. My parents adopted my little sister as a newborn when I was fourteen years old and I had the joy of watching her grow up and learn things through homeschooling just as I did. Also from the same age I have been a teacher of ballet, tap, and jazz to children from the ages of three through nine. Long story short, I have been working with children for a very long time so many of the things I may write about have come through a lot of thought. I plan on using this blog to share with other parents some of the things we have done and will do with our children to help t

{31 Days of Worship- Day 7} When I Think About the Lord

Image
I was listening to this song the other day as a possible choice for a new song for our worship team when my husband turned to me and said "that was my grandmothers favorite song". I had to share it in memory of "Mema" who was a great woman, even though I only had the privilege of knowing her for a couple years. She truly lived out the lyrics of this song, praising God for everything He had given her. A beautiful family, A beautiful home built by her husband, and most of all a wonderful Savior who loved her. She is truly missed. When I Think About The Lord- Hillsongs When I think about the Lord How He saved me, How He raised me How He filled me with the Holy Ghost How He healed me to the uttermost When I think about the Lord How He picked me up and turned me around How He placed my feet on solid ground It makes me wanna shout Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! Lord You're worthy of all the Glory And all the Honor and all the Praise
