The Pursuit of a Life of Praise

In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. ~ Psa 45:4-7

WHAT A MONKEY!

This is the closest thing that I have ever come to being a part of a miracle from God. This is God's blessing to me. Caleb Sebastian, is 4 years old and what a fun handful! He is the funniest, cutest, and most wildly imaginative child that I know. I'm ridiculously partial and biased, but com'mon, could you resist this smile! If you have ever wondered what people think of you, have kids, because they become the spittin' image of you in so many ways. Even I catch myself thinking, "Wow, that is so something that I would have said!" or "That was my face!" It is extreme to be a parent - laughing one minute and crying your eyes out the next. It is also the most heart wrenching thing. There is so much power that your own children have with your heart! In one week, Caleb asked me to marry him and a few days later asked me, "Mommy, is it okay if we don't hold hands anymore?" See, gut-wrenching! He also tells me all the time just how proud he is of me! That is quite an accomplishment, if I do say so myself. So, let's dive a little deeper into the mind of a 4 year old:
